I'm using a cheap Amazon basics 4 port hub on the Pi Zero. Its not a powered hub and I've a joystick(ms sidewinder), keyboard/mouse combo and edimax wifi dongle hooked up and all working on RetroPie. So far all is working fine and I used the wifi a lot while setting up RetroPie as well as the Keyboa...

Retroman

I really do love the Pibow. Such a clean design and it really should be made the official case of the Raspberry Pi. Perhaps make it available in Black and clear as well as the multi coloured option for those who don't like bright colours or want a more boring corporate look :) Is there any chance of...

Retroman

Retroman asked: How many buttons could you hook up to the GPIO? There are 8 GPIO pins, so If you want simply one button connected to one input, you could therefore without extra hardware sense only eight buttons or switches. Perfect. Post youtube vid of gameboy emulator with all buttons hooked up n...

Looking good, though! Like I said before - when you're absolutely done, drop me an email (just in case I'm having one of my forum-lite weeks - it happens sometimes when I'm at conferences, and we have a lot of those coming up). Thanks Liz, I'll drop you a mail when I've finished it. Which might be ...

Did some modding and other work on the RasPiBoy this evening and I must say I'm very happy with how its coming along. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4089/dsc1719b.jpg http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/3567/dsc1723b.jpg Full res pics(large): http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/594/dsc1719r.jpg ht...

Have you had much success with your USB wireless card, drivers easy to find etc?

I compiled my own driver for it. It's a bit rough at the moment but has basic functionality.

Slight update on this mod. I've not had much time to put into it as of late unfortunately. I managed to get all the electronics (except the screen as I've not cut a hole for it yet as It's not the final screen I'll be using) more or less inside the Game Boy. It's a bit of an ugly setup at the moment...

Retroman

The above older pictures look a bit weird since the new forum. Hope these new ones look a bit better. So I eventually got around to starting the physical part of this mod. It's a bit rough at the moment but it is a work in progress and I have a clear plan now as to what I need to do. The plan now is...

Retroman

I'm using this case while I sort out my Game Boy case mod. It's a very nice little case this.

Retroman

<t>So I got that case anyway. Few small issues that the seller is sorting out for me(broken corner, probably in transit etc). Anyway, I wont do a review of it until I have all the functioning parts but so far it seems decent. Perhaps a few tweaks to the design would improve it but the per...

<t>I'm building my own case(out of a Game Boy as some of you might have seen). I'm also designing a few different types for my 3D printer(Makerbot Replicator). I did purchase the above case from ebay last night anyway as it looks nice and its no harm to have a few different types. I'll ta...

Retroman

<t>Just a quick post to confirm that I'm using the below SanDisk Extreme 30MB/s Class 10 8GB SD card and it works great on my Rasp Pi. I've using the latest Debian image from the other day and it works perfectly on it as did the last version,as does Arch. I was using a very old and slow S...

Retroman

<t>So I roughly molded some Sugru on the Pi last night to protect the pins as well as raise the board up slightly from whatever its sitting on. As I've said before Sugru is non conductive. The Sugru on the pins was molded on last night and then taken off to let it cure as if I had left it...

Retroman

<t>I still think a bit of Sugru is perfect for this. It's not the cheapest stuff but you'd only need a tiny amount of it to cover the pins. I've tried to make up a cheap home made Sugru following some guides on Lifehacker but its nowhere near as good or long lasting as the real deal. ...

Retroman

<t>Mold some Sugru over the pins while the device is powered off and make it so it covers all the pins and then remove it and let it cure overnight. If you've done it correctly you should have a nice tight cover when its cured that you can pop on when needed and take off when not. <b...

Retroman

Yeah, I'll grab one and test it.

Retroman

What about hacking something like this to the Game Boy controls?

It's very small and I could certainly fit it in the case if it worked.

<t>The small wireless n card and 16GB USB drive that's going inside the Game Boy arrived today. Just as small as they looked on the site and wont take up much room inside the case(These will be on a mini powered USB hub I have that needs to be somehow mounted inside the case). ...
