as of 8beta9, no. What you could do is make really wide transparent menu icons and then align the image on the right hand side of those icons. It wouldn't be a true 'right justified' since smaller screen resolutions would cut it off. …

Deleting roms
@isaaachaas4 - when you run into this problem, is it with one of the 'arcade'(mame4all/advmame/fba) emulators as well? It will help me narrow down this bug. The scraper handles console and arcade games separately.

PLAYER1- Button and COIN1-Button not working
in the piplay main menu you need to bring up the popup menu (tab). Then do 'Controller config'. I can't remember if fba has it's own option or if it gets set under the 'arcade' setting.

I haven't had a chance to throw it on my pi yet, but just going through the images that come with it, it looks pretty good. I like the background image!

piSNES second player KEYBOARD controls not working
I use gpio (which is keyboard) and usb joystick. I'm wondering if one of your buttons may be hard coded in as a reset key. It's been a while since I looked at that code, so I don't quite remember.

Some buttons not working using retrogame GPIO
they need to be labeled as 'KEY_UP' and 'KEY_SPACE'. If you already have them like that then can you post the configuration portion of retrogame.c? I'll take a look at it. (Also, what happens when you change those gpio mappi…

The automatic file addition is still being tested, you can always force it by running the rom scraper utility from the piplay main menu.

it's the same build as the one posted in the other thread, I'm guessing that something just went wrong when you built it. It's all good though. I'm hoping that this gets included in one of the updates soon, it seems to keep getti…

Audio Jack output no longer working since update
you need to do this: sudo nano /boot/config.txt then add this anywhere in the config hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1 save, exit, then restart This will tell the pi to ignore all digital audio output and default to the 3.5mm

download this and replace your /home/pi/pimame/emulators/pisnes/snes9x file with it. make sure that you set your permissions on that file to 755

ok, so different versions of mame run different romsets (different versions of the roms). -You can find the correct romset (hard to do, as these are based on much older/more stable versions of mame) or -you can use clrmamepro to convert your curren…

@Madcaddie - if files aren't showing up in advmame, try running the rom scraper manually from the main menu. Advmame and mame4all both require specific romsets to run correctly, check out this thread http://piplay.org/forum/discussion/comment/…

Questions for .8Beta9 on Raspi B+
yes, to make the scraping process more efficient, it sets a no_match flag to anything that it doesn't find a match for. The next time that the scraper is run, it first deletes any entries for games that have been deleted, then it tries to find …

Problems with scraper info?
@dollerbill, 1) All of the entries are stored on a local database on your machine rightnow. It's located in /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/database/games_master.db. So it's technically possible to go through and edit the entries, the problem…

problems using python idle3
no, you don't need to install anything, raspbian comes pre-installed with both python 2.7.2 and python 3.x. I think that you need to run idle from inside of X though. You can actually use any text editor to write python code. I use Notepad++ on…
