  Define UDEV rules for SYS2X6 USB Dongle:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.) Create and edit file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-sys2x6.rules

2.) Add contents:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6015", ATTRS{product}=="SYS2X6 USB DONGLE", MODE="0666"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6015", ATTRS{product}=="SYS2X6 USB DONGLE", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo $kernel > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ftdi_sio/unbind'"

3.) sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

OK so now that I look at it and the readme, I don't understand any of this...

1) Is this done on the raspi sd card or the dongle?
2) Is this something I can do through windows?

I was half asleep when I replied this morning, for some reason I thought you were making your own menu/build on raspbian, not using the pre-made one.

Try a different USB cable and ignore the readme details I posted

 

[BladeZX]

That should all be there on the SD card image
Make sure you use a proper usb that has the data wires connected - some only have power connected and used a charging cable

Ok I’ll try a couple other cables

Ha thanks I was about to uh try to learn Linux

Have tried several cables now, including ones that I used to connect to the dongle on my laptop, and I still get the exact same error, so I don’t think it’s the cable.

Doesn’t seem to be a cable problem. Maybe the pi unit?? I don’t know but i think I’ve tried everything else

@BladeZX is there a way running a command from the Pi that can tell if it sees brizzo's card?

 

[BladeZX]

@mathewbeall Not sure about that
Maybe @brizzo can help with this one

 

[brizzo]

Yeah, use:

./sys2x6_host info

Do you just drop the chd files right on the usb flash drive? No need to create an iso?

You have to extract the CHD files into .iso files (DVD) or bin/cue (CD).

So I got everything set up I had to get a rpi4 hoping it would work. I plugged in the rpi to test before I hooked up to a machine but the screen just gets like.. unbelievably hot

Edit : Amazon sent me the wrong fkn screen vcc and ground are swapped

And do I need the 12/5v line plugged into ode I’m assuming

 

[mathewbeall]

You actually don’t need the Molex plugged in - the rpi can power the ODE with no issues. I assume you have a 246? Since the selector pins aren’t hooked up.

which rasp pi did you use?

 

[Usukane]

which rasp pi did you use?

4

I got another screen was wrong again..

This is what I got. Acted like it wanted to start then just blank screen

It’s a 256 gonna hook up the pins when I get the proper screen.

Do I need to update idr or the dongle at all?

 

[mathewbeall]

does the 256 boot up w/o all the Rpi hooked up? Did your system come with any games ?

The Rpi is used to program the dongle and then to mount the correct ISO image on the dongle.

I would make sure your 256 is working correctly first before complicating the setup with this.

Yea I have some games I’ll double check operation but worked when I last had it hooked up

Ok made “some” progress confirmed working with my dragon ball dvd


So I hooked the multi rig back up had a 256 mode error swapped the jumper then got to the (notice screen) thought it was all good but then it just goes to black screen after countdown. I wanted to try another game but without the screen a little difficult. I’ll wait till the screen arrives and get the 256/246 plug installed to the multi

 

[mathewbeall]

you know you can also join the wifi of the raspbi and select games, etc. from there?
