Odd since the controller works off of 2 AA batteries which at best is 3v and lower, so maybe you wired it wrong or the controller has a boost circuit. Ah, I better check the wiring! Thanks for the info. Also this is a USB repo controller, not a genuine Nintendo controller. Sorry, should have made t...

To answer my own question, I tested it and yes, you need a 3.7 to 5V step up.

I'm swapping out the charging board with this one...

It can charge a lipo battery and power boost from 3.7V to 5V

Pretty much complete... just waiting on a USB to sata adapter and a micro hdmi extension cable because I'm not happy with how tight the right-angle connector is in the port and that it's interfering with the USB C power connector. PS I found out that not all USB cable manufacturers stick to the whit...

Well, spot the obvious mistake in my wiring to the pi.

Anyway spotted it, sorted it out, wired and put everything together and the USB is not detected so definitely needs 5v. I've got a power boost on order.

Fitment is pretty good otherwise considering everything I managed to squeeze into there.

when you get to powering the pi, check out the snes zero project, for doing it over the hdmi: https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2753 Hi, Could this be powered by a lipo battery including the controller? I have a query whether the whole lot including the controller can be powered fr...

Hi, I've got a query for a new build. I'm intending to power a USB Xbox controller from the pi zero, which itself will be powered from a 3.7V 1350mAh lipo battery. I.e. will the controller work with only 3.7V? The rumble packs have been removed so its only the controller buttons and circuitry left w...

My new build is a PS1 with 4GB RPi 4B inside. It uses 3D printed parts bought from eBay for the front controller ports, HDMi port, audio ports and power port as well as an infill for the CD laser and a cradle for the RPi and cooling fan. It's a WIP - probably 90% complete. What I've done so far is c...

Just so everyone knows I took him up on the offer and when time permits I will work on this project. Although the LCD seems to be SPI I will try to get it working as DPI in the end build. That's fantastic Helder. If you can get a commercial product sorted (you're the best person to accomplish this)...
