@scavy Salut, oui sans coque 3D c'est honnêtement assez désagréable à tenir en main et le bruit des boutons de base est vraiment désagréable. C'est assez dommage car une fois moddé correctement c'est une machine assez sympa a utiliser, avec une forme qui rappelle la game gear.

Si tu es curieux, tu pourras trouver et faire imprimer des coques 3D ici:

Pour moi let top serait un module pour le GPI permettant d'utiliser un Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+, qui n'est pas beaucoup plus gros qu'un rpi zero. Esperont que ce soit possible un jour!

Hey, this looks fantastic!
Any possibility to have a zip?

thanks!

Hey,

thanks for your quick answer, out of curiosity, do you know why the first boot works perfectly fine?

thanks!

Hello,

taking advantage of this new thread to raise a problem that I have.
I've installed the 6.1.1 on a HP hp t610 thin client - APU T56N AMD with a Radeon HD 6320 GPU, the first boot is perfect, then all the other time it won't boot and stays stuck with error message xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to x server.

I've tried with both x64 and x86 version. Any hint?

Bonjour,

Je relance ce topic car j'ai exactement le même problème. J'ai flashé un dd avec la 6.1.1, le premier boot se passe parfaitement puis le second reste bloqué a l’écran de démarrage.
En mode verbose, j'ai le message d'erreur suivant: xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to x server

J'utilise un HP hp t610 thin client - APU T56N AMD avec carte graphique Radeon HD 6320

J'ai essaye de flasher la version x86 et x64, même résultats...

Hi,

no I finally gave up and stuck to the retropie. As far as I remember I've managed to compile juj drivers for ili9342 and bootup correctly but for some reason it was not consistent (sometime it was booting with the image sometimes it was remaining blank). I've never managed to figure out why.

I need to dig up a little bit to find the right option to compile juj drivers for both screens, I'll let you know if I manage to find it back.

cheers

Hi @Scavy,

here is my return of experience as I have both a P3b gamehat and some home made gameboy zero:

• Gamehat :
  • Very easy to put together. Just plug the P3b, the battery and you're good to go.
  • P3b performance is better than pizero for emulation (especially snes, gba, ps1)
  • The buttons are very "clicky" so it either you like it or hate it. One thing for sure is that it is impossible to play discreetly
  • The form factor is good for big hand but rather cumbersome and the edges are sharp. It is possible to improve it with 3D printed cases. The same goes for the buttons that you can replace with rubber membranes based ones, but it requires soldering and 3D printing in the end.
  • the battery last around 2 hours, a bit more maybe depanding on the quality and capacity. Note that it is recommended to use a P3b instead of a P3b+ as it consumes a bit less power.

• Gameboy zero (or GPI case):
  • the GPI case seems also very easy to assemble, but the pi zero is more limited for emulation.
  • Snes games overall does not play full speed and GBA is only playable using GPSP who is not compatible with some games (golden sun for example).
  • Battery lifetime should be more with a pizero, but will require modification of the GPI case to use rechargeable batteries with higher capacity.

I hope it will be useful!

Hi @ian57, any hint please on how to run executable at startup with recalbox?

Thanks!

Hey @ian57 , I did, it worked.

My question would be more to have an example of the script to make it run at startup as I am not very knowledgeable with debian. Even a skeleton will do.

I've managed to make both ili9341 and ili9342 running at 60fps with juj drivers on retropie so there is no reason not to do it on recalbox!
Thanks!

@ian57 not sure how to do that, I've added the file fbcp-ili9342 to /usr/bin, then chmod +x ili9342
I have added a file S13fbcpili9342 in /etc/init.d, same chmod +x
modified the /boot/config.txt and recalbox.conf
no results, white screen...
