RetroZero A+ edition

https://i.imgur.com/FWo8XWC.jpg tl;dr After making and using my RetroZero I really wanted a hand held with a bit more horse power. I really like the Raspberry pi 3A+ form factor and the extra horse power it brings. I’ve taken the basics from the RetroZero then souped-up. I’ve upgraded the screen an...

Zero control - DS edition

https://i.imgur.com/kshFRnB.jpg tl;dr Lately I’ve been experimenting with using a Arduino pro micro as a HID for controllers for RetroPie. I was using these soft touch SMD buttons with plastic tops, This was great but with long gameplay sessions they would hurt my fingers. I wanted to use buttons f...

RetroZero (Raspberry pi zero handheld)

https://i.imgur.com/68R0Krw.jpg tl;dr I’ve been on a quest for while now trying to build a retropie handheld that was functional but didn’t break the bank. So far I’ve made ZeroBoy – A poor man’s retropie “portable” and a follow-up ZeroBoy rev C – An improved poor mans retropie portable. These were...

Re: Pi man arcade (mini arcade)

This is brilliant! I've been staring at a mini arcade machine I have for the passed few days thinking..... "bet a pi would fit in there". This build this is a little bigger and certainly better looking! Thanks, The arcade was made to be used with an Ipad mini. Ive since sold it but I think I will b...

Pi man arcade (mini arcade)

https://i.imgur.com/wFDYqq3.jpg tl;dr I wasn’t using my pigrr2 so I decided to strip it and make something I would use out of its parts. I was looking for an arcade cabinet/case that I could put a 5″ screen into, I found that someone had used the same screen 5″ I had into a Zeon Tech Arcadie. Follo...

Re: [Guide] ili9341 SPI TFT Screen on Retropie

Oh so you couldn't get it to work on the breakout board but could on the bare screen? yes Sorry to bother. I just saw what your amazing achievement. However, I can not duplicate what you did with the fbcp-ili9341 cmake. I have the same st7789vw bare board and wire to raspberry zero. Fbtft can activ...

Arduino controller

I needed a controller to use while testing different hardware with retropie. I basically used a joystick library with a arduino pro micro. Luckily it had just enough pins (12 digital) for a d-pad a b x y and shoulder buttons plus start and select https://i.imgur.com/XUm7xbo.jpg https://i.imgur.com/e...

Re: [Guide] ili9341 SPI TFT Screen on Retropie
