Re: Display has just black screen

How do I find out how I wired my display board must ensure that it runs with 5V? Is there for this a trick or maybe someone has already a solution for me;)? I think the quickest solution you're going to get, is to read/skim through this thread: http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15 Se...

BW screen Sister board

To my dismay, my kids managed to get into all my junk and lost the sister board to my screen. This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/BW-3-5-Inch-Monit ... ailpages00 I've been trying to recreate one with a printed circuit board and some tact switches, but nothing is really working.

Re: Vanilla Raspbian vs. RetroPi

I was only wondering. I was thinking about trying to load movies onto a memory card and run it. I'm not to sure how much stress it would put on the pi0. My wife and I are about to make a road trip down to Florida. I figured it would be something nice for her, besides playing retro games. I know she'...

Vanilla Raspbian vs. RetroPi

I'm curious as to what OS everyone is using. Are you using Vanilla Raspbian, or are you using RetroPi? What are the pros and cons of both systems?

Re: Power status LED

I've been toying with the idea of having one or more externally visible LEDs to indicate power status (on, charging, charged, low battery). It seems that a low battery LED would be easiest to add, as the powerboost 1000c provides a breakout point for this (labelled as "LBO"). After a bit of researc...

Re: Power status LED

Here's what I'm doing. Rather than soldering more LEDs, I bought some 0.75mm end-to-end fiber optic. It works pretty well! I started a thread a while back. I'll update it with my progress. http://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=175 I read this thread a little while ago. The only thing I was t...

Re: Power status LED

I was going to tackle this after I complete my first build. But instead of using a common rounded RGB LED, I was going to use a 0603 SMT RGB LED. They are what I had used previously to mod PSP's. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CUGA2UY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1464662097&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=06...

Re: Tackling Graceful Shutdowns on the GBZ

A little off topic, but with this way of shutting down, with an electronic switch. Is there a way to be able to have a "spring loaded" switch that you could flick it over and make the GBZ go into a sleep mode or stand by, instead of fully turning off? Kind of like a GameBoy SP.

Re: Programming Teensy Error

[quote="DirtyBullets"]have you selected the correct board?

Dang it.... I thought I had tried that last night. But it worked today. There are those times when you're so tired, that you should just go to bed... But you don't, and this happens... Thanks for your response!

Programming Teensy Error

I'm sitting here trying to program my teensy, but I can't because I keep getting this error. Has anyone else came across this problem?
