Re: RetroStone : New product pre-release news!

It will be difficult to make 2 different version of the PCB. It would need start from scratch the pcb design again.

Re: must i change my PCB V. 1.1 to 1.2 ?

Re: RetroStone : New product pre-release news!

It's way better because with Raspiboy I use existing gamepad modules and their quality are not always perfect. With Retrostone the controls are directly on my board, so I can be sure they position are perfect and they quality too (gold surface finish). Also they are driven directly by GPIO so there ...

It's a custom H3 board, so it's not really an orangepi. But the schematic is similar to orange pi PC.
