One neat thing I did was, using a design by u/legochuck on Reddit, I modified his 3d model and outfitted my mod to be able to switch between a 4 way and 8 way joystick from the top.

I need this! Do you have the thread handy?

I was up all night last night ssh into my pi to modify a virtualman image to my 5:4 Dell monitor.

Also disappointed how much manual work there is to locate and properly size background art, etc.

One I have a solid set of ROMs, bezels, background art, samples and marquees I'm going to be very happy.

If you want something done right..

Eta I'm at the point now where I can guide anyone through this now. There's no A-Z guide anywhere just bits and pieces so if anyone gets frustrated ping me.

Legochuck’s thread

My thread

I actually also followed u/madmexicano’s thread and hooked my stock volume switch to a mini amplifier chip, a PAM 8803, and back to the stock speakers. This allows me to control the volume with the stock switch.

I also used the IcculusPlan for using the stock on/off switch to power on/off the raspberry pi.

Oh, I forgot to explain why I had to modify legochuck’s design. He glued the “key” down to make it work. His hardware must also be slightly different than mine because the throw on the joystick wasn’t quite far enough for me, so I had to widen the gate a bit. I added a cap that fit on the key and has a little protrusion that fits into the flathead groove on the base of the stick so that I wouldn’t have to glue it. Printing it in pla was too brittle but petg works great.
