How to configure Recalbox 6.0 Dragonblaze for Waveshare GameHat

@michael-lajoie

Thanks for the settings, unfortunately, they're not helping me with my issue.
Do you also have the flickering/tearing in some games?

@diehardman Hi, my apologize for the delay... I’ve recently broke down the screen of my waveshare . But before I never had this screen problem. It’s very strange.

Thanks for the detailed params !
Just bought a discounted Waveshare GameHat for an unused pi3b+.

I also updated the wiki (https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Configuration-for-Waveshare-GameHat-(EN)) with these precious informations.

Hello, I just updated my gamehat with the 6.1, and the control are not correct, I can't use the select button, when I try to map it, then it go back the previous line (in the pad mapping utility)

Hi @cissou!

I'm having the same problem as you; I can't map the "Select" button (when I click it, goes like a page up) and, when I started the controller configuration wizard (holding a button when Emulationstation starts), I noticed that my Recalbox is recognizing 2 controllers, not one.

How did you fix it? I didn't saw the solution in the link you passed. Just to isolate the problem, I tested with the Waveshare image (Retropie pre-configured - working ok, out-of-the-box) and the latest Retropie image (installed the drivers, everything working too).

Best regards.

please update on recalbox 6.1.1

Hello @acris!

Thanks for the reply! Just updated and it's working fine now, with the settings in this thread. It's recognizing just 1 controller and the "Select" button is working fine too. The only additional step that I needed to do was reconfigure the gamepad, because the hotkey wasn't working.

Other thing, but I think it's GameHAT related it's the color depth. I think it's running in 16 bit; anyway, for gaming it's fine.

Besides that, everything is perfect. Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Hey. I’m trying to setup my game hat. But it has a raspberry pi3 A+. Would this still work

Check that the diagram of the gpio is identical to the rpi3 b + and adapts according to your model.
The tutorial is still valid
