It takes 2 controllers. You have to use the player 2 controller to start it.

This issue is fixed now. It started working in all emulators other than nes for me recently, not sure which update. I swapped nes emulator to nestopia and player 2 select and start works in there now as well.

[rdhanded2]

I am having the same issue.

[rdhanded2]

Bump in case anyone has any ideas.

[rdhanded2]

No problem

On the kodi forum there is a thread titled “Selling loaded XBMC/KODI boxes legal?” A kodi team member stated

“It’s a violation of our trademark. Unfortunately, it’s pretty difficult to enforce our trademark on eBay, as we somewhat have to rely on the kindness of whichever representative gets out takedown request. And it’s also pretty difficult to enforce the trademark outside the U.S.”

[rdhanded2]

might be worth writing to people behind kodi/xbmc also and letting them know.

[rdhanded2]

I would use an ipac or something similar.

It says no roms but they are still selling retropie/kodi/etc. Does not seem like something that would be good for the community.

Question 3

I use the following splash screen script

sudo nano /etc/init.d/asplashscreen

then erase what is there and add:

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: asplashscreen
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Start:
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Show custom splashscreen
# Description: Show custom splashscreen
### END INIT INFO

do_start () {

/usr/bin/fbi -T 1 -noverbose -a /home/pi/Splash/Splash.png
exit 0
}

case “$1″ in
start|””)
do_start
;;
restart|reload|force-reload)
echo “Error: argument ‘$1’ not supported” >&2
exit 3
;;
stop)
# No-op
;;
status)
exit 0
;;
*)
echo “Usage: asplashscreen [start|stop]” >&2
exit 3
;;
esac

:

This removes all code that runs when booting and selecting/exiting games. the only draw back is if you f4 out of emulation station you can not see the script unless you putty in. I work around this by keeping the original script saved on my pc as a text doc and I replace it when I need to mess around with code. Then when I am done I just replace that with the above script again. Also, this script allows me to add a splash folder at home/pi/Splash/ and add whatever splash pic I want to there. Then just name it Splash.png.

You will also need to edit your /boot/cmdline.txt file:
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
Add quiet to the end of the line. It will look something like this:

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait quiet

Make sure that is all on one line.

While you are there, if you want to remove the raspberry pi image that shows when you start your pi just add
logo.nologo

to the line as well so it will look like:
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait logo.nologo quiet

Here is how I wired the LED separate from the switch wires and just cut the white wire. It is the ground but I wanted to have separate ones ran off the led legs that I could attach to my pi.

Question 6

Here is how I wired my circuit. I did not use the white wire at all. it is the led ground wire if I remember right but there is no power wire you can use so I added my own wires directly from the LED to make it simpler and cleaner.

[rdhanded2]

Ya, it is weird. Hopefully someone smarter than me comes along. lol

[rdhanded2]

I used the above video and had no issues. Maybe watch it and see if it can help.

[rdhanded2]

That is awesome!

[rdhanded2]

Awesome

[rdhanded2]

Any updates? Looks like an awesome build so far.

[rdhanded2]

Thanks for this! Looking forward to your Atari Lynx one as well.
