I have had so much trouble with the video game shield libraries. Even though they are properly installed into the sketch book folder titled Libraries, every example fails to compile because the program cannot find a certain file. There is always but one fatal error that tells me some file in the video game shield library cannot be found - like TVout.h. I am running Arduino 1.6.3, with the Arduino Leonardo, so do these error occur because the program is out of date or because the shield is not compatible with the Leonardo?
Hi Chris,
I'm not prepared to answer your question, however, the video game shield library is not a standard part of Arduino, so you should post a link to it. Also read the "How to use this forum" post at the top of the list, because you will need to include other, more specific, information in order to get a useful answer.
Sorry for the small post, anyway here is the link to the Video game shield libraries here and here is the error that comes directly from the TVout example DemoPAL.
Arduino: 1.6.3 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino Leonardo"
DemoPAL.pde:1:19: fatal error: TVout.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Error compiling.
Have you downloaded and installed the TVout library before compiling ?
Yes Like I said in the first post, I downloaded the zip folder from the link I posted, and installed all the folders including the TVout library into the sketch book library.
can you post a link to what you downloaded (just to check)

-There is also an updateed version of the TVout library that I downloaded, (Arduino-TVout).
All these libraries including the updated one fail to compile a TVout example because it cannot find either TVout.h, or fontALL.h, which are installed into the sketchbook libraries folder.
