Press esc then set your own key mapping.

Do we know how to oc the Lyra board mame is playable but a little oc would do wonders.

Updated now with mame2000

tips for mame 2000. Average around 26fps at start.If you put sound sample to lowest. Turn off game skipping and use screen full screen in video settings save global config. Okay put Audio adjustment on as some games will run crazy fast. This is now the best optimal settings around average 40 to 45fps.

Has anyone tried the new screen driver? Does it make a difference would like to know the screen improvement.

I haven’t tried 3-bit mode, but 16-bit mode did not result in a very noticeable difference. Maybe because I did not test with the right software.

Good news is that it doesn’t break anything.

Few of my notes: (these are scattered around on this thread)

  • If on Mac you can download the raw image from the ā€œsd-raw-imageā€ in the google drive. and use balenaEtcher app to write the image to the sd card. sd-raw-image - Google Drive

  • You only need to use the windows exe program to erase the flash if you get the 256mb flash version of the lyra. So don’t get that one.. get it without the flash and you don’t need to do that step.

  • MX1.25 connector needed if you want to hook up wifi to lyra board.

Is there a document that contains all the FAQs for this project? Going through this thread to find the answers is sometimes a little much.

Unfortunately, I don’t think so. But that would certainly be helpful. At least for this everything is in one thread. For the MicroPython stuff, it’s scattered around even more. :frowning: I think a lot of the projects around the PicoCalc and other Clockwork devices could benefit from a FAQ, a wiki, or a step by step guide of some sort. For the most active stuff it might be difficult to maintain though, until things settle down.

Hey,
EDIT: Got the Archer T2UB Nano to work!

…
What does your lsusb says? I wonder if I got some counterfeit stick?

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:c820

this is my lsusb.

All the best,
Carsten

I have searched an read this thread at least 10 times. Very hard indeed.

Cheers,
Carsten

EDIT: I gave RKDevTool another go!

Worked now. I have network!

Thanks!
Carsten

I wonder if I missed some.

I can’t find that in the googler drive? Also not a newer raw-sd that this:

From what I can see in the source, it seems like the devicetree is missing the external sd card support. it’s there in the image, though…

What puzzles me: how do we keep our personal files and preferences intact? Can we make a home partition for example?

Cheers

I’m hoping to use the flash on the 256Mb model AND the sd card for other things. (Flash might be faster ??)

Use the flash for what? I have MSWord documents that will not fit on that tiny bit of flash.

I’m interested in doing that as well, though I haven’t really tried yet for the built-in flash. There’s no particular reason it couldn’t be done - grab the SDK, follow the directions, and add the changes from the git repo in this thread, and you can build your own image - even for the built-in flash if you want.

I’m currently working on getting an RTC I added working, and a few other things. I expect, later on, to see if I can boot from the flash.

you can store there hidden copy of pgp keys / bitcoin wallet and no one will ever find :roll_eyes:

if I were forensics, that would be the first sort of place I would look. The RP2350 (pico2) would probably be your best bet as it has native SHA-256 built in.
Just sayin` :wink:

Here are my suggestions for programs to add to the build. None of these is in the current build as far as I know. All of them are command line/text only programs. Some of them are handy utilities to have and others are productivity applications.

mc, cmus, neofetch, mailutils, ufw, tty-clock, calcurse, irssi, alpine, wordgrinder, sc, tpp, and gpg.

Thanks,
Chris
