DynamicMarquee with Pi5 and a zero
-
I bought a Pi5 and a uws display at the same time. To my chagrin I found the DynamicMarquee2 did not work under bookworm.
Without waiting for new applications to be developed with the ability to throw an image out the hdmi port I wrote a script to just have another raspberrypi display the image via wifi. That way I didn't need to fish a long cable from top to bottom of my arcade cab. I use 0 clock cycles to keep the display running while playing a game, and eventually could add video marquees with no cpu load while playing as well. Figure this should work for those still running a pi3 that want a dynamic marquee.
The script and setup instructions can be found on github

Hey, nice project - looks cool ! Is that Attract-Mode running ?
-
@mitu thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
Yes that's attract mode running my marquee plugin. I've done a little to code for emulationstattion as well, but that side is still very clunky at best.

Now running from emulationstattion.
