Support Raspberry Pi
- Raspberry Pi Zero
- Raspberry Pi Zero W
- Raspberry Pi Zero WH
How to use it
Assembly
Hardware connection
- Attach Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W to GamePi20 extension board. Note that you need to first set up SD card according to the instruction below, before you assemble it.
- Mount the extension board to the metal box
- Place conductive rubber mats and buttons on it, finally assemble the front panel.
To use the GamePi20, you can use the pre-configured image or install driver to a fresh image yourself.
Method 1: Pre-configured Images
- Here we provide a pre-configured image, you can download and test
OS | Version | Raspberry Pi | Default user/password | Download link |
---|---|---|---|---|
Recalbox | 6.0-DragonBlaze | Raspberry Pi 1/Zero/Zero W | root/recalboxroot | Google Drive |
Recalbox | v7.1.1 | Raspberry Pi 1/Zero/ZeroW | root/recalboxroot | One drive |
Retropie | v4.4 | Raspberry Pi 1/Zero/Zero W | pi/raspberry | Google Drive |
Retropie | v4.7.1 | Raspberry Pi 1/Zero/Zero W | pi/raspberry | One Drive |
Retropie | v4.8 | Raspberry Pi Zero 2W | pi/raspberry | Gogle Drive |
- Download image file, unzip and write it to SD card
- Insert the SD card to Raspberry Pi, assemble GamePi20 as #Hardware connection
- turn the switch into ON. Generally, LCD is light on and Raspberry Pi is booting. It may cause about 2 minutes for Raspberry Pi 1/zero/zero W to starting.
- Raspberry Pi is failed to start if the battery is low. In this case, you can connect 5V/2A power adapter to the Power interface for charging. Capacity indicators
- If the buttons cannot work normally, please add a line to the /boot/config.txt file, then reboot and try again.
dtparam=spi=on
Basic operations
- Retropie
- After booting, you can select emulators by direction buttons on the left, then press "A" to confirm. For example, choose "A" and then "Start"
- Choose the games and press "A" to play
- Press "Start"+"Select" buttons to exit games
- You can adjust the potentiometer to adjust the volume. Or Press "Start" and choose "SOUND SETTINGS" to adjust volume
- Recalbox
- After booting, you can select emulators by direction buttons on the left, then press "B" to confirm.
- Choose the games and press "A" to play, press "A" or "Start" to start games
- Press "Start"+"Select" buttons to exit games
- you can adjust the potentiometer to adjust volume. Or Press "Start" and choose "SOUND SETTINGS", press "B" confirm, then adjust "SYSTEM VOLUME" by direction buttons.
Method 2: Install driver
Install driver on Retropie
Download Retropie image from Retropie website
1) Download the image file to the computer and unzip it to get the .img file.
2) Connect the TF card to the computer, open the Win32DiskImager.exe software, select the .img file prepared in step 1, and click write to burn the image.
3) Connect SD card, keyboard and a HDMI display to Raspberry Pi, Turn the switch into ON side to power on Raspberry Pi. Press F4 (Keyboard) after booting. You may require an ETH/USB HUB HAT in this steps
4) Configure as below to enable fbtft module for displaying
- Doenload the driver from the github
sudo apt-get install cmake cd ~ git clone https://github.com/juj/fbcp-ili9341.git
- Modify the source file to make the program support the current screen resolution
cd fbcp-ili9341 nano st7735r.h
- Find the following code and change the value of DISPLAY_NATIVE_HEIGHT from 240 to 320
#if defined(ST7789) || defined(ST7789VW) #define DISPLAY_NATIVE_WIDTH 240 #define DISPLAY_NATIVE_HEIGHT 320 //The original value was 240, changed to 320 #elif defined(ST7735R)
- Compile the program and run it.
mkdir build cd build cmake -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=20 -DWAVESHARE_ST7789VW_HAT=ON -DDMA_TX_CHANNEL=5 -DDMA_RX_CHANNEL=1 -DBACKLIGHT_CONTROL=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 .. make -j sudo ./fbcp-ili9341
After running the program, the screen will display an image, but the resolution may not be set, and the displayed image may not be completely accurate.
【Note】If a similar prompt appears as below, it means that the DMA channel has been occupied, and you need to modify the DMA channel and recompile. |

- Set auto-start when power on.
sudo cp ~/fbcp-ili9341/build/fbcp-ili9341 /usr/local/bin/fbcp sudo nano /etc/rc.local
- Add sentence fbcp& in the front of exit 0
- Configure /boot/config.txt file
sudo nano /boot/config.txt #add lines below to config.txt file hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_cvt=640 480 60 1 0 0 0 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=1 hdmi_mode=87 display_rotate=2 dtoverlay=pwm
5)Install driver for josytic
git clone https://github.com/waveshare/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi.git cd mk_arcade_joystick_rpi sudo ./install.sh 3
- Finally, reboot it.
sudo reboot
6) Long-press "A" button (GamePi20) to enter the configuration page, configure it by pressing related buttons (GamePi20), you can also long-press to skip any button
After configuring, you can press "A" (GamePi20) to save configured and exit, or press "B" or "Start" (GamePi20) to exit without saving.

- Reboot Raspberry Pi
Add new games (Retropie)
Maybe default games in test image are not those you want, you can also add games as you like.
- Size of most games are always large, so we need to expand filesystem fist. Choose RASPI-CONFIG on configure page and press enter
- Choose 7 Advanced Options -> A1 Expand Filesystem, Enter->Finish, (physical keyboard is required)
- Choose OK, and reboot.
- Download ROMS of games you like
- Connect your Raspberry Pi to network (Make sure the network you connect is in the same LAN as your PC). Find SHOW IP in Retropie list, press “A” to query current IP address of your Raspberry Pi.
- Open it with the IP address on your PC
- Then on emulator choose page, you can press “Start”->QUIT->RESTART EMULATIONSTAION, press “A” to confirm. Then restart emulator, you can find the game added.
For more operations, you can read Retropie Instructions
