Re: Powering Raspberry Pi 4
I'm looking to make a Game Boy Zero but with a RPi4 instead and I'm having trouble finding the right device to charge/power it. The PowerBoost 1000c doesn't seem to supply enough amperage to power it. I'm quite new to projects like this and I'm not even really sure what type of setup I would need t...

Re: Composite Screen Blurry
Not going to lie. The quality of the composite screens by default isn't that great.
Download a new theme. The one I always used was gbz35 by rxbrad. It's optimized for these little 3.5" screens.
To get new themes:
RetroPie Setup Script >> Configuration / Tools >> esthemes

Re: New Build won't detect any gamepad
Just to confirm, on the other side of the DPI board there should be two solder points for the data pads on the pi. I assume those are soldered?

Re: Can't install adafruit retrogame
Sound won't work at all, for the setup I soldered a volume wheel and a speaker following this Tinkerboy guide. Ah. So it's just PWM audio. Make sure you have the PWM pins soldered to the proper pins on the pi. And add this line to the bottom of the /boot/config.txt file: dtoverlay=pwm-2chan,pin=18,...

Re: Can't install adafruit retrogame
I already closed the case and I'm making some tests. Games get this error when launched, some starts some doesn't. And sound doesn't work, I tried pressing select for 15 seconds and typing cat/ proc/asound/modules on the console as I saw on a tutorial but I get "cat: /proc/asound/modules: No such f...

Re: Can't install adafruit retrogame
That was the problem, thank you! Now I'm very close to finish it but my battery doesn't have a connector, just the two wires and I was wondering if I could just desolder the connector of the powerboost and solder de battery directly to the board somehow. You don't even need to desolder the battery ...

Re: Can't install adafruit retrogame
Only difference between a pi zero and pi zero w is the wireless functionality. After reading your post more clearly, you have a usb to ethernet dongle correct? (I misread and thought a wifi dongle, sorry!). If that's the case you still won't be able to have the etheret adapter and keyboard working a...

Re: Can't install adafruit retrogame
the Pi zero only has one USB connection. You can't use a ethernet dongle and the keyboard at the same time. Even though you soldered a new USB plug, that is essentially just a copy of the micro usb on board. so plugging in a keyboard and the ethernet adapter will cause issues. Check here on how to s...

Re: Game Boy Zero won't turn on
Do you have a a pi zero or pi zero W?
If you have a W you should be able to connect to your network, with the use of the keyboard.
With a plain zero you'll need a usb to Ethernet adapter or a usb wifi dongle.
Also note. To connect via putty you need to enable SSH as well.
