They should unzip to a folder called gneogeo If you havent setup /dev/fb0 yet, just go ahead and do sudo chmod 777 /dev/fb0.So without further ado, below is the guide for installing and running Gngeo on the Raspberry Pi! The configuration was kind of a pain, but I think I have everything working right. Last week I started messing with Gngeo, an open source Neo Geo emulator. There is even a homebrew scene that is still running which releases a game every couple of years. The first games came out in 1989, and the system had games still coming out in 2004.

Over the years I’ve owned multiple Neo Geo Arcade Cabinets, tons of Neo Geo boards, and a drawer full of cartridges for the system. Package includes: A controller for ipad 9.7” LP097x02 LCD a LVDS cable and a keypad with cable.I’m going to start this with saying that the Neo Geo is one of my favorite systems EVER. Standard keypad supports double-color LED indicator. Standard LVDS output, supports 1ch 6 bit, 1ch 8 bit, 2ch 6 bit, 2ch 8 bit but only with panel voltage 3.3V ĩ. Standard backlight: 6 pin connector could connect inverter externally ħ. Support wide-voltage input, and could work within 5V-24V Ħ. Support 1ch HDMI input and IC supports HDMI 1.1ĥ. General Specification for LCD controller boardģ. Kindly note: If you have other similar LCD panels, please advise the detailed LCD model no.

To get this to run on startup i edited /etc/rc.local again and added the following to the end:Įcho 'Turning on arcade LED via GPIO pin 16)' To get the front LED to light up via the GPIO pins i created a small Python script and saved it as /home/pi/arcade_led_on: typed make), and made sure this started on boot by adding the following to /etc/rc.local:Įcho 'Starting Adafruit's retrogame utility to map gpio inputs to keyboard presses' To get the exit button to emulate someone pressing the escape key i used Adafruit's retrogame utility and edited retrogame.c to add the following to the ioStandard table before the line which has ' END OF LIST' # Audio output to go to (0) Analogue jack, (1) HDMI

For my 4:3 800圆00 HDMI screen i edited /boot/config.txt to set the following:īy default the N64 emulator sends sound out of the HDMI if HDMI is connected so i had to edit the following setting in /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg to get sound out of the analog: You may also need to set the screen resolution. Once connected its really just a case of mapping the joystick, buttons and the exit button in the appropriate emulators (and copying up the relevant roms for any games you own).

I used a Raspberry Pi 2 model B with RetroPi ( an image you can download to your SD card) which includes Emulation Station ( a graphical front end ) and a number of emulators. In the end i bought the acrylic cut to size and just drilled the holes myself.įYI: Portrait or landscape is a personal choice and depends on what games you're likely to mainly play but i decided on landscape ( i also had some performance issues when i tried portrait due to the extra processing the pi has to do to rotate the output ). My first attempts at cutting the acrylic ended in disaster ( due to a blunt Stanley knife which couldn't even cut paper ). I bought some clear acrylic to cover the front and drilled four holes in the corners to bolt everything in place to form a sandwich including a 'bezel' cut out of black card to hide the silver frame of the screen. The screen is secured in place with two MDF battons on the back with the HDMI board screwed in place behind the screen. The screen is 6mm deep so i bought some 6mm MDF to make a housing for it and painted it black ( although this isn't necessary). In the end i bought a Tontec 8' 4:3 screen with HDMI/VGA board off Ebay which i'm very pleased with. A 9' 4:3 would be perfect but they are extremely rare/expensive currently ( unless you can find an hdmipi screen).

I initially ordered a Tontec 7' 16:9 screen with HDMI/VGA board off Amazon but didn't like the size or aspect ratio. The screen took the most thought - what size, landscape or portrait, resolution, how do i mount it, does it need perspex, what kind of bezel etc.
