CHANGELOG

General Info

Only binaries for Pico2 arm-s and Pico2 Risc-V are available. Risc-v binaries start with pico2_riscv_. The emulator is too slow for Pico (rp2340) based boards.

  • pico2_PicoPeanutGBPimoroniDV.uf2 : For the Pimoroni DV Deno Base with Pico2.
  • pico2_PicoPeanutGBAdaFruitDVISD.uf2 : For the breadboard or PCB variant with Pico 2
  • pico_nesPCB_v2.1.zip: PCB Design.

For more info see the Pico-InfonesPlus sister project.

Note

There is no specific build for the Pico2 w because of issues with the display when blinking the led. Use the pico_2_ binaries instead. There is no blinking led on the Pico 2 w.

Note

The emulator is still in development and may have performance issues, causing some games to not run at full speed and red screen flicker. It is not cycle accurate, feature-complete, fully tested, or entirely stable. Maybe some games will not run at all.

Warning

Some games show red flashing between screens. This can be occasionally or severe depending on the game. If you are sensitive for this, or experience health issues while playing those games, please stop playing immediately.

3D-printed case design for PCB: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6689537.
For the latest two player PCB 2.0, you need:

  • Top_v2.0_with_Bootsel_Button.stl. This allows for software upgrades without removing the cover. (*)
  • Base_v2.0.stl
  • Power_Switch.stl.

(*) in case you don't want to access the bootsel button on the Pico, you can choose Base_v2.0.stl

v0.5 Release notes

Features

  • Enable fastscrolling in the menu, by holding up/down/left/right for 500 milliseconds, repeat delay is 40 milliseconds.
  • bld.sh mow uses the amount of cores available on the system to speed up the build process. An optional -p flag can be used to specify the amount of cores to use.
  • uses latest version of pico_shared and pico_lib submodules.

Fixes

  • Temporary Rollback NesPad code for the WaveShare RP2040-PiZero only. Other configurations are not affected.
  • Update time functions to return milliseconds and use uint64_t to return microseconds.

All changes are in the pico_shared submodule. When building from source, make sure you do a git submodule update --init from within the source folder to get the latest pico_shared module.
