I can't wait for the algorithm to grab your channel and make it explode. You deserve so many more subscriber with the content you make.

@bzuidgeest Жыл бұрын

Every fan says that of every channel. It's not going to happen.

@stoojinator Жыл бұрын

@@bzuidgeest It's happened to a lot of channels. Which is amazing when you look at some of the shit channels that have 10+M subscribers. I've followed a heap of KZfaqrs who've risen from 2 or 3 thousand subs to over 500K+. It can happen.

@bzuidgeest Жыл бұрын

@@stoojinator there is a reason those shit channels have so many subscribers, and it has nothing to do with quality. Most, not ask of them are run by professional companies and sell stuff and or are very dumb. No brain required sensational. This channel is none of those things and that is good. But he is no rmc has no professional team behind him. Again that's not bad. But those other channels don't grow because of the algorithm, they grow because they are businesses not hobbies. By hey there is always the exception that proves the rule. I suggest you pray for it. But i suspect that when you look back in a few years you will be disappointed.

Impeccable timing as I will soon be building a Raspberry Pi 4 based machine to do the same thing as yours. I've had my Pi just sitting on a shelf for a while without a clue as to what to do with it. Not trying to spoil the surprise, but my machine will be a bit more portable... >.>

Ta, Picked up one last year in the 50% off sale, seemed too good to be true at that price. 50 bucks and i'm today finally getting off my bottom and installing an older raspberry pi 3B+ I have lying around into it...will see how that goes, then whack a Pi 5 in if everyone loves it

I use a cheap Arduino clone pretending to be an Xbox360 controller to interface my arcade stick to USB. It has a couple of advantages over the Zero delay boards - firstly it will work with games on PC that only support XInput devices, secondly it's customisable - I have input combinations to set different speeds of rapidfire, different speeds of autowaggle, etc.

I've been tempted by these things at Jaycar a number of times, but I couldn't find any reviews on them. Thanks for the heads up on the GPIO connection. I'll be interested to know how you go with modding to USB.

Bit late to the party but regarding the gpio lag. I noticed the same issue but if you go into the command line with F4 and type gpionext set combo_delay 0 and reset the pi this fixed the lag issue

Nope. Those GPIO switches are a dog. When we made our machine, we started with them, and they sucked. Moved to the USB adaptor and BANG! Just like it should be.

@@stoojinator good to know. Did you just use the generic usb boards you can find everywhere?

@stoojinator Жыл бұрын

@@MrLurchsThings I'll have a look back through my emails and see if I can find where we got them from. But I'm pretty sure they were the generic controllers. They were pretty cheap I do remember that much! I think I might have got them from Element 3. I was buying a bit of Raspberry Pi stuff from them at one stage.

Jaycar are ok for convenience and the reasons you mention. But I see a LOT of the same stuff you get on AliExpress (with hefty markup). It's always a test for how stingy I can be.

@MrLurchsThings Жыл бұрын

Agreed. But for me its generally worth it for a) convenience, and b) having a brick-and-mortar store to go back to. I'm pretty much on a first name basis with my local store :D

So it's basically a Pandora box without the Pandora. It's a nice project, but my advice would be to buy a Pandora. Most likely cheaper in the end.

@MrLurchsThings Жыл бұрын

It seems Pandoras got for ~$200-250AU. This was $100AU

@bzuidgeest Жыл бұрын

@@MrLurchsThings the box is cheaper. But You still have to add the pi , SD card and likely some other things. You might have had them, but you audience may have to buy it all. So for a proper comparison the price of your route will get higher. And that is not even including upgrades, the Pandora would not need. The Pandora is play ready out of the box.

@MrLurchsThings Жыл бұрын

I’ve got some upgrade plans for it already. Maybe after than I’ll drop a pandora board in it for the sake of checking it out.

@@MrLurchsThings yes you said so at the end of the video (upgrades). I mentioned it because of you are going to compare build cost, you really should take into account all components added, not just the price of the box itself.

@@bzuidgeest fine then. Deck: $99, Pi4: (for me free, but) currently $67AU from Core Electronics, SD Card: $20 (depending where you buy it and how big you want/need). Total: $186AU.
