I want Help Understanding Some Features on Freeplaytech Devices

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 14:35:07 +0000

Hey everyone,

I got into Freeplaytech devices & I have been having a blast exploring all the possibilities. I have a few questions & I was hoping some of you experienced folks could help me out.

I want to know about the best way to optimize battery life. I have seen some mentions of different settings or tweaks that can help but I am not sure where to start. Are there any must-do adjustments??

I want to know about game compatibility. I know it supports a wide range of games but are there any settings or emulators that work better for certain titles?? I want to make sure I am getting the best performance possible.

If anyone has general tips or tricks they wish they knew when they first started using their Freeplaytech device; I want to hear them.

Thank you.............?

Need Help Troubleshooting Power Issues on FreePlay CM3+ Build

Thu, 28 Nov 2024 09:04:13 +0000

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on my FreePlay CM3+ handheld build and I’m facing some power issues that I can’t seem to figure out. I’m using a 3.7V 2500mAh Li-ion battery and a BMS board for power management, but the system keeps shutting down after running for about 30 minutes.
At first, I thought it might be a battery issue, so I tested it with a multimeter and the voltage seems fine. The power button seems to be working, but after a short period of use, the system just powers off without warning. It doesn’t matter whether I’m playing games or just navigating the menu; it still happens.
I’ve also checked the connections, and everything seems to be properly wired, but I wonder if there’s an issue with the power regulation circuit or maybe something on the board is shorting out. Could anyone point me in the right direction for troubleshooting this? Maybe someone here has experienced something similar and could offer advice or insights.
I’m new to working with these types of boards and setups, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Joystick guide for Zero 640x480

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 01:12:43 +0000

Hey,

Are there any guides out there for setting up an analog stick (joystick) on the FP Zero 640x480?

I’ve see some amazing videos by Hipcat and Ed Mandy on YouTube and been able to install a Joycon joystick onto the board and wire it up correctly but in the controller setup I’m only getting the joystick button input and not either x or y axis is being detected.

Saw some videos on how to set up an analog on the CM3 (was quite a lot of steps) but nothing regarding the Zero 640x480.

Sorry if I missed it or if it should auto pick up and there’s a fault with the hardware, fairly confident it’s wired correctly. I’m only install the one on the left side, and have wired 5 cables to:
•+3V3
•ADC0
•ADC1
•GND
•Left

Thanks!

CM3 sitting on my shelf

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 08:17:41 +0000

My freeplaytech GBA CM3 has been sitting on the shelf for a long time, i thought it is time to give it a chance and update its system.
Is it capable of running batocera?
Where can I find a ready to burn image (any size) customized and ready to run all the capable systems with all the covers and box arts?
What are your recommendations to do a fresh start and begin using it again
I’ve enjoyed building but never started gaming using it.
At time I finished Anbernic released RG351m ?

first run no controller?

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 14:25:13 +0000

Hey everyone,
I need some help resolving an issue with my setup.
I have a 2022 board and a pi zero w. self soldered header.
The boot up is all going fine, but when it gets to the point that it should be running the first run controller setup screen it just stalls.
When i connect a keyboard and start emulationstation manually it says no controller detected.
I've gone through the wiki at (https://github.com/TheFlav/Freeplay_joys...ry_package) many times. Reformatted the SD twice thinking i did something wrong, but still the same result.
I've reseated the ribbon cable, and even inspected and resoldered some joints on the header pins just in case. (though i was using this pi and solder job on another project before i pulled it to put in this)

Here is what i'm seeing.

What's my problem?

Updating RetroPie/EmulationStation?

Sat, 16 Apr 2022 17:58:12 +0000

Hi, I'm one of the original backers of the Freeplay Zero and used whatever image was provided at the time the kit was delivered. It's been a few years now and Retropie has gone through a few versions. Is it possible to update the OS using the RetroPie setup menu? For other systems, this is allowed and just requires a patch to fix the output. Is that the case with the Freeplay Zero? Could I install or upgrade the base image and patch it? Any advice on keeping the underlying OS up to date or are stuck with the image from 2020?

