Re: Gamepad not Detected - Why me

The common ground on the board doesn't reach the GND pin :lol: Bet you I'll have another problem once I fix this problem. *fingers cros...

Gamepad not Detected - Why me

My screen problem still not fixed but I decided to move onto the last part of the project. This Game Boy projected been a mess and I feel like someone telling me to give up on this. :lol: I was going to go with a Teensy but I didn't want to deal with USBs.

Re: Largest Battery Size

IS there any reason not to use a battery from a cell phone that has a removable battery? It looks like a something like an extended battery for something like a samsung galaxy s3/s4 would fit great. https://www.amazon.com/PowerBear-Samsung-Extended-Battery-Protective/dp/9838427853/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF...

Inverted Colored Screen or Broken Screen??

Picture speak for themselves. That's not how the Retropi load up screen should look like.

Any ideas what's going on?

Re: Help with Audio Please

Update: It seems like the 3 pin Volume Wheel is GND, Input and Output with the pins facing you and upwards. The audio is complete crap without the filter. I ordered parts for the low filter and it should take a week to arrive. I still need to figure the inputs and outputs on the headphone jack. :(
