And Now I'm Playing Digimon World 3!!
Salam (Peace)
In my first #ahmadmangarpi post I talked about how I got a Raspberry Pi with my Steemit earning. And the challenges I faced trying to manage it.
(Retropie, Digimon World 3 & My Trusty Xbox Controller)
I decided to try multiple Operating Systems before sticking to one of them. After succeeding in working raspbian I decided to try Retropie next... I'm already liking it so much but I'll probably try more systems before settling.
Problems I Encountered
One of the first thing I noticed is some noise in the audio... It doesn't matter what Speaker or Headphone I use. After a small google search it seems it's a built-in flaw of Raspberry Pi. And it's advised to use HDMI or USB audio instead.
Calibrating The Screen
Retropie is built on Raspbian so I knew that the 5 inch screen would work on it. But I was surprised when I found the screen displayed shows static on the right side of the screen. That's due to the wrong aspect ratio in the Pi's config file on the SD card.
(Static!!... Static!! Everywhere!!)
I solved this with the help of Google Raspberry Pi's official Documentation. And as you can see in the cover picture the device works as a portable gaming system (without a case) right now.
