Hi,
I recently rebuilt my Kickstarter Picade Maxi.
It has one of the new PCBs (not the Picade X-HAT) and a new loom in it.
It all fits together fine, except for me I had to build the ground loom from scratch, as the Maxi has eight buttons on the control panel, rather than the normal six.)
(I used the ‘spare’ top two buttons to control the volume, which if memory serves me correctly the original Kickstarter versions did not have buttons for.)
Oh, and the new board will need to be secured somehow too; the screw holes are in a slightly different position.
Hope that helps,
Simon.
btw: where did you find the hex file to flash the original Kickstarter board, I’d love to have a look at it, as I reflashed and bricked my board and need the original.
