rpdom wrote:You can use a device tree overlay to do this.

Add the following to /boot/config.txt:

Code: Select all

dtoverlay=gpio-poweroff,active_low,gpiopin=23
for example will make GPIO (BCM) 23, physical pin 16, go high early in the boot sequence and then go low when shutdown has completed.
Ah thanks! that did the job.

Every time I try to run the game it just re-downloads the lwjgl archive and overwrites the changes I've made. Could you please elaborate on the hash process so that it doesn't overwrite the fi...

Re: Minecraft 1.9 on rpi with launcher

A semi-related question: I don't suppose Minecraft 1.8.9/1.9 can be run from CLI, somehow? Reason I asked is that it'd be really cool if I can somehow intergrate this into RetroPie/Recallbox, etc. I think the launcher needs a desktop to run so i dont think it will work. This doesn't seem to work I'...

Re: opengl driver no video

Thanks!

But when i boot with the 7" display plugged in it doesnt work.

Why is this?
And is there a way to make it work?
