      you can get a 8gb pi 4 for 139 bucks from Umart which isn't bad.

      it was 10 bucks more than what jaycar was charging for a 4gb pi 4 lol.

  • kungfuman on 29/05/2024 - 15:12

    If I do a clean image of retropie I am assuming it clears all previous pin assignments on the GPIO from the last image? I downloaded a full complete image from the web so I don't actually know what kinds of mods and scripts are on it.

    • eggaz on 29/05/2024 - 19:49

      I ended up with a few of these, but were all packed in a brown shipping box unopened. Hope my experience is nowhere near your experelience. I'm planning to open one tonight.

      • kungfuman on 29/05/2024 - 22:46

        So for me have the pi fired and do image from scratch that way no issues with pin assignments on GPIO the pre made images that u download tend to mess things up lol.

    • kungfuman on 29/05/2024 - 21:01

      the adapters comes with it. so you obviously didn't read the posts your suppose to get the adapters with it. the new ones are all sealed in box.

  • kungfuman on 29/05/2024 - 19:50

    omg it works with the pi 4 all buttons work yay!! so good!!

    • kungfuman on 29/05/2024 - 21:55

      o wow I wonder what Davious said lol 3 banned comments.

  • Yummy on 30/05/2024 - 12:34

    Got their email, I am gonna get refunded instead. Looks like I have to miss this sale unless I can get all 3 for $144 again.

    • kungfuman on 30/05/2024 - 13:07

      just go in store. they have there still for 64 bucks.

      • Yummy on 30/05/2024 - 14:31

        Im greedy I want them at $48 a pop lol.

        • kungfuman on 30/05/2024 - 15:59

          I am already seeing people selling these on ebay for double the price 120 bucks a pop

          • Yummy on 30/05/2024 - 17:17

            @kungfuman: Sheesh they are greedier than me. I just want to gift these to my friends. :(

    • beefsandwich on 30/05/2024 - 16:39

      Same. Might go have a look in store.

    For people want to use Pi 5 but aware of the GPIO controller won't work (GPIONext doesn't support Pi5 yet).

    Here is an alternative solution I have already tried: you can buy this USB joystick board for $26.95: https://www.jaycar.com.au/usb-interface-for-joystick-and-but… (I didn't buy this one from jarcar directly but I have a same board). RetroPie supports it out-of-box without driver required.

    Of course, if you can wait, it is much cheaper from aliexpress (e.g. this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006728674973.html for only $1.52 + shipping)

    I will later extend my existing post with more details on wiring etc: https://windix.notion.site/RetroPie-with-Jaycar-10inch-Retro…

        Looked at my purchase history, I got a pair from taobao (the China domestic version of aliexpress) for RMB 53… so about $6 each.

    • 191919 on 30/05/2024 - 23:51

      wonder if you could solder another channel on there and have stereo sound?

        p.s. hey @windix have you tried replacing joystick/buttons? finding the stock stuff + gpionext is a bit shady for fighting games
        i will replace the joystick and buttons with proper sanwa stuff over the weekend, think im going to try the usb board from aliexpress to see if that's the issue as well and also make everything a bit more platform agnostic - will let you know!

        • windix on 31/05/2024 - 16:53
          +1

          I bought some replacements (those genuine Sanwa brand ones too!) but I won’t receive them until 2 months time. So would be good to know your journey :)

    • centrelink on 01/06/2024 - 09:20

      Wen instructions how to wire?

      • Gehirn on 01/06/2024 - 10:37

        Just google "how to wire arcade buttons".

      As promoised, the Pi 5 guide is here: https://windix.notion.site/Pi-5-Setup-with-Zero-Delay-USB-Jo…

      • kungfuman on 01/06/2024 - 15:02

        o wow, so what did you do to solve the power issue?

        • windix on 01/06/2024 - 19:16

          Just use a separate USB-C plug (I used a 30w Anko) :)
          It works for me couple times using the built-in one in the beginning but no more luck later

        thanks, this is really useful, have rewired mine with sanwa buttons and the usb board you recommended. it's much better than the gpio solution.

        hey, is there a trick to the screws/washers they use to attach the case? they're driving me crazy…

        • windix on 06/06/2024 - 19:23
          +1

          no good solutions :( But at least I found to only unscrew the 3 on joypad surface are enough. don't need to touch others

          I was thinking about maybe use glue stick gun to stop the nuts from rotating, but didn't end up trying.

