New weekend project that I made:
\nLast year I a got a NES\u00a0case of a co-worker, I did’t know what to do with it, until now…<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3365\"\u00a0\"IMG_3370\"<\/a>
\nEmpty case, only the top and bottom and the buttons.\u00a0 perfect for a Raspberry pi project….
\nThe last weekend I started printing heavy on my Anycubric Photon.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\"IMG_3382\"<\/a>
\nAnd it felt if i was making Amiibo’s
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

After seeing the second picture<\/a>\u00a0above I got inspired to make a new RetroPie console.
\nNeeded to be RFID and controller…
\nLeft the NES case and the semi setup\u00a0 Right a working setup only no working code at that point.
\nEven the RFID would’t read the cards because of the\u00a0SPI-PY<\/a>\u00a0 its\u00a0sort of broken.<\/p>\n

How to connect?
\n\"DIY-RFID-Doggy-Door-Circuit-Schematic-w_-LED_Fig1\"<\/a>\u00a0\"6IW3b-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First install\u00a0SPI-PY<\/a>\u00a0(git clone\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/lthiery\/SPI-Py.git<\/a>) then rolle back:<\/p>\n

\n
git clone https:\/\/github.com\/lthiery\/SPI-Py.git
\ngit checkout 8cce26b9ee6e69eb041e9d5665944b88688fca68
\nsudo python setup.py install <\/code><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you do that! Then and only then, you can get the RFID-RC533 working under latest Jessy or RetroPie latest build.
\nThen you can install the\u00a0MFRC522 Library<\/a>\u00a0and start reading some card data.

To get it working the way I wanted was a pain in the @ss. There is some info on\u00a0runcommand<\/a>:<\/p>\n

example:<\/strong><\/h6>\n
\/opt\/retropie\/supplementary\/runcommand\/runcommand.sh'<\/span>,'0'<\/span>, '_SYS_'<\/span>, 'gb'<\/span>, '\/home\/pi\/RetroPie\/roms\/gb\/Tetris (JUE) (V1.0) [!].gb'<\/span><\/code><\/h6>\n

But no info on Scummvm and i wanted to launch Monkey Island 1 SE talkie version I made back in the day.
\nWhen the Talkie Mod came out.. Been looking for a console that could play those 2 new Talkie versions.
\nAnd ScummVM is vers 2.0 on Raspberry so it would work.<\/p>\n

Here is a Video showing off how it works and change between Monkey Island and EmulationStation.<\/p>\n
