I am using a Pi1 and would love if you could expand on this explanation. My Pi LCD screen has no back lighting, is that related at all? I have looked at all the solder points and I don't see any bad connections.*** IMPORTANT *** It's come to my attention that The Pi1 and Pi1B+ use different port number than the Pi2 and Pi3 such that Pi force tools wont see the Pi Plate unless it's changed. If you're using the latest Pi Force tools with Pi2 or 3 you should be fine, but if you're running the newer Pi Force Tools on an older Pi then you may need to modify the port numbering specified in the header of the .py files
I don't have any experience with this personally but there are some details in the troubleshooting section of the official Pi-Force tools page: https://github.com/travistyoj/piforcetoolsI am using a Pi1 and would love if you could expand on this explanation.

I'm trying the web version on an RPiv1 with the suggested WG111v3 and it's not Detecting the Wifi Adapter. anyone have any luck working with this?I recently came across a couple of new Options for Net-Booting with a Pi:
http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30248
Both of these options allow you to use use a Pi for net-booting without the Pi-Plate LCD (so cost reduction and less work).
one allows you to select/change games from your phone by connecting to the Pi over Wi-Fi
the other allows you to setup an SD card with just 1 game so if you wanted to setup your NAOMI with a dedicated game you could do that (would be a much cheaper alternative than an CF setup)
that is certainly the most "compact" way to power the Pi but as others have said you can just us a micro USB phone charger plugged into a wall or some other Pi power adapter plugged into a normal outlet to power the Pi.I just picked up a Naomi 2 Net Dimm and Raspberry Pi setup but the only thing I'm missing is the power cord/supply for the Pi. In reading the thread, it sounds like the best method to power the Pi is to use a Micro-USB cable and crimp on a 4-pin JST NH style connector to plug into the Naomi itself. I don't have the capability to do this, does anyone know of where I can purchase a cable that has been modified for this? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
