ok it all looks to be powered up but the attached keyboard lights up on boot but pi doesnt recognise any keystrokes..

its almost as if there isnt enough power as the lights on keyboard are very dim…

Might need the upgrade kit from x arcade site

sigh….

the store only had a female serial to USB cable. So i tried plugging that cable (without the intermediate cable) straight into xarcade unit and usb into the pi.

No gamepad connected. do i need the intermediate cable ?

btw i also enabled the xarcade service but still no dice..

Im losing my mind! i hate being a noob

finally got my serial to usb cable and about to start.. hope i dont have to remove my previous gamepad that i couldnt get working