          • 191919 on 06/06/2024 - 20:11

            @windix: bummer. what a pain! i'll let you know if i find out any interesting tricks. thanks for the useful website i have referred to it a few times!

    • hazzad on 06/07/2024 - 20:45

      I purchased this board off Ali. Is there any guide to installing? Does it replace a board in the unit?

      • AmperSand on 09/07/2024 - 15:25

        Just unplug the buttons/joystick from the GPIO harness and replug your buttons/joystick into the board then plug the board into the pi via USB

    I just bought a second one and the USB adaptor and have set it up to a PC at work so my Yr9 students can use it to play games they've made.

    • HandsomeMonkey on 03/06/2024 - 18:41

      What USB adapter are you using? Does it convert the gpio to USB? Does it work with Windows 11?

  • hazzad on 03/06/2024 - 20:54

    Has anyone tried using a batocera pi image on this?

    • denserham on 05/06/2024 - 21:50

      yeah I would also like to know, setting up from scratch it alot of work.

      • hazzad on 06/06/2024 - 14:32

        Yeah my exact thoughts. Ive downlaoded a few images to try and see if any works.

        • denserham on 06/06/2024 - 15:03

          Let me know if you have any success

  • dickbeaver on 06/06/2024 - 13:13

    Does the backlight brightness control work for anyone? Mine isn't working, I'd like to know if it's working for others before I start fault finding.

    • AmperSand on 06/06/2024 - 13:41
      +1

      Nope. Contrast changes stuff, brightness doesn't do a lot.

      The scene changes seem to affect brightness to some degree though.

    Ok so tried popping my pi3b into my unit today and all I get when I power the unit up is a screen with some Chinese characters on it then it turns off. Any ideas?

      sounds like ur pi isnt setup properly haz

      • hazzad on 06/06/2024 - 18:17

        Yep you were right. Previous image clearly didn't burn right. Used pi imager and that is now booting ok. Thanks mate.

        • 191919 on 06/06/2024 - 19:13

          have fun! msg if you get stuck

    • windix on 06/06/2024 - 19:19
      +1

      The Chinese characters are from display menu. You can use the buttons on top to switch to English language.

      • puffinfresh on 07/06/2024 - 00:17

        Not if it doesn't detect an input. It turns off straight away.

      • dickbeaver on 07/06/2024 - 07:00

        @windix thanks, google translate to the rescue. Does your brightness control work?

  • ShaggyMoose on 06/07/2024 - 18:01

    Got one of these set up today. Pretty happy with how it went after messing around with a corrupted RetroPie image for ages… Windix, I can't work out how to set the OSD language from Chinese to English as you seem to be describing above. Little help?

    • ShaggyMoose on 07/07/2024 - 18:59

      I phoned a friend for this one rather than try random settings; for anyone else, its the top item on the OSD page.

  • ShaggyMoose on 06/07/2024 - 22:25

    Also, I used the config from your site linked above to set the resolution. However, the OSD tells me it is actually running at 1366 * 768. The setup menu from RetroPie doesn't show the 1024 * 600 resolution or mode 88 at all…

  • ShaggyMoose on 07/07/2024 - 00:06

    Got this to show up by setting this as HDMI mode 87, but have only worked out how to set it per game rather than as an overall default. Doesn't seem to be working from config.txt. Sure I am missing something…

    • windix on 12/07/2024 - 19:14

      @ShaggyMoose if it doesn't work for you, I suspect your screen is 1366 * 768 (maybe we are on different batch of those second hand screen / driver board).

      Even with wrong resolution, the major difference would just be the text mode I think.

      But if you want to check, the way to tell is search the code on the back of the screen, there is a website to tell the physical resolution of the screen. e.g. in my case model is B101AW03 V0: https://www.panelook.com/B101AW03+V0_AUO_10.1_LCM_overview_3…
