Retropie & CS Lite
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2018 8:19 am
Guys, I have a Retro pie image that works great on my RP3. Do you see any issues taking the SD card and using it for my circuit sword lite GB Zero? Will this be plug-and-play?

ALL the code used will be put up on github so technically you could do anything with thatthe code for the CS (with CM3) is already on github, I haven't uploaded for the CS Lite (with pi zero) yet, that will happen a little closer to the time of shipping
TLDR: No it will not be plug and play, but it is technically possible with some tweaks on your end.
thx for you reply kitekite wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 7:10 amI haven't tested this myself, but it should work: https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sw ... stallationjungb wrote: ↑Sat Oct 20, 2018 9:51 amhi kitekite wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 1:47 amYou would need to apply some other settings (like to enable the DPI LCD, and install the battery monitor) but otherwise it might work.. when you receive it i suggest starting out with the pre-made image just to make sure it all works fine and then try messing with other things.

can you tell me how to install the battery monitor on you CSL Board,thx
DPI is used for LCD, software bit-banging is used to read the registers, and the power management microcontroller is running my own custom code to handle the safe shutdown power states and uses a custom "1 wire like" protocol to send the battery voltage to the pi
