Hi everyone,

I’m running a Raspberry Pi 3 A+ together with a Waveshare 5‑inch display, and I’m trying to set up Picotron on Raspberry Pi OS Lite. The goal is to build a kind of “mini Picotron computer” with a keyboard and mouse.

The problem: Picotron always starts in a very small SDL2 window. When I try to switch to fullscreen, it crashes instantly. On Pico‑8 I was able to fix similar issues by adjusting console parameters, but in this case nothing seems to work. Even when I change the framebuffer resolution to 480×270, the window still stays tiny.

Has anyone here run into this issue or found a workaround?
