R-Pi SNES retro console project
Slippyblade:
Without knowing what you are talking about from Adafruit, no clue. Any physical shutdown switch is gonna need two GPIO pins though, at the very least a ground pin and a signal pin. The ground could be shared with other stuff though. And yes, some sort of script needs to be running. Whether it's a bash script, some other script, or an actual deamon is up to you.

It's the Adafruit Retrogame utility found on this page: https://learn.adafruit.com/retro-gaming-with-raspberry-pi/buttons

I thought about using NES USB controllers on my Frankenstein project, but I dunno. Am thinking about going with the original NES controllers, only problem is that I don't know how the original NES controllers will work with a SNES emulator. I know the USB SNES controllers will work with NES and SNES, but not sure about vice-versa.
By using USB, I can switch between the two.
Decisions decisions.

I used the SNES with my console. Doesn't bother me. But these would get you closer to the NES look.

Did some more work on this beast the other day. Got the original SNES game ports wired up to the GPIO pins. Player one works like a dream now. One of the super generic off-brand controllers I had misbehaved in a weird way, but the other off-brand and the OG SNES controller both work great. I took the build over to a get together at a friend's house last night and hooked it up... it was being played all night by an assortment of people. Made me so proud.
