Working on another gameboy zero with the BW screen. trying to install the GPIO option. Followed the How to guide and since i am using retropie 4.3 it doesn't have Adafruit-Retrogame on it and when i try to use the curl command to get it, the file displays the code but doesn't actually download the program or make the directory. I have not been able to have it let me make the file itself with a make command. I do have Wifi and internet, the Adafruit test command resulted in a confirmation. It just doesn't seem to want to download but show what "
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafr ... trogame.sh" display if you go to it in a browser.

Did you make it executable ?
Sudo +X your_file
And then launch it via sudo ./your_file

i normally install it manually.
Code: Select all
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame
cd Adafruit-Retrogame
make
sudo make install
then you need to create a file to make retrogame in the actual games
Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/10-retrogame.rules
then inside nano you need to paste
Code: Select all
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="retrogame", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}="1"
press ctrl + o to save, then ctrl + x to close
you will then need to make it run at startup, so add it into /etc/rc.local

Thank you Moosepr, i forgot all about the clone function, that got me going the correct route.
do i create the file under retrogame, /boot, or home/Pi?

I normally do it in the home directory. I can't remember if make install works.
I did miss the step about copying one of the config files into /boot as that's where it looks for the pin mapping

I made a RetroPie 4.3 image with the Adafruit Retrogame already pre-installed. You can download it from
http://blog.tinkerboy.xyz/retropie-sdca ... r-support/. It's around 755mb zipped file. Clean and tested.

Thank you TinkerBoy, i will give it a try and see how it goes.
Does yours already have the PWM set up on the GPIO 18?

I updated the file to use the 7z zip format to shrink it to just 578mb.
