Chedda's #3 gameboy pi build

[onesojourner]

Did you get another Pi 3 ordered?

[Chedda]

I did and I desoldered it yesterday. I'm going to test everything again before starting the videos.

[Chedda]

Everything that I video'd today was out of frame. I guess take it all apart and reshoot. ugh

Hey, thank you for the videos,
Question:

How are you planning to hook the audio up from the Pi3 to the AIO 2? Hooking up the PWM from the Pi Zero is clear to me but I haven't found a clear answer for the Pi3 yet and I don't want ruin my board somehow..

Thanks

Nice build!
Question, I've noted you purchased psp analog joystick.. whats the idea??

Please update until what part we can cut the raspberry 3!!
regards!

I have successfully tested the audio on the Pi3 and Helders AIO 2.2.

PMW0 is the left channel (PP25 on the Pi)
PMW1 is the right channel (PP26 on the Pi)

Nice build!

I did purchase an analog stick but the cheap chinese knockoff fell apart and didn't do well. I am going to source another one in the future. The idea was to place it below the D-pad right next to select. I wanted to get the basics for the how-to together and then do random other videos for all features.

I also decided not to cut the Pi3 for this build. I have the videos made on how to but youtube still has me blocked on uploading. Their support says I should be unblocked by Tuesday.

Stay Tuned!!!

YouTube unblocked. Uploads ready and going tomorrow. These will take you to the basics. Extras will be uploaded soon once I complete them.

I'm glad you're back to your build. I'm really looking forward to see the approach you take. I'm currently attempting to do the same build you using a pi 3 and Helders AIO. I've had some issues with low voltages, however. I believe i just need a new battery. Will you running the stock retropi image or will you be modifying the config file?

I also suffer from low voltage everywhere. My battery holds up pretty well. Went from 4.5 hours for a pi0 build to 3 hours on a pi3 running dreamcast. I will probably under clock the cpu and turn off bluetooth/wifi when not needed. I also noticed that Helders board gets warm when the sound is on.

I need to go through the default emulators and figure out which ones are better for the pi3.

I haven't gotten my sound to work, yet. Maybe you can show me your setup once you are done
Interesting, I hadn't considered turning off the wifi and bluetooth, good idea.
I'm actually looking into getting heat sinks for the atmega and the 2 chips on the pi 3. I'm also looking for a small fan, but i haven't found anything that will fit. Also it might make the voltage drops worse.
