Waveshare Game HAT: Does yours Sound OK? My Game Hat has really odd sound out of the speakers, like maybe they had some odd simulated extra wide stereo sound circuitry (like some boom boxes had back in the 80s). This Game HAT will turn your Raspberry Pi into a classic game console in a second, recalls you all the gaming pleasures in the memory. 3.5inch IPS screen, 480×320 resolution 60 frame experience, smoothly display, no more frame loss Compatible with Raspberry Pi A+/B+/2B/3B/3B+ (Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W/Zero WH requires another HDMI cable). In this video, I take a look at the all-new WaveShare Game Hat for the Raspberry Pi 3 3 B+ or the Pi Zero. This is a very easy kit to make a portable Handhel.
I got a Raspberry Pi 1 B+, 2014 v1.2 board, and I was trying to attach it to Waveshare's Game hat. The main issue which I have is, the raspberry board has 4 dead GPIO pins (tested using pigpio), 10,11,25 and 26.Pin 10, 11 and 25 are not in use by Game hat, as per the Game hat manual, here Everything is working fine with the hat, but some keys are not working which may be due to the dead GPIO.
