Pikeyd165, Rpi4, Pi2Jamma and RetroPie

Some people ask me about Linux voodoo for starting pikeyd165 on a rpi4 with pi2jamma and retropie

Here it is 

Download RetroPieRGB from git and copy it to the boot folder.

Start up system, press F4 to go to shell.

sudo cp /boot/RetroPieRGB/etc/pikeyd165.conf /etc

cd /boot/RetroPieRGB/usr/local/bin

sudo ./pikeyd165 -d

Put into auto start somewhere.

Don't forget to alter config.txt with hdmi_timings stuff.

Have in mind that this is for the DIY guys. Use ready to go distribution where possible

For Auto starting pikeyd165

sudo cp /boot/RetroPieRGB/usr/local/bin/pikeyd165 /usr/local/bin

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Use text editor to add sudo pikeyd165 -d in first line

Additional notes

Compatibility note: these shell commands were written for an older RetroPieRGB/Pikeyd165 file layout. Package versions and boot paths change, so verify the current instructions from the software maintainers before running commands with sudo. The current Pi2Jamma v2 page lists its present Raspberry Pi support and software notes; that does not guarantee this historical Pikeyd165 procedure still applies.
