Finally the cartridge and the 8bitdo controllers!

@DjLeChuck I'll have to move the fan a bit and cut the bottom of the cartridge =(
But I'll do it in future!

@DjLeChuck =D
About the cartridge, are you talking about the NintendoRS made by @lackyluuk ?
I'll try to make a fake cartridge in future. But I may face some problems of space with the fan and the Rapsberry Pi.

@Substring Thanks!

Hello!

After spending a few days, learning many new things, finally my first project is finished!
A SNES mod named "SNES BaPi" powered by a Rapsberry Pi 3 + Recalbox.

I used:

• 1 SNES "baby" case;
• 4 handmade USB extension cables;
• 1 handmade Ethernet extension cable;
• 1 momentary switch from an old PC;
• 1 on/off switch from snes board;
• 1 fan from an old from an old cooling pad;
• 1 Resistor 330 ohms;
• 1 Transistor BC337;
• 4 roofing nails;
• 1 DVD case;
• hot melt glue;
• super glue;
• electrical tape;
• electrical solder.

And here are some pictures:

@leok I think 35 ºC is a "low" temperature for RPi. Here, with one fan running all the time, it keeps arround 48 ºC.

[SOLVED] Bought some transistors and resistors and learned how to use it.
Thank you!

@lackyluuk When I plug the fan (5v) a pin 8 (3,3v) it doesn't turn on. I was expecting it to work with less speed but it doesn't.

@lackyluuk I was hoping there is a way with no need of using a transistor.
But I'll learn how to use a transistor and then te project Will be 100%. Thank you!

Hello!

I installed the on/off button and the reset button following the instructions:
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN)

I also installed a 5v Fan GPIO pin 2 (5v) + pin 9 (gnd).

My problem is, the fan works all the time, even in "OFF" mode.

I read that pin 8 provides 3.3v and go down in "OFF" mode. But change pin 2 (5v) by pin 8 (3,3v) did not work.

I also read this script:
https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/3704/push-button-on-off-script-problems/11
But I don't need a temperature control and don't have the skills to make this.

I just want to know if it is possible to Rapsberry Pi stop to suply the GPIO 5v pins when it goes to "off mode". Or if there is any other way to solve this.

Thank you!
