Total = 954 pix's =)
I added your PIX. Most of them are new, 15 are "alt1" and one is "alt2".
Please update the Google sheet as well.
Friend, I did not update the Google Sheet because I found it very confusing and disorganized.
Just Easy, search for the corename and add a „yes“ to the i2c2oled column.
Picture Repository updated with 35 Pictures made by Marcelo.
Many Thanks 
We have now 1001 
Pictures in the Repo (including 126 alternatives).
Great work!
Hey!
I've recently acquired a MiSTeR fpga and it came with a small OLED display that blocked one the USBs. Digging into how that display worked, I found i2c2oled and the rotate option. Lo and behold, I can now use that USB but due to how it was installed, it was easier to rotate the display contents and block the secondary SD card (which, from my research isn't of much use... at least not for me at the moment).
But that chunk of yellow lines at the beginning kinda bothered me. Researching, I found that it's quite easy to change the contents of the .pix files. I did that and here is the result:
So I created a little Python script that can edit and properly save a new pix file, which I called a rotated file.
I'm not sure how much interest there is in this, but I can make the script or even the pix files available after finishing it.
Hi,
nice to see you got it working, looks not bad.
I never saw the two color display mounted that way, yellow was on top everytime.
Maybe another solution for you is to use an one-color version of this display.
Anyway, if you like to post your python script here I will add it as a tool to the repository.
If there are more user need rotated files we can maybe add a build process into the picture repository.
Please post a picture of your full case if you like.
Cheers 
Well, I ended up creating a GitHub repository! Here it is, I added both the Python script and the .pix files I rotated.
I bought a MiSTer FPGA kit and it came with a pretty standard aluminum case:
Yeah, the display was included in the MiSTer kit I bought.
The case is simillar to this one, but the MiSTer logo is colored.
But I didn't get from Aliexpress, I got from a local seller which sold a bundle with the DE10 Nano, all the boards, memory, the case, the oled and an SD card with everything already setup.
The only changes I did were rotating the OLED and installing the software new in a bigger SD card.
I do intend on getting an ITX case as I was drooling over some of the cases people use.
So, first of all, I noticed that when I tried using the N64 core, there was no logo on the oled screen. So I started cooking something up. It's not the best, but a first attempt nonetheless. Since the forum didn't agree with the .pix extension, I added a .txt extension. Just remove it. I did both versions, regular and my newly rotated ones.
What is your usual workflow to create a proper logo? I opened a B&W image from google on Gimp, changed to indexed color b&w, and changed the height to 46 pixels. But I think it sould be less than 46, since it seems to be too close to the bottom part. After that, I saved as XPM and then used the XPMToPIX program from venice's github. Any tips on resizing or something?
Btw where are the new templates? I got one from this thread, on page 1 I think, but the banner part was a little different.
Another thing I noticed is that, in the loading screen, the loading animation isn't in the loading bar. Where can I change the position of the loading animation?
Some templates are here
https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_i2 ... _Templates
I use Gimp for recoloring and resizing
and Windows Paint for finalizing.
After that I use Gimp to created the XPM and XPMtoPIX to created the Pix.
Picture size must be 128x64.
I will look for the loading screen, but give me some time for this.
And I found N64 Pix!
Regarding your Rotated Loading Screen:
As you moved the 16 Pixel header from the top to the bottom,
the Loading Text and Frame must be moved 16 Pixels down as it sit‘s too high.
Re: i2c2oled (little brother of tty2oled)
Hello friend venice, look at me back again with new "PIX" hugs!
Hey guys, bit of a novice here looking for help. Studying the picture on page 2 and looking at my RTC (v1.3) soldering the ground and data lines seems doable, but I'm wary of soldering the connection for power to the RTC. The power terminal has 3 contacts on it with the picture pointing to the one in-line with the "U2" printed on the board. But each contact is <1 mm across, how do you avoid soldering the whole terminal together?
Sorry if I missed some important post somewhere, maybe there's a simpler solution I've overlooked, if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate some guidance even if it's "git gud at soldering" lol.
Also, my dupont wires have straight end pins that fit the RTC but they won't provide enough clearance to avoid the adjacent board, am I good to bend the pins 90 degrees before soldering them in place or would it be better to snip and strip the ends off, do it that way? Thankful for any advice.
Maybe you can ask a friend for help.
Or sell your RTC Board 1.3 and use the RTC Board 1.4 as this Board has the additional Power Pin on the Pin Header.
Or think about to use one of other display projects.
Thank you Venice! I went ahead and got a purple v1.4 board from Ultimate Mister. I'm referencing Hardware_MiSTer/releases/rtc_1.4.pdf from Github, but I want to be absolutely sure about the wiring here, is this correct?
Looks good.
I've got everything wired up, double and triple checked it to be sure it was right. I downloaded the i2c2oled script and ran it, but I'm not getting anything on the screen. I'm in the console to get the right bus address, it is Bus 2 as i2c_gpio. But when I type i2cdetect -y 2, the graph is empty, just dashes. What does it mean?
edit:
Maybe a stupid question, does the RTC need the battery in it for the OLED to function?
Hi,
more infos please…
-Output of „i2cdetect -l“
-Is the display one which can be modified between SPI and I2c. If yes is it correct set?
-Pictures of both connected ends (display and rtc)
-Do you use the original nano board?
-Could you (or a friend) test the display with another system (arduino etc.)?
-Could you measure the Voltage at the Power Pins of the RTC
-Could you measure if power is provided to the display. If yes how much do you measure?
-Maybe a cable is broken, please test
-Provide Pictures of the Display, both sides please
The battery is only to keep the RTC running if the MiSTer is powered off.
Hello my friend Venice, I'm in an ambitious project restoring and creating +2,000 HD marquees from Arcades to use as a second screen on the Batocera v40, I'm already 70% into production, so I would like to place the Marquees exactly like you did here "https://venice1200.github.io/MiSTer_tty2oled_Pictures/" would it be possible for you to help me?
The great pixviewer was created by mr-fitzie.
Try to get in contact with him.
If you don't want to use an additional RTC module just to wire up the display, here's the pinout to directly hook it up:
A simple 2mm pitch 2-row connector (14 pins total) is a direct fit for the port, i.e. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006109123910.html.
