v0.9

Features

Added support for Raspberry Pi Pico 2 using these configurations:

  • Pimoroni Pico DV Demo Base: pico2_picosmsPlusPlusAdaFruitDVISD.uf2
  • Custom PCB: pico2_picosmsPlusAdaFruitDVISD.uf2
  • BreadBoard: pico2_picosmsPlusAdaFruitDVISD.uf2

Introducing redesigned PCB. (V2.0) with two NES controller ports for 1 or 2-player games. Design by @johnedgarpark

Fixes

  • None

v0.8

Features

  • none

Fixes

  • none

Technical changes

  • Executables are built with Pico SDK 2.0.0

v0.7

Features

For two player games. When a USB controller is connected, you can connect a NES controller to either Port 1 or Port 2.
The USB controller is always player 1, the NES controller on Port 1 or Port 2 is player 2.
In this situation you don't need an extra NES controller port wired for port 2 for playing two player games. The controller connected to port 1 can then be used for player two.

When no USB controller is connected. You can use two NES controllers for two player games. Port 1 is player 1, Port 2 is Player 2.

Player 1 Player 2
USB controller connected USB NES port 1 or NES port 2
No usb controller connected NES port 1 NES port 2

Updated README for two player setup.

Fixes

  • none

v0.6

Features

  • Two player games can now be played. An extra NES controller port can be added to any configuration. Controller port 1 can be a USB or NES controller, controller 2 must be a NES controller. At the moment, no second USB controller can be connected.

Fixes

  • Fixed some compiler errors when building with recent versions of gcc.

Technical changes:

  • Pimoroni Pico DV Demo Base: uart output fore debug printf messages is disabled, because gpio1 is needed for the second NES controller port.

v0.5

Features

  • Display program version on lower right corber of the menu screen.

Fixes

  • Fix memory overflow that causes sound corruption (issue #6).
  • Variabele which contained the path for the rom to flash was too short in main.cpp.
