Did you try disconnecting the LBO wire from the Pi and see if it works then? I'd also try with a clean install from Wermy's mintyPi image to make sure the Pi isn't shutting down immediately (which the LBO script I used will do - there are some notes in the Github repo that explain how to disable the...

Made a short video showing the shutdown in action:

Wanted to show off my two mintyPi builds - Peppermint and Spearmint. I had a few challenges along the way but in the end they turned out great and I think I love them more than my GBZ! IMG_0534.jpg IMG_0530.jpg IMG_0467.jpg In one of my builds I decided to use the PowerBoost 500c instead of the micr...

Pretty much the exact wiring I did. Great diagram. I didn't even think about the low battery sensing. Once I open it up to add the speaker I will add that as well. So far it's been working great for me - doesn't have the fancy battery level indicator but in all my tests so far it's properly sensed ...

I just did this in one of mine so that I could get low battery sensing. Here's the wiring I used:

Hm, I'll have to take a look at this when I get home - could be that they are indeed switched in the retroGame configuration but I never noticed because the controls can be mapped to whatever in emulationstation (if that makes sense). If you want to swap them you should be able to do so in /boot/re...

Swapping them in the retrogame config file did the trick. Thanks!!

Hi all - So after finishing two mintyPi builds, during play testing I realized that the L/R buttons are reversed in RetroPie and emulators (for example, hitting R scrolls UP the list of games rather than the expected DOWN). I tried to edit the emulation station configuration file to swap them but it...

While most are obvious, what does Pad1 connect to?

I believe thats more of a convention thing to indicate which pad is #1 (don't think it connects to anything on the controller PCB).

So this is somewhat related but are there any tips for checking if the crystal or other components got damaged after de-soldering? I've got two seemingly dead sound cards that I can't see any visible issue with (none of the pads are ripped off or other bridged connections). The cards show up in the ...
