DPI display brightness control

Just as I am putting the finishing touches on the build I've been working on and off for oh so many months at this point... another hiccup. As of now, I have a working Gameboy Zero with a gorgeous and responsive DPI display (huge thanks to TinkerBOY and everybody else who helped along the way). I 3d...

Re: Using PWM sound with DPI display

After lots of testing, I figured out that the issue was software. So, I found a forum post somewhere mentioning that retrogame might've been interfering with their PWM audio. I was using TinkerBOY's image, with the config file for DPI display, the DPI overlay file and retrogame pre-installed. I didn...

Re: Using PWM sound with DPI display

Okay, so after getting some sleep I realize now that I missed that GPIO pin 18 is still left open, so I can use the PWM capabilities of that pin. Only problem is, I cannot seem to get it to enable. I followed uncommented and slightly modified the config.txt file to add the lines needed to enable PWM...

Gearbest Screen Out of Stock/Discontinued

I am looking to build a Gambeoy Pi Zero with Tinkerboy's DPI adapter, but the Gearbest screen that it is compatible with is out of stock or discontinued. After a bit of searching I found something that looked to be the same on Newegg and a couple other sites, but couldn't be totally sure. It really ...

Re: Raspberry Pi Zero WiFi not Working

Have you tried instructions at https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Wifi ? Yeah, I just skimmed through it and tried most of the methods listed but it seems like it doesn't detect the onboard wifi chip at all. I just decided to borrow a wifi dongle from a friend to finish the retropie up...

Raspberry Pi Zero WiFi not Working

I just bought a new Raspberry Pi Zero W and made an SD card with Retropie (from Tinkerboy's link with the adafruit retrogame preinstalled) but no matter what I do I cannot get the WiFi to work properly. I'm a newb when it comes to Raspberry Pi and Linux, but I've been trying for the past couple hour...

Re: TinkerBoy Gameboy Zero PCB 1.1 Inconsistently Responding

Hey TinkerBoy, thanks for the quick response! After a couple days away from the project I came back to it today to make sure of some things. First, I used my multimeter to make sure all my solder joints were good. Everything checked out. Not knowing what else to do I watched a video of somebody else...
