@steveb83 will try it out thanks

@Substring Ah I see was hoping to implement something like this to Recalbox.

@idarius
Thanks I've been searching for a while now and nothing. Only shows up on Retropie , he mixed up some python to read along with Retropie install when running the system.
Hope something comes for the RecalBox soon.

Anyone know if Recalbox is configured to work with any nfc reader to implement into it.
Meaning purchasing a small nfc reader an exact one doesn't come to mind but small enough to fit inside a small enclosure. Having that be able to call a game via nfc?
I know DaftMike made one but he's been quiet lately not to blame as probably his parts haven't come in from China. I'd much rather stick to Recalbox as I'm not crazy about using Retropie at all.

@ian57

Nice sounds great! Thanks

Sorry for the late replay haven't seen this post in some time. I was looking to use a small 3 inch screen that Ada fruit uses they teach on how to install for Retropie but Im not a fan of retropie too much I like recalbox better and was looking for a way to install a 5 inch screen as well from Adafruit.

@ian57

Can't I use this and have it wired up to the Rasberry pi 3 and have GPIO wires connected to the GPIO of the pi3?

@ian57

Thanks this is awesome!!

@lackyluuk

Close but I'm looking for help with having Analog joystick, or like this. Some way of getting this joy stick to interact with the Rasbery pii 3.

Anyone know of a good tutorial to add Analog joysticks and small 16 mm and 12 mm buttons pretty much like a StreetFighter ll cabinet. I would also like to add a 5 inch hdmi powered screen for it as well. I've searched and it either requires Arduino or some odd set up and needs a breadboard. I'm looking for a cleaner soloution and more plug and play.

My 3D Printed Prototype mini arcade machine, would like to eventually make the enclosure out of wood have it painted and get it set up with Vinyl Stickers but first the innerworkings. Man it runs as expected love it!

Has anyone had any experience with this screen and work with Recalbox?

Odd but the project is looking awesome was thinking of purchasing some speakers on amazon and taking them apart and just screwing them to the walls of the bartop arcade wondering if it's more trouble then it's worth? Maybe I'll just hot glue some velcro to the bottom base and the base of the speakers and just put it there and call it a day. It's really just for me and to learn the methods of basic bartop creation.

@tuxfamily
Ahhh thanks man no problem about the late reply at least you replied which is good enough for me
By the way thanks for the info really helps!

@Substring

It seems to use Love Free 2d Game engine that runs on Lua.

Here are my findings \ Recalbox\Share\Roms\lutro.

RECALBOX - SYSTEM LUTRO

Put your lua games in this directory.

Games files must have a ".lua" extension.

You can download lua demo games on

Currently working on my own version of a BartopArcade made it alot smaller and more compact. I have a 3d Printer so setting the base parts with 3d printing then will take those parts and make a template for future builds out of basic plywood

@Substring Thanks I looked inside the RecalBox directories and saw a new folder after the 4.0 update looked interesting it had a readme.text and pointed to a site it was very experimental and had a demo or two. I'll look for it again not near my Game machine I'll post up some info if i find it.

Has anyone tried to have a game developed to run natively on Recalbox?
I saw a folder for Lua and wondering if anyone has developed any games using this to run a functional game?
