Does your Emulation Station boots up? If it does, if you have a spare usb port, you must connect a keyboard... Press F4 to enter terminal (like ms-dos) Otherwise, must use a usb gamepad to go to retropie settings and activate ssh. This way you can use putty on you PC to access your pi and enter term...

When the raspberry pi is powered on the screen flickers. I can see the retro pie boot screen but it turns on for a second then powers off then comes back on after 2 seconds then goes off. The pi zero boots up fine, it’s just having the screen stay on for more than a second at a time. So probably it...

May I just say that no one has ragged on me for the powerstrip and I'm not sure why not...

Yeah, i recommend always double checking those charge/boost modules, and always use protec...

just curious, what was the issue? i bought a few of these too, but i wasn't sure if i wanted to try using them in a gbz. i am putting one in a little bluetooth speaker i'm also building though, and it seems to be fine in that. When i tried it, and used a jumper wire instead of pushbutton, the volta...

The Problem: Hi, and welcome. According to your wiring, it should work. But that banggood pcb behavior is not normal.. the blue led should be on constantly. So, a) maybe all system is consuming a lot of current and the power module cant handle it b) maybe fried some component on the power module, a...

Hello :D Soon i want to build a GBZ for my son. Here i will post the questions i have and hopefully some of you can help me :idea: My question : im searching for a alternative powerboost for the eu market. The adafruit one seems for me a bit expensive (except you say its absolutel worth it and chea...

If you are using that screen, try doing the Tinkerboy's Brightness control feature tutorial, maybe it might help.

I am using some other screens which have controls, and making adjustments in contrast and brightness helps ALOT in image quality
