My L and R buttons

Post by LarsH. » Fri Jul 21, 2017 7:04 am

i staredt my second build a while ago, and i think i found a good solution for the L an R buttons. They come from an cheap SNES replacement controller, the feel great ! I would like to install four, but then the battery would no longer fit :? . I hope this helps someone with his build :D

Very nice - and so clean!!! - build, it's impressive! 8-)

Could you tell us what you used as push-buttons behind the L&R keys? I'm building up my cart on AliE. and I would be interested (for now I chose these because I wasn't sure what to use under the L&R buttons of my cheap-fake-SNES controllers).

Also, I was told somewhere that only the Raspberry* would work with Retropie/Recalbox. Do you mean that we could use NanoPi Neo Plus2 SBCs as well?? :shock: It would be soooo great, because it is so much more powerful than the RPi Zero...!

You could test if Batocera runs on the nano pi, it tuns well on my Up Board :). Lakka and retrorange are alternative to retropi, maybe you find a board wath you like thath runs with this OS.
