This update adds support to Bitpixel/Pixelcade.

Prerequisite

  • ALU 1.0
  • Firmware 4.15 or lower
  • A quality USB Type A to A cable
  • One saUCE
  • Bitpixel

Upgrade Steps

  1. Patch the system
    Download AddOn_Pixelcade_Patch.uce to USB and launch it once.
    It will show "Loading..." on the screen then it seems nothing has happened. This is normal.
    NOTE This only needs to be done once. Then you can safely delete this UCE.
    What this does is to set up proper permission for the guest user to access the Bitpixel through USB.

NOTE: If you have later versions of data.bin and RetroFE UCE, skip step 2 and 3.

  1. Download data.bin and put it in USB:\content\retrofe\ folder.
    You can backup the original data.bin there just in case.

  2. Download AddOn_RetroFE_20210711.uce to USB and launch it.

At this point, you should be able to see the Bitpixel displaying game titles in text, but no graphical logos.
To enable graphical logos, follow these steps:

  1. Create a led_marquee folder in each game collection folder, under medium_artwork folder.
    For example, for the MAME collection, create the folder USB:\content\retrofe\collections\MAME\medium_artwork\led_marquee.

  2. Put .gif or .png files into the led_marquee folder.
    You can find a great collection of them at https://github.com/alinke/pixelcade (Thanks Al!).
