There is a line that needs to be uncommented to enable overscan. Right above the left, right, top, bottom.

And you have to reboot after each change to see the difference.

Re: problems with samsung s2 battery connected with pogo pins

It seems my pogo pins may be the issue? When I connect the wires direct to the battery it works?
Don't really want to solder direct to this battery but think its my only option..

Re: problems with samsung s2 battery connected with pogo pins

Do you have a multimeter? test the 4 copper pads on the battery and find which ones actually give the proper voltage. Maybe it is not the middle pins that you need to connect. I've used that battery before But I cannot recall the exact pads used. But i feel like there was a gap between the positive...

Re: Please show me your L/R buttons

my interpretation of bottom buttons pi2.jpg pi6.jpg pi3.jpg pi4.jpg pi5.jpg I thought of doing something similar a while back, but never even tried, now I've seen it done I think it looks great, I think I might try at some point but with the same colour buttons, just so it doesn't look like buttons...

Re: Gameboy Pocket, SPI screen - WIP

Just try out the middle and one of the end pins, those are the same switches used on my 3D printer for end stops, and they have the middle pin and the pin near the hinge wired up only. Try that out.
