Thinking of grabbing a RetroStone during the sale

So I snagged a Raspiboy a year or two back, but could only play it a week before I somehow broke the screen during an SD card upgrade. I never got around to ordering a replacement screen (need to do that at some point) but went to using a GPD Win for a while. However, I'm not a big fan of the Win, i...

Re: Pic of my Mini NES Build

I got my replacement PCB in, only to find it STILL has the black screen, but fully working over HDMI. It should not be electrostatic discharge as I am assembling on a wood table, and am grounding myself before assembly. I am guessing an LCD failure, gonna order a new screen and see if that fixes the...

Re: Pic of my Mini NES Build

He never said when it was coming in, I didn't wanna bug him too much with him being as busy as he is right now. It's been about 4 weeks, but I figure there is a backorder.

Fantastic! Looks like I will pick up the updated PCB once they are done!

Is there a second version of the 8bcraft PCB in development?

I was curious if there was a new 8bcraft PCB in development to address the charging while powered on issue, and maybe other tweaks. I would be more than happy to pay down the road for an upgraded PCB that could handle charging while powered on!

Re: Have any non-backers who purchased on the website received a tracking number?

I ordered on the site here and received my order. Unfortunately, my unit suffered the black screen of death after 3 hours, but Pierre is sending me a new board to swap it out with, so hopefully all will be good soon!

Re: "I have received mine" thread

Sadly, my unit has suffered the black screen failure that others have experienced, even though I was using a Regular Pi 0 and not the Pi 0 W. Pierre is sending me a new board, and I am sending the original back so that hopefully they can find the cause of the black screen problem. Thanks to Pierre f...

Re: "I have received mine" thread

Got mine in. Pretty happy, pros and cons. Pros: Very easy assembly. It's possible to have ready to go in 20 minutes. The size fits very well in the hands. The D Pad in particular is well designed, it pivots in the middle, making it great for most games. The 8bcraft PCB makes nice use of expanding th...

Re: "I have received mine" thread

First order number by default on woocommerce is about 330 so in fact you'r one of the first after-kickstarter backer. Hi Pierre, would you know when they will ship order #506 from the website? I'm not Pierre, but I might be able to help with this question. All of the orders are already packed and g...
