@iconrumble Thank you. No problems at all once I accessed and then modified the file from samba. File didn't revert back upon a reboot and the game list in Retropie is centered again.

Will need read up on how to scrape screenshots for the arcade emulators when I have some more free time.

Ah cool. Will check it out, thanks.

@jsawhite thank you man thas exactly what i was looking for lol

@Cole_48

absolutely. you could do a search, there are many like it from many manufacturers, varying prices, you can't go wrong with any. they all do the same thing, breaking out the gpio pins so you can hook up a breadboard for experimenting.

@BuZz Yes thats it. Some of the dependencies of the armv7 kodi are pulled from the main repo, so you need the 2 for armv7. I just saw the update, I think it is good now.

Doing the regular update (as opposed to just apt-get) did indeed fix the issue. My bad.

If you want to learn more markdown, there are probably some good guides available online with the syntax. I only really know enough to get by. For the code you can either start each line with four spaces or you can use three backticks(`) to start and end the block.

You can use jstest /dev/input/js0 or js1, js2 etc... to determine the value of the middle button. Then you can type it into your retroarch-joypads config file.

@mauruco said in pi3-disable-bt apparently not disabling onboard BT?:

I tested all this: http://linuxg.net/how-to-disable-bluetooth-at-startup-5-practical-methods/

Only "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt" has worked.

I do not know how to help you. Maybe reinstall retropie be your best option.

It is really strange! You can test some overclocked setings and to check if it works with:

sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq

So at least you know if the config.txt is working.

Yea, thats my next step actually. I need to confirm that the config.txt is being used.

I'll change some of the OC settings, verify function, prob will just end up reinstalling

@wetriner Thank you sir, I will give this a try when I get home this evening.

Thanks to everyone for the help! I replaced the hdd with a new WD ultra and it works fine! now i can finally move on to the next step.

Great, thanks!

No links or adverts on my blog site, it's completely clean. Project should be complete next week, I shall reveal all :D

Never mind, I got it hooked up correctly, and now it outputs the proper 5v, so all is well!

I'm not sure which country you're in, but could this issue be due to running US roms (which run at 60hz) when you're used to using a 50hz UK system?

@GrethTom Ok, works! I didn't tried to swap joysticks ports, thank you

Hi, thanks for reply.

Yes i did a mistake an bought wrong screen, i dont know what happen, usually im checking out very carefully before ordering, but this time i screwed it up.
But i hoped there would be a possibility to connect this to a Pi.
But i can see now that it can be difficult to find out the correct wiring.

Guess i have to buy another one for my Gameboy pocket retropie project.

The question is, are there anyone who have any good exprience with a 2.4 - 2.8 gpio tft screen for gaming with retropie?
