PJ Features and Additional Information

Important: This adapter does not come with a raspberry Pi unit. You will need to provide your own.

Here’s a quick summary of PJ's features:

• Inexpensive.
• Works on all Pi devices with a 40 pin header (no Pi 1 A models unfortunately)
• Low latency control hardware – joystick and button status updates each frame.
• Straight, one step digital to analog, video and sound conversion for a clean picture and sound.
• Native video resolution – no scaling or shimmering artifacts with standard res games.
• Zero latency video – one step digital to analog conversion, no scaler buffering required. 
• Power monitoring and reporting.
• Auto shutdown on brownout (with a super capacitor bank) will not chew up your SD card. Just turn off your arcade machine and walk away.
• Images for major Retropie releases will be provided.
• Opensource drivers and configuration for more customization.
• Plugs into JAMMA with SF2 kick harness support.
• All IO done through GPIO header. Nice and clean with no messy wires.
• Old skool, through hole design with IC sockets for easy repair and troubleshooting.

Currently, three distinct images are provided for this adapter. One, multi system image based on RetroPie, and 2 minimalist images with AdvanceMame, one of which is intended to behave like a single arcade PCB, and the one with a minimalist launcher.

Other linux images can be used as long as the provided drivers are installed and the system is configured to output video and sound through the proper interface.
