DMJohn0X Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 so this is my current project, its a pi zero in a metal DBZ History of Trunks DVD Case. I dremeled out the finger grip areas to make room for the ports. Mounted using mounting tape and when its done, ill hot glue it shut. currently my usb snes controllers arent working, so that is what im working on now.

Seymour Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 What an original idea Did you solve the problem with the hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilucifer Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Correct me if i m wrong but i think raspberry pi cannot work with hub for controllers.you have to connect every controller in different usb port if you use retropie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f8lbyte Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hope you can sort out your issues, I'm guessing you need a powered usb hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yeah those OTG hubs to dont work. Not if you use them to also power the unit and the Pi gets confused even if you use it just for controllers. Check it by powering it on with pads in and no power. Then take out the hub, plug it back in, after around 20 secs the pads work again. Its a pain that makes the hubs usless from all the ones I tried :( amaon basics hub is perfect though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzfranz Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 That's certainly something different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmievids88 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'm guessing that box will get very hot when it's closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocta Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Please update us with the final photo once it's finished, I'm really curious to see how it'll look with the controllers getting out of the DVD case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
