      I have a Pi 3 with proper power supply and I'm able to play games just fine but each time I power on, I have to unplug and plug back in the USB from the Cthulhu PCB. I have seen this issue in a couple other posts but no resolution. When I unplug/plug in the PCB, attract mode recognizes my config so I don't have to re-do that each time. For now I bought 6 inch USB extensions to lessen the mileage on the USB ports themselves.

      Theses MC Cthulhu boards do not work reliably on USB connections, i.e. PC or PS3. I think its not enumerating fast enough for the USB aspect to be recognized, i.e. its getting beyond the USB auto-detect faster than the PC can handshake with it. It has been tested working fine on some PSX, Dreamcast, and Gamecube consoles. It has been reported that you can force it into USB Bootloader mode by holding HOME while plugging it in making updates over USB possible. Weird right?

      Here is a forum post on SRK with some suggestions, all of which I'm too much of a noob to implement without some further instruction.

      Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
