What is this?

It's a working image of CCC for a Raspberry Pi 4. Mostly put together by a guy named Mike from the UK, that I made some changes to in order to try to make it hassle free. Just write the image and go.

What do I need to use this?

A Raspberry Pi, A PROC Board, and an original Bally Cactus Canyon - that's the basics. You'll probably also want an LCD screen and an audio amp.

How do I use this?

The Basics

Write the image to a micro SD, put it in a RPI4, connect it to a PROC via USB and power everything up. If everything is connected correctly, it should run the game. That's it.

Optional Details

To get the color display, you need an LCD - like the Pinball Life Homebrew LCD. To get good audio, you'll need a basic amp. The audio is mostly mono, so you can book up the left & right channels together of you want to use the built in speakers.

How Do I write the image to a micro SD Card?

You'll need whatever adapter connects the MicroSD card to your computer and something to write the image. I like the official Raspberry Pi Imager, you just scroll to the bottom of the OS options for using your own image.

How to power the Raspberry Pi

You can get power to the raspberry pi however you'd like. The service outlet with a RPI power adapter is one way, but it will stay on all the time. I power mine off the unregulated 12v from the power driver board and attach it to the GPIO on the RPi so that the RPi turns on and off with the game.

How to align the color display

On the RPI, the "Y Offset" setting (in standard settings) will move the display up (lower number) and down (higher number) one pixel at a time, so you can adjust it to whatever looks best for you. Changes are only visible after a restart however.
