GPi Zero 2 v1.52 & GPi Zero v1.15(Retropie Images for Pi Zero/Zero2 + GPi Case 1 & GPi Case 2W)

@Sliver-X Works fine with recalbox.
Maybe a hardware revision? -
What does it say on your PCB as shown in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/277933 ?
-
@Sliver-X it says V11D

I didn't plan on taking this long but I should be releasing something soon. The control reset function is working 100% as expected and I've also managed to get Kodi working decently on it:
The theme I made changes depending on which of the four ES themes I made is active to match it. Kodi is also launched via a script that looks at whether ES was configured in Hat or Axis mode and will ensure the dpad mappings work with either.
I need to do some minimal testing for edge cases, but should have something ready by next week?
-
@Sliver-X good work for using the Melvins as the example. Absolutely fantastic band
-
Testing hasn't turned up any problems so I've put together a release: The original post has been updated.
I may try to make some kind of incremental upgrade patch from 1.5 to 1.51 but a lot of what changed will make that difficult.
This should be the last release I ever do, but if you find something wrong, please let me know.
-
@Sliver-X Thank you for this last update to v1.51, it is highly appreciated!
-
You're welcome, I'm glad you're finding it useful.
I've been working on a console variant of this setup over the course of this year as well: I may release that if anyone would actually want to use it.

Could you explain what this console variant does?

I built it off the work I did on the GPi Case image, so it does everything it does but is geared towards running through a TV with gamepads of some sort connected.
Since it's not intended to run off batteries I was able to get a stable 1.3GHz overclock working and added to the OC script I wrote, and I was able to get lr-mupen64plus to run a good percentage of N64 games acceptably with that in addition to tweaking its Retroarch config really heavily... It also has some extra WiFi radio drivers compiled and installed since I use an external dongle to compensate for the anemic onboard WiFi that's built into the Zero 2 W.
I also created a new pair of EmulationStation/Kodi themes that aren't constrained by the 320x240 LCD the GPi Case imposes.
-
@Sliver-X Thanks for the explanation. Personally, I don't think I would use it on my TV. I played around with some Retropie images on a Pi3 connected to my TV but somehow I prefer the experience on the GPi case.

I have a question i recently buy a lcl pi boy with rasperry pi 3a+.
My question can i boot this image on pi 3a+ ? The main diference is the screen .
What i need to do to use this image on pi 3a+ ?
I want to use themes and some scripts from this image. -
This post is deleted! -
I've added support for the new GPi Case 2W and also took the basis of what I did for my Zero 2 image and cut it down for original Pi Zero 1 boards.
-
@Sliver-X just a quick thank you; bought Case2W and installed my old piZero (no wireless) and it is a dream. Great work - jzedward

You're welcome. It was a lot of work to get everything running to a level of performance I was happy with on a Pi Zero, but the end result turned out pretty well, I think, considering the hardware limitations.

I have a question i recently buy a lcl pi boy with rasperry pi 3a+, i have using ver 1.4 ( with support rasperry 3a+) and run fast but i have some restarts using retropie.
My question is what i need to do to have the rasperry 3 headers on ver 1.5 for i test and use this this image ?Also another question , how can put the standart rasperry pi 3a + clocks speeds in 1.5 image ? What i need to edit ?
Thanks for all your work.

@joao76
It's not made for a Pi 3 of any model, or any case aside from a GPi Case or GPi Case 2W. -
@Sliver-X Thanks for your help but the problem is sorted out.
-
@Sliver-X , this build is awesome! Thanks so much!
One curiosity, could you share how to remove or edit the initrd splash screen?
I wasn't aware of this capability and want to learn and maybe create my own. Thanks!
