    For the recent Raspi generation, heat sinks are recommended. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XJQ2X8Y/

    Be sure to update the bootloader on the Pi 4. There are fixes for power and heat management on both the SoC and the USB 3 controller. Get package rpi-eeprom, then run sudo rpi-eeprom-update.

    I honestly don't know what to make of this.  If the goal was for making a toy for a kid to sit in a darkened closet playing spaceship, then yes it's a success.  A little kid would surely have a BLAST(off) with this thing.

    According to the album text, it's a working controller for Kerbal Space Program, which is a complex PC spaceflight simulator.

    Having fun with Dragon's Lair at Midwest Gaming Classic, Wisconsin Center, Milwaukee.

     

    Mike's packaging material is on the easel. The poster art is on the joystick console :)

     

    I couldn't walk by without playing it, even though I have a copy at home. The castle was so awesome!

    No hardware is included i use the same #2 Screws i use in the joystick adapter for the acrylic cover

    I just got everything mounted for my TIPI PEB, so I figured I'd share the parts specs. I bought assortments because I know I'll use them on other projects.

     

    Screws: #2-56x3/8" - I suspect if you used shorter screws, you'd have trouble getting the nuts started at the USB port end of the Pi.

    Washers: 2x M3 nylon per screw. This gave me enough clearance, but not by much. I had trouble fitting a simple cable tie under the Pi to help tidy the wiring.

    I have noticed that the Google Drive integration in JS99er is broken and probably has been so for a while. Since nobody has reported it I assume that nobody is using this feature (including myself), and I can remove it rather than converting it to the new version. Please let me know if you disagree.

     

    I liked having the option, but the warnings Drive gives about using an unsigned extension might scare people off.

     

    But that's part of the magic of open source. If someone here is passionate enough about the feature, they can always fix it and submit a pull request for your consideration.

     

    This thing is so cool. Thanks for continuing to improve it! I love the feature to link directly to a cart.

    Would USB Type C be an alternative worth considering? The connector is nice and small, but I don't know much about the necessary controllers other than you can route DisplayPort lanes in.

    Hence the "gdpr." I was planning to download to see the effort you put into it. I got a giggle from "No fair disassembling to look at my horrible code."

     

    Really not much effort, other than what was needed to figure out the gcc for TI install. At least now I have a starting point for something more ambitious.

    I did notice one thing... even though I started off with a 64GB SD card (which may have been overkill), the PC now reads the card as much smaller?

    I wonder what the Raspberry Pie will think of that?

     

     

    I did this one time with a 64GB Sandisk microSD, still haven't got it recovered? Don't know if there is a program to re-establish the size. But you can't format a SDXC in a device that will only go to a SDHC size which is only from <2 GB to 32 GB.

     

     

    You've almost certainly got partitions on the card that Windows Explorer is not going to show you. There should at least be a Linux swap partition. You will need to use Disk Management in Windows or gparted on Linux.

    Well of course that is the windows file "System Volume Information". Since I don;t want any folders that are not TI related I used a trick a friend taught me back when that folder was first introduced

     

    Similar things will show up if you use a Mac to set up your card, like .spotlight-v100. You can run 'dotclean /Volumes/YOURCARD' from a terminal window before you eject the card.

    My Lotharek is almost here. Hopefully tomorrow!

     

    I bought an empty NIB PEB from a local seller on eBay. He was a developer back in the heyday and bought an extra in case his went bad. It was great not to pay shipping.

     

    I only had a cassette recorder as a kid, so I'm excited to finally get to use disk-based software.
