If you use the other port, you may not get video, and you definitely will not get audio-over-HDMI.<\/li>\n<li>Started with the SNES controllers.  These are authentic-looking, but they lack a bunch of buttons, including the all-important &#8220;Hotkey&#8221;, so upgraded to the 8Bitdo<\/li>\n<li>The case has a &#8220;Safe Shutdown&#8221; switch.  Use the fork (crcerror), not the original, github project code.  After turning it off, changing the switch to &#8220;On&#8221;, booting, then installing the software and rebooting, the power\/reset buttons change.  The &#8220;Reset&#8221; button on the case now acts to (1) quit the game, (2) quit the emulator, and (3) restart Emulationstation itself.  And now, the &#8220;Power&#8221; button will call &#8220;shutdown&#8221; instead of just turning off the power.  The &#8220;power led&#8221; behavior changes a bit too &#8211; there is a delay on both power on and power off.<\/li>\n<li>The case came with a small microHDMI adapter, but it was awkward, so purchased the microHDMI cable.<\/li>\n<li>Ended up with two USB-C power supplies, because the PI case came with one too.  CanaKit provied a 3.5W, the case provided a 3.0W<\/li>\n<li>For the better controller, the triggers won&#8217;t register out-of-the-box.  You have to compile the xboxdrv package (from RetroPie-Config, Manage Packages &gt;&gt; Manage Driver Packages &gt;&gt; xboxdrv).  On a Raspberry Pi 4, this takes &#8220;a long time&#8221; (7 minutes).  Remember to enable the driver as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Item Product Cost Pi 4 CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 Basic Kit 1.5GHz 64-bit quad core ARMv8, USB-C 3.5A Power, USB-C Power switch $55 MicroSD SanDisk 64GB Ultra microSDXC USH-I $12 Case RETROFLAG NESPi 4 Case with SSD Case, USB-C Power &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/2020\/09\/15\/retropie-raspberry-pi-4\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1115"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1131,"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115\/revisions\/1131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tiemensfamily.com\/timoncs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
