Support for the Hack Club Sprig

[Vishram1123]

I am trying to get this program to work on the Hack Club Sprig (schematic here), and while I can flash the rom, I cannot get the display or the controls to work. This is expected, as you stated that this works only on the DualShock, DualSense, and the BUFFALO BGC-FC801, and with a specific pinout. However, could you possibly use this schematic to add support for the Sprig?

Unfortunately i don't think i can be of any help in this.

Since the emulator is build for HDMI output (including sound), the display and audio code should be rewritten for use with a TFT breakout board and a separate audio board.
The Adafruit TFT ST7735 specified in your link has a resolution of 128x160 pixels. This is too low, since a resolution of 256x240 is needed,

Alright, thanks anyway

Do you think it would be possible to adapt your PicoSystem handheld version to work with this?

[fhoedemakers]

Hi, but the resolution is still too low for that device. (128x160 pixels). The NES needs 256x240 pixels. SInce the PicoSystem also has a resolution of 240x240 pixels, i needed to cut-off 8 pixels to the left and 8 pixels to the right. This is somewhat acceptable. But for only 128 pixels screenwidth, this is way too short. Or do i miss something here?

[Vishram1123]

You could downscale by getting the average of every other pixel in the x and y directions, so an image like

would look like

Sorry for the late response. Was quite busy.
This could be an option with the PicoSystem handheld as a starting point, however i do not have the device at hand. Can you be of any help youtself in this?

[Vishram1123]

Yes, I have the device and I can help (though I am also in the middle of final exams, so it might take a bit to respond); right now, the PicoSystem rom (expectedly) does nothing on my device, but it does show a blue light on the D1 led.
