Is it just me or is Mame4all broken after running update.sh?

Integrate some kind of GPIO driver. Something like https://github.com/mmoller2k/pikeyd

Thanks, glad you like it. I just used the wiring out of a serial cable, I think it is 22 or 24 gauge. I do Industrial Controls design so I have to deal with a lot of custom wiring all the time. The control panel is setup on my desk at work, we have …

[SOLVED] Getting my games into the ROM library.
I use SFTP to transfer files. You need to have your Pi hooked up to your network but it is really the way to go. http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier

Map the keys in all the emulators to use the MAME keyboard keys. I haven't had time to play with all the emulators but I just figured out how to map them for SNES9x.

[DEFERRED] Snes9X (remapping keys)
I found there is a better way to do this now. There is a config file snes9x.cfg at /home/pi/emulators/pisnes. I mapped in the A, B, X and Y buttons. Here is a snippet from my config file. [Keyboard] # Get codes from /usr/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h #…

[DEFERRED] Snes9X (remapping keys)
Good call. I checked there and there is no simple config as of yet. Here is what that forum said: KEYS: ~~~~~ These are the default keys. You can't reassign them without a recompile at the moment, sorry about that. SNES A: D SNES B…

Speed and Mame4All
Mame4All is definitely faster than Advmame, some games that were unplayable are running at 100% with slow downs here and there.

Speed and Mame4All
Some of the ROMs will work in both Advmame and Mame4all but for the games I am playing most of them won't. Advmame is based on v0.106b of MAME and Mame4all is based on v0.037b5 of MAME so the ROMs should be for those versions. There is a progra…

Thanks I'll try that. As of now I can't run it from the command line.

Maybe a stupid question but how do install Mame4all without going through the store?

On windows you can use clrmamepro to convert roms to a particular version.

Thanks for all the work you have put into this. Looking forward to the updater.

Budget USB joysticks that work "out of the box" with PiMAME?
Hey bh1644, I bought an arcade joystick off of Amazon and I think it is the one you are looking at. It has usb and a PlayStation 2 connector. I works with the rpi, just had to map the buttons and joystick. I have had an issue with it occasionally w…

AdvanceMAME version
Sorry I don't know how to do it on Linux, I had to run it on my work laptop because I run Mac at home. Wine might work or if you have a windows virtual machine for running the odd windows program.

AdvanceMAME version
Yeah the roms should be for MAME v0.106. You can use clrmamepro to convert your roms to that version and a lot more roms should work for you.
