General
Can I add a joystick to the mintyPi
Short answer: No. There is simply not enough room and the connections needed aren't available. Besides, none of the systems the mintyPi can run requires a joystick.
How do I add ROMs?
What systems can the mintyPi play?
The following spreadsheet is community driven and may not be 100% accurate. But you are looking at column D: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13lwgJTFvrkM0ER_FcXZ-32NxvpFzTGXnzn8jFDTmHas/
Where can I find ROMs?
Google. No one on here, the forums, or Discord will tell you where to find them. You need to find them yourself. Really not hard.
Why can my mintyPi not connect to my WiFi?
- Make sure you are using the RaspberryPi Zero W and not the RaspberryPi Zero v1.3. The W is the wireless variant that has WiFi and Bluetooth.
- Make sure you are using a 2.4 GHz network and not a 5GHz network. The RPi Zero W does not have a 5GHz antenna.
mintyPi Lite Specific
mintyPi Lite specific items will go here when they arrise.
mintyPi V3 Specific
Will the mintyPi v3 ever be back in stock?
Short answer: Probably.
The screens that were being used are no longer able to be sourced for a decent price. In order to keep using the same screen, the price of the kit would have to be raised and no one wants that.
As of 6/1/2020, Helder is testing new screen that is slightly smaller and if things work out, he will make an announcement as to when the V3 will be available again. Keep an eye on his Instagram for updates.
