v3.5 MintyPi update

Quick question on checking for/installing updates to mintypi. I’ve seen on the v3.0 mintypi how-to build video that there is the ability to check for update right from the system. However, I don’t see the “Check for updates” under the RetroPie menu on the system. Was this feature moved or possibly r...

Re: Possible solder issue with audio

From what I can tell, it is either an issue on the board, or I have a bad solder joint between the Raspberry Pi and the mintyPi board. A...

Possible solder issue with audio

So first I want to say I did search and saw that the audio is a somewhat common issue to have. However, those threads don’t seem to completely relate to my issue. This was my first real soldering project, so I was glad to get the free practice boards along with my MintyPi v3.5. I was very careful do...
