Temp'n #12
Another month, another issue of Temp'n! Let's take a look at what our tempers have in store for us for this issue:
- Arcade stick raspberry project by @ciaomao
Resident temper @ciaomao made this sick-looking arcade stick by integrating Raspberry Pi 3 in the first stick and built a 2nd passive version with only the joystick controller. The housing is made of aluminium and it is even possible to add the 2nd player via USB.
The first stick has a USB switch to chose between the internal connection or external joystick mode. So its possible to use both sticks with the integrated retropie, but also with PC. The buttons on both sides are dedicated for pinball games.
You can access the 64GB microSD from the backside (the port behind that round black rubber) or wifi. You also have the option to change between analogue and digi mode, with a small button. The audio and video output is via HDMI Everything is very robust, which was my main intension.
His retropie image is customized, with a special bootscreen, in menu music (8bit Giana Sisters), meta data of all games and only shumps, pinballs and fighting games are flashed.
All components for those two sticks cost him about 100€. And he's nice enough to share the shopping list for the parts should you want to make you own! See the list below:

Anyone can submit a character through the official GBAtemp thread or through social media, and the top five characters picked by the artists will be featured in the game, and the top character will be featured as a playable character in the game.
