I'm betting it's something stupidly simple that I have not yet done... I replaced my coot\config with the code at the end of this post allowing me to rotate the screen etc (sorry I don't know the tags to use for code 😞 ) as I have just mounted the pi on a 7inch screen.

It's rotated just fine but I have two problems regardless of rotation:

  1. The rainbow splash screen is still shown
  2. N64 games just come up with a black screen and then exit. Everything else seems to work just fine... they also worked fine when connected to a TV via the HDMI port

.
