@retznutz I'm very interested in this! I have likewise wanted to make a cabinet version of intellivision controls. I thought about something like the stream deck (video buttons).

I was thinking of larger controls that fit the hands rather than the thumbs; one hand for the disc (3.5" disc?) and one hand for the buttons. How about the 5" screen, vertical, with the overlay 150% larger (four fingers across)? I had in mind the side buttons could be real buttons.

Staying tuned on this!

@Doriyaki This is not an orange Pi support forum. This forum is for Retropie on a raspberry pi.

@mitu Actually I've been trying to get that working. I also have a RPI 2 (?) or something, which I've installed Raspberry Pi OS on. If I put that card into my RPI 2 I can ssh in and I still couldn't get the screen working.

If I put the same SD card (AFAIK the image you install is the same? I use Raspberry Pi Imager) in my RPI 4B I can't SSH in because the standard password somehow isn't 'raspberry'? I even reinstalled. Either way I can't get anything to show up on the screen with either of the pi's. I think it's DOA, but the company I got it from is not responding to me anymore.

@Bluebotlabs I know what your original post was asking. If you want mouse support right NOW, you can use the pegasus frontend as an alternative. It uses emulationstation's scraped art/gamelist info except for logos/marquees.

Yes I have a pi 4. I did manage to make some changes to the settings it was a challenge lol. I can change the internal Drastic views on a horizontal screen. But I want the whole screen rotated 90 degrees(vertical) so when I stack the screen top/bottom it uses up most of the viewing area. Here's what I would like to achieve on Drastic. This is what my lr-desmume looks like.

Thanx!

@mitu

Thank you SOOOO much. You're amazing! :-D
