piPlay and Ipac 2 - player controls not responding NES/SNES
The trackball problem is a known bug with any mouse inputs. I believe they said it will be fixed in the next update.

Samples for AdvanceMAME?
Maybe I'm missing something. I'm trying to load samples for AdvMAME as well, but I can't find an AdvMAME folder under emulators, only under ROMs. I have enabled hidden files and folders. Where is the samples folder for AdvMAME?

Thoughts and advice on connecting multiple input devices
I would recommend the Ultimarc I-Pac or Mini-Pac. Here are links to both: http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html http://www.ultimarc.com/minipac.html

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
I would like an option within the PiPlay GUI to rotate the menu to vertical. Ideally this option would also rotate all of the emulators as well, but those can be done individually if needed. Right now I just have the Pi itself rotated universally by…

+1 for scraping of sound samples and bezel/cabinet artwork.

dip switch settings not saving
I found a misc. free play setting that was set to yes and was apparently overriding individual game settings. Now some of my games aren't working though. I may have touched something I shouldn't have. I'll have to take another look at…

OK, I was trying to use the command line text editor like I do for the boot config file.

I finally got a chance to check this, and I could not find the advance folder in either location.

[Build Log] Raspberry Pi Classic Arcade MAME Cabinet - Custom Artwork
Thank you all! I went and picked up the cabinet in August I believe, so it's been about 10 months. There was a good bit of dead time in there though, probably only about 8 months of working on it. If I did another one, I could probably do it i…

well, it worked fine before i updated to 0.8, so I don't know. I'm not sure what @mholgatem means when referring to the config file.

Overclocking issues
@mholgatem - Could you explain how to expand the filesystem and split the ram like you mentioned?

I'm not sure what you mean. I was making the changes in the tab menu from within the Roms. When I restarted the ROM, none of the dip switch changes had saved.

Trackball and Spinner Not Working
OK. I had an idea right after my last post and tried it, and it worked! I unplugged my mouse. Apparentely, with my mouse plugged in all the time like I had it, AdvanceMame doesn't recognize the trackball or it sees it as a second player input …

Trackball and Spinner Not Working
Flipped wiring for trackball axis. Cursor now moves in correct direction in PiPlay menu. Still troubleshooting spinner. I think it may be a hardware issue. Tested mouse in Missile Command and Arkanoid and it works. Trackball still does not. Mouse i…

Trackball and Spinner Not Working
The flipped directions are in the PiPlay menu. I can flip the wires,but I am almost certain it is wired correctly. I didn't know if there was a place in the programing to reverse it. In mame games, the trackball is not working at all. It seem…

Trackball and Spinner Not Working
I would rather switch the wires if I have to change something physically. I would just prefer a software fix if possible.

Trackball and Spinner Not Working
Any ideas how to reverse each axis of the trackball in the PiPlay menu? Or enable analog control in a ROM? (Missile Command)

Comment by sadeter May 2014 permalink
Rotation
This worked great for me. It should probably be put in the FAQ, since the FAQ only gives info on rotating some of the front ends and not the new menu like this does.

MiniPac Not Accepting Address
So, I'm an idiot. After calling a friend, we figured out that I had wired every single switch to normally open instead of normally closed. After fixing all of those, everything now works fine.

MiniPac Not Accepting Address
Well, I just plugged the MiniPac into my laptop to test it, and it was not recognized. So, apparently the problem is with the MiniPac. Wonderful.

There is a green light that shows its getting power at least, but the Pi is just not recognizing it or something.

Graphical user interface instead of curses menu ?
Will this interface allow for screen rotation? I use a vertically oriented monitor and I hate that the emulator menu doesn't rotate.
