        Same product as the 5"... only wider... so everything is here https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/TFT5-Screen-HDMI-(EN)

          @ian57 so I just make the code adjustments on the config.txt file by adding this line of code correct?

          uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

          hdmi_force_hotplug=1

          uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (here we are forcing 800x480!)

          hdmi_group=2
          hdmi_mode=1
          hdmi_mode=87
          hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0

          max_usb_current=1

            @creaturefactory Yep seems good. Please put "```" around the code to show it like that :

            #uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
            hdmi_force_hotplug=1
            
            #uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (here we are forcing 800x480!)
            hdmi_group=2
            hdmi_mode=1
            hdmi_mode=87
            hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0
            
            max_usb_current=1
            

            It's easier to read 😉

              Ahh I see comments right sounds good thanks man 🙂 have been searching all over the place and no good results now that I fee confident in this and especially changing the config text on RecalBox I'm going to purchase it to finish off my Arcade prototype.
