      le for the joystick would be better ? It seems to stick out a little too much compare to the size of the bartop

      Yes. Certainly ! 🙂
      I ´ve mentioned that the shaft will be replaced by a shorter one. This one was used just because it´s the only one i had at the time i´ve built it. 🙂 It´s 7cm long, but i don´t have all this space inside the case, so, i rebuild all the internal parts of the original sanwa with 3D Print, to reduce the size, and leverage the shaft by 1cm (this red ring on it´s base)... Using a shorter shaft, like 6cm i will be able to remove that red ring, so the shaft will be lower. 🙂
      But anyway, it´s working perfectly and not getting in the way of the screen. So it works for now. 🙂

          Hello

          good projet 😄 , screen too small for me,
          recalbox 4.1 https://archive.recalbox.com/updates/v1.0/unstable/

          Thx Acris !
          I am waiting for the stable one. But but maybe i will test the unstable for curiosity sake. lol.

          I agree that  the screen is not for everyone. But it´s a design/cost option. It´s very hard to find bigger screens, not SO big to have to change the entire design/power scheme, that has composite input and it´s cheap. That screen i am using is around $25... And i live in Brazil, so it´s not easy to get anything i want to + the import taxes can be like 100% the price + shipping... So, the decition has a lot of constraints. But it´s a nice screen for it´s price, and it´s bigger than my dingoo a320 screen. If i am able to find a good Cost Vs enefit on a 5 inch screen that would be perfect. And as it´s a 3D printed case designed by me it´s just a matter of modifying the 3D model and printing the top part again. 
          
          
           BTW...Any clue about my Composite/HDMI question ? Is it possible to auto-switch to hdmi output when a HDMI cable is present ? (Even if i need to reboot it) ? 
           BTW 2 : I don´t know why my posts here are being showed on a black box... :(

            More Pics ! 🙂 BTW this project is not 100% finished on it´s design. It´s the Prototype #6 (6 case printed until now). So there´s some minor updates/differences between some pics. 🙂
            This is the prototype #6 :

            Some shots of the new Back with removable plate, so, i can use any different board, and have a more futureproof design. I just need to reprint the red plate to fit a new configuration for the board ports. 🙂

              Hello @Marcelo-Souza

              I have the same problem to buy products.

              for your question hdmi :

              try these :

              mount -o remount,rw /boot
              edit this filenano /boot/config.txt
              add this line : hdmi_force_hotplug=1

              when you start without hdmi cable, normally it's ok
              et when you plug hdmi cable, normally it's boot to TV screen

                    I am back to this posts. Just to post a possible "solution" for my obvious question... A way to Auto-Switch between HDMI<>AV... It seems that this guy made a script that Detects the hdmi plug and switch the config settings...

                    Hope it works ...

                    https://github.com/superjamie/lazyweb/wiki/Raspberry-Pi-Display-Auto-Switching

                    @acris Hey.

                    I´ve changed the lines with hdmi_Force_hotplug=1 and then it worked, the recabox and games apearead over hdmi (video and audio) but now , even after unplugin the hdmi and turning off and on the system again, it´s sticked with hdmi output... The monitor i am using only turns on if some signal enters over the composite in... so it seems that pi isn´t sending composite signal anymore after i unplugged the hdmi cable. I will reverse the config edition to check...

                        Finally reach the beta stage with my project. 🙂 Hope you guys like it.
                        Now i need to build a custom theme, since the latest recalbox has "SMALL SCREEN" themes, but the gamelist font stills VERY tiny... Unreadable. 😞

                          You can edit the themes and increase the font size very easy.
                          By the way, I also find it very nice, and having some 4.1" compo spare screens, I think about it.

                                how are the buttons ? I've always wondered of those kind of mini buttons were and felt as good as the standard ones

                                  @voljega if it is small "service buttons"... they are very hard; and it is difficult to play with.
