That was it, thanks!
I switched to Carbon and everything works now. Looks like enabling Dreamcast pushed the other theme over the edge :)
in reply to: Trying to power illuminated arcade Button (12v) #119970Yup, that’s what I was going to say. I’m running 8 illuminated buttons and an illuminated joystick from my Pi’s GPIO pins with no issues. LEDs are the only way to go unless you’re using a 12v power supply and taking 5v off it to power the Pi separately.
in reply to: My Retropie arcade stick #119960I started out wanting to retrofit an existing stick, but then scrapped that idea and just used the hardware in a wooden case.
I’m getting the power from the Neutrik USB port next to the HDMI on top of the case. It’s USB B on the outside and USB A on the inside. I then have a short USB A to Micro USB cable on the inside giving power to the pi.
I made a board on the inside that has all the button connectors from the original stick mounted on some breadboard and then uses a ribbon cable to connect to the GPIO pins on the pi. All the buttons have four wires because of the LEDs so keeping the existing connectors was easiest.in reply to: My Retropie arcade stick #119763Since I made this I’ve added a WIFI dongle to the Pi so I can send files to it and update without having to mess around with USB or ethernet.
I’ll probably put a Pi3 in there too when I can find one. Does anyone know if I can upgrade the current install and just put that SD card into the Pi3 or do I have to use a fresh install? Configuring the buttons in pifba is a real pain!in reply to: LED buttons switching within Retropie #106432That worked! Thank you very much.
