OK so now that I look at it and the readme, I don't understand any of this...

1) Is this done on the raspi sd card or the dongle?
2) Is this something I can do through windows?
 
I was half asleep when I replied this morning, for some reason I thought you were making your own menu/build on raspbian, not using the pre-made one.

Try a different USB cable and ignore the readme details I posted :)
 
That should all be there on the SD card image
Make sure you use a proper usb that has the data wires connected - some only have power connected and used a charging cable

Have tried several cables now, including ones that I used to connect to the dongle on my laptop, and I still get the exact same error, so I don’t think it’s the cable.

Doesn’t seem to be a cable problem. Maybe the pi unit?? I don’t know but i think I’ve tried everything else 🤷‍♂️
 
Do you just drop the chd files right on the usb flash drive? No need to create an iso?
 
So I got everything set up I had to get a rpi4 hoping it would work. I plugged in the rpi to test before I hooked up to a machine but the screen just gets like.. unbelievably hot

Edit : Amazon sent me the wrong fkn screen vcc and ground are swapped

And do I need the 12/5v line plugged into ode I’m assuming

You actually don’t need the Molex plugged in - the rpi can power the ODE with no issues. I assume you have a 246? Since the selector pins aren’t hooked up.

I got another screen was wrong again..

This is what I got. Acted like it wanted to start then just blank screen

It’s a 256 gonna hook up the pins when I get the proper screen.

Do I need to update idr or the dongle at all?

does the 256 boot up w/o all the Rpi hooked up? Did your system come with any games ?

The Rpi is used to program the dongle and then to mount the correct ISO image on the dongle.

I would make sure your 256 is working correctly first before complicating the setup with this.

Ok made “some” progress confirmed working with my dragon ball dvd


So I hooked the multi rig back up had a 256 mode error swapped the jumper then got to the (notice screen) thought it was all good but then it just goes to black screen after countdown. I wanted to try another game but without the screen a little difficult. I’ll wait till the screen arrives and get the 256/246 plug installed to the multi
