Thumby / Re: Original Thumby... In Colo...

That's a really cool mod. I didn't realize those small color screens from AliExpress were close enough in size to work with the Thumby like that. Seeing Doom running with color on such a tiny device is pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing the GitHub link too—going to check out the code and see how it was adapted. Really fun project!

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN

I know right?     I think it could also allow for two player by controller and link cable. (switch of course) And the thumby-64 (that's what I'm calling it now) could connect to the TinyTV too! There could also be game canisters so you don't have to directly upload to the thumbys!

Same for me. Are you running the Thumby Color version, or the Thumby version? Because on the OG Thumby version, I got the splash screen, and it froze.

So who's with me? It would have to be a lot bigger (like the size of my palm probably), but I vote that theres a thumby switch. I also think it would be cool (if we wanna keep going with ideas) to have a Nintendo 64 style (first or after, IDC) version. I think that theese would be really cool, who's with me?

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Tiny TV 2 seems to be bricked ...

Last post by wowbobwow - March 10, 2026, 06:49:52 PM

Long story short: my beloved Tiny TV 2 started freezing partway through any video I played - videos which have worked fine for over a year. I figured it'd been a while since I did a firmware update, so I went through the firmware update process... and now it just boots to a black screen. It's fully charged and I can see that the backlight is on, but otherwise it's totally non-responsive.

I've also put it into DFU mode (holding the Reset button + tapping Power) and I can update the firmware using the "manual update" process, but when the updater says that the Tiny TV should reboot, it briefly restarts and re-mounts the RPI-RP2 partition but otherwise is just hung on the backlit-but-black screen again.

What do I do now?

I'm in the same jam with my Tiny TV 2! When I power it on, the backlight illuminates but nothing is onscreen. Connecting to my PC shows the internal RasPi partition with the same two files you noted, but it doesn't show up in the Updater tool and the internal SD card doesn't appear either. How do I get my gadget back to normal??

I sadly can't figure out how to use audio. I tried adding a bgm but I have no clue how to get it to play.

TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: TinyTV 2 Stuck On Static

Last post by alicesphere - March 10, 2026, 10:24:10 AM

Hey! We ran into something similar with ours—try doing a full power cycle first (turn it off, unplug it, and let it sit for a minute before turning it back on). If that doesn't work, there's usually a tiny reset pinhole on the back or bottom you can press with a paperclip to factory reset it. That cleared the static issue for us, so hopefully it does the trick for your son too!

Where can I find the reset button on the tinyTV2?

It's on the back of the device

Thumby / Thumb Commander

Last post by Tobyzafa - March 08, 2026, 12:21:20 AM

Thumb Commander will not work on my stock Thumby Color. What am I missing? Are there any plugins I need to get this up and running?