Thank you.

Joystick Driver Chip not found CM3 Build

Sat, 16 Apr 2022 04:25:05 +0000

No matter what I do I can't seem to get the pi to recognize that I have the joysticks installed. I used the slim boxy pixel build and the triggers work perfectly but for whatever reason, my joysticks have no input despite being soldered and set up. I've tried following all the guides for setup on the tutorials from this website plus this video on setting up the config file.

Here's a copy of what I see when I run dmesg:

The main thing that stands out to me is the "Chip not found" part. I have no idea how to resolve this and can't find anything online for it.

Any help on figuring out what to do with this would be greatly appreciated.

Running the CM3 Board with a NON-LITE CM3

Fri, 01 Apr 2022 10:40:35 +0000

Howdy from Texas yall,

Just finished putting together a Boxy Pixel build and noticed the rpi board I ordered was a non-lite version of the CM3 board.
It has 4 gigs eMMC and I had no way of flashing it without purchasing another IO board to flash it.

This was frustrating as the website kind of sends mixed signals (though, it is ultimately my fault for not reading more carefully) so I sought a way to flash the modules I had ordered since everywhere I checked for a Lite seems to be out till next year.

Why does the CM3 board only use the lite versions of the CM3 module? I think it has to do with the pin out pointing to the SD card and not the on-board eMMC flash.
I found a few threads here stating that you can alter the board physically to get it to work but that's a pain.

Through some poking around, I found you can flash the eMMC of the CM3 via the Freeplay board itself.

Steps to flash eMMC of CM3 module for use in Freeplay CM3 board:
- Slot CM3 into powered down Freeplay board
- Install these drivers for Windows (https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot/r..._setup.exe)
- Once those are installed plugin your Freeplay board with the CM3 slotted to your Windows Machine
- Turn on the Freeplay board
- You should see windows "detect" and setup a device
- Once this is done run "RpiBoot" (installed when you installed the drivers above)
- You should see it start to spit out some text and then you should see the board show up as a drive in windows
- You can now use Rpi Imager or a similar program to flash the image to the eMMC

I did this with my stock CM3 and it seems to have worked out just fine save for the limited 4gb of storage.
Hope this helps! DM me if you have any questions!

If there is a thread that someone can lead me to for help, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, it may be worth nothing that upon reboot the welcome config menu shows up on the screen but none of my buttons seem to respond. I apologize if this is has already been solved on another thread. I am quite new at this kind of thing and while I am enjoying it, I seem to have hit a snag. Thanks for any and all assistance.

Installing DraStic DS emulator

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 01:03:56 +0000

took a little time today to try and get this DS emulator up and running on the IMAGE=Freeplay_CM3_20051201

some errors along the way but these steps helped me get there:

step 1
-------
usually found under `experimental packages`, the drastic downloader fails to install the pre-built binary:

`Error running 'tar -xv -z -C /opt/retropie/emulators/drastic --strip-components 1' - returned 2`

taking closer look at `RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/drastic.sh` shows installer to fail on function `install_bin_drastic()`. this in turn calls function `downloadAndExtract()` from script `RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/helpers.sh`.

so this identifies issue. i started at these funcs for a while and it appears this `helpers.sh` isnt parsing command-line args as expected.

step 2
--------
replace `helpers.sh` with latest from main: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroP...helpers.sh
replace `drastic.sh` with latest from main: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroP...drastic.sh

i kept the originals in home directory with some suffix like `helpers_orig.sh` and `drastic_orig.sh` for easy re-use.

step 3
-------
i tried running again: `sudo RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh drastic`.

this time new error:

`curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.

