USB controllers disabled?

Would love to add a usb controller, but i'm having issues. I'm aware the USB connection is only 3v and I have connected a powered USB hub. WiFi adaptors, keyboards etc all work great. But where retropie would normally recognise a controller, I'm getting nothing. USB pad is showing as powered. Under ...

Random resets?

The last few times I've played a game it just soft resets back to the title screen. I know holding down button combinations can do this but most times I've been holding a single direction and single button. I chose not to have additional back buttons added, so it's just the face buttons. I'm guessin...

Re: Circuit Gem - Installed Pi zero with no Wifi!!

As mentioned the micro USB connector on the GEM is a 'OTG' port, you can plug in an 'OTG cable' and either use a USB wifi adapter, or a USB stick as mentioned. The easiest way is to get one of those "USB OTG HUB" adapters, which gives you like 3 full sized USB ports, connects to the Gem, and also h...

Re: Need help setting up wifi/adding roms

Hello, I recently bought a circuit gem from someone else that had roms and everything already set up. Couldn't get wifi setup to add some more roms that were missing. When I inserted the SD card, it needed to be reformatted and had to delete everything. I have the circuit gem software flashed on th...

Re: Wifi

After all that, turns out the WiFi adapter was the problem. Bought a new one hoping it was compatible and got lucky. WiFi restored!

Re: Circuit Gem WANTED!!!

I have one from a previous pre-order from Kite that I haven't built yet. I also have a New smoke black VMU. Think this lot owes me £100, I could let you have it for that plus postage. PayPal friends or add PayPal fees. I'll post a picture if interested. Delivered in super fast time, really good com...

Wifi

No Wifi enabled zeros available so just installed a non WiFi version, assuming the image would just work with retro pie. Found out it needs setting up through WiFi... windows also doesn't like the pi's file system. Lesson learned. I already removed the usb to make extra room. Now, I thought about ta...

Circuit Gem - Installed Pi zero with no Wifi!!

Have I messed up? There was no zeros in stock with WiFi. Picked up a regular one, just assumed installing a premade image meant that everything was installed. I was wrong!! I now can't configure retropie and also discovered the file system is hidden in Windows - so not sure how to get the roms over ...

Circuit Gem WANTED!!!

Hi everyone, Like an idiot I listed my first request in completely the wrong section. I know preorders started shipping on these recently and really hoping someone had either ordered too many or simply forgot and no longer require! I'm aware demand is usually higher than supply so happy to pay full ...
