CHANGELOG
General Info
Binaries for each configuration and PCB design are at the end of this page.
- For Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) you need to download the .uf2 files starting with pico_.
- For Raspberry Pi Pico w (rp2040) you can download the .uf2 files starting with pico_w_. Although you can also use the pico_ binaries on the Pico w if you don't mind the blinking led.
- For Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (w) (RP2350) you need to download the .uf2 files starting with pico2_ or pico2_riscv_ for Risc-V.
Note
There is no specific build for the Pico 2 w because of issues with the display when blinking the led. Use the pico2_ binaries instead. There is no blinking led on the Pico 2 w.

v0.22
Features
Technical changes
- Lots of code is now moved to git module pico_shared. This is code that can be shared between other emulators. This includes the menu system, the SD-card handling, the display handling. Also the code for controller input (NES, Wii-Classic, USB, keyboard) is moved to this module. When building from source, make sure you do a git submodule update --init from within the source folder to get the pico_shared module and all the other modules.
Fixes
- Can now be built for pico w (RP2040). This makes the led blink every 60 frames or when rom is flashed. This only works for the Pico w. Pico2 w (RP2350) is not supported, because it causes screen flicker and ioctl timeouts on the uart console.
To build for Pico w, use the following commands:
# Pimoroni DV Demo Base
./bld.sh -c1 -w
# Custom PCB/breadboard
./bld.sh -c2 -wv0.21
Features
-
For RP2350, Risc-V binaries can be build and are included in the release. In Risc-V there is one display mode missing because the Risc-V assembly code for that display mode is not implemented. The following Risc-V binaries are included in the release:
- pico2_riscv_piconesPlusAdaFruitDVISD.uf2
- pico2_riscv_piconesPlusPimoroniDV.uf2
-
Displays the hardware type in the menu.
-
updated bld.sh and buildAll.sh scripts to include the Risc-V build. For this to work, you need to have the Risc-V toolchain installed. Depending on your development environment you need to download:
- Raspberry Pi OS: https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk-tools/releases/download/v2.0.0-5/riscv-toolchain-14-aarch64-lin.tar.gz
- Linux x86/x64: https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk-tools/releases/download/v2.0.0-5/riscv-toolchain-14-x86_64-lin.tar.gz
and extract it to $PICO_SDK_PATH/toolchain/RISCV_RPI_2_0_0_2 (create the directory tree if needed)
To build run:
- ./bld.sh -c1 -r -t $PICO_SDK_PATH/toolchain/RISCV_RPI_2_0_0_2/bin
- ./bld.sh -c2 -r -t $PICO_SDK_PATH/toolchain/RISCV_RPI_2_0_0_2/bin
The first command builds a Risc-V binary for the Pimoroni DV Demo base, the second for the PCB or breadboard with Adafruit hardware.
-
The colors in the menu can be changed and saved:
- Select + Up/Down changes the foreground color.
- Select + Left/Right changes the background color.
- Select + A saves the colors. Screen will flicker when saved.
- Select + B resets the colors to default. (Black on white)
Fixes
- Fix scroll in highlighted menu item.
- Fix Splash screen shown when exiting a game.
- Fix in game reset boots back to game in stead of menu.
v0.20
Features
- Add support for these USB gamepads:
- Sega Mega Drive/Genesis Mini 1 and Mini 2 controllers.
- PlayStation Classic controller.
- Mantapad, cheap NES and SNES USB controllers from AliExpress. When starting a game, it is possible you have to unplug and replug the controller to get it working.
- XInput controllers like Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers. 8bitdo controllers are also XInput controllers and should work. Hold X + Start to switch to XInput mode. (LED 1 and 2 will blink). For Xbox controllers, remove the batteries before connecting the USB cable. Playing with batteries in the controller will work, but can cause the controller to stop working. Sometimes the controller will not work after flashing a game. In that case, unplug the controller and plug it back in. In case of 8bitdo controllers, unplug the controller, hold start to turn it off, then plug it back in. This will make the controller work again.
- Add USB keyboard support:
- A: Select
- S: Start
- Z: B
- X: A
- Cursor keys: D-pad
- When an USB device is connected, the device type is shown at the bottom of the menu. Unsupported devices show as xxxx:xxxx.
- Minor cosmetic changes to the menu system.
- Minor changes in PCB design (pico_nesPCB_v2.1.zip)
- D3 and D4 of NES controller port 2 are connected to GPIO28 (D3) and GPIO27 (D4), for possible future zapper use.
- More ground points are added.
XInput driver: https://github.com/Ryzee119/tusb_XInput by Ryzee119 When building from source, make sure you do a git submodule update --init from within the source folder to get the XInput driver.