URL https://files.retropie.org.uk/archives/d...0.4.tar.gz failed to download.`

now it tells us what to do! so go and edit: `vi RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/helpers.sh`

and add-in the following line

```
params+=("-k")
```

BEFORE the `curl` command is called, i.e. before this line:

```
cmd_err=$(curl "${params[@]}" 2>&1 1>&3 | tee /dev/stderr)`
```

step 4
-------
downloader now succeeds:

will add a brief post below to get controller set-up because the default config isn't very helpful!

WIFI5 + BT Adapter Config

Fri, 28 Jan 2022 22:35:51 +0000

thought i would outline the steps it took to get an all-in-one bluetooth + wifi adapter working on a single USB port -- the goal being able to use both simultaneously. the exact device linked works great with my MiSTer so i thought why not try it with the freeplay CM3.

hardware: USB WiFi Bluetooth Adapter, 600Mbps Dual Band 2.4/5Ghz

< install drivers >

i used these instructions as follows:

sudo apt-get install bc
clone repo
install with dkms using executable: cd rtl8821CU/; sudo ./dkms-install.sh (<-- this takes several minutes)
implement 'make it permanent' section -- the default worked out-of-the box for me: `# Realtek 8211CU Wifi AC USB
ATTR{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTR{idProduct}=="1a2b", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -K -v 0bda -p 1a2b"`
sudo reboot

this got wifi component working successfully.

< fix BT: missing rtl8821a_config file >

unfortunately the bluetooth did not work out-of-the-box. doing `dmesg | grep -i blue` revealed that rtl8821a_config.bin file was not being loaded because it was not found.

using these instructions i replaced rtl8821a with rtl8821c, e.g.

cd /lib/firmware/rtl_bt

sudo wget http://sources.buildroot.net/linux-firmw...config.bin
sudo wget http://sources.buildroot.net/linux-firmw...21c_fw.bin

sudo mv rtl8821a_fw.bin rtl8821a_fw.bin.orig
sudo cp rtl8821c_config.bin rtl8821a_config.bin
sudo cp rtl8821c_fw.bin rtl8821a_fw.bin

sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot

(make sure to keep original rtl8821a_fw.bin.orig somewhere incase you need to undo anything)

< fix BT: change driver to rtk_btusb >

bluetooth still not being found

I: If#= 2 Alt= 0 #EPs= 5 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=rtl8821cu

so driver btusb is being loaded by the adapter and this isn't working. install correct driver rtl8821cu_bt using these instructions:

mkdir bt_build
cd bt_build/
git clone https://github.com/andydvsn/rtl8821cu_bt.git
cd rtl8821cu_bt
sudo make
sudo modprobe rtk_btusb
sudo reboot

this still didn't change driver so i used this post as motivation to get rid of all other custom bluetooth drivers so that the new driver can take over:

cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers
sudo mv bluetooth/ bluetooth_orig
sudo mkdir bluetooth
cd bluetooth_orig/
sudo cp rtk_btusb.ko ../bluetooth
sudo reboot

success! bluetooth adapter was being recognized:

Slim L2R2 dual analog 4ADC add-on issue

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 21:05:24 +0000

Just a warning, I am new to using retropie and to the forum. Sorry in advance if this issue has already been posted and resolved.

I recently assembled a CM3 with the L2R2 dual analog 4ADC add-on board. Everything went smooth until I got to the end and started setting up the software. I set up SSH and Putty on my computer to type in the necessary commands that were listed towards the end of the document linked below. I ran into fatal errors over and over again after typing the commands as shown. I'm using the most current CM3 image (Freeplay_CM3_20051201img.gz). Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate the help.

Is the scraper fixed yet?

I know I can add it all manually but that's a pain I have hundreds of games

Keeping save data

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 04:06:13 +0000

Howdy all! I'm going to be upgrading mine with the Zero 2 soon and am trying to figure out how to keep all of the save data so that I don't have to start all of my games over once the SD card is overwritten. Any tips? Thanks in advance!
