ok, I'll have to see if I can track down a composite video cable and duplicate this.

ok. so after making the changes, is any boxart/game info popping up in the rom list?

@eddy761, @jreisinger82 - It's kind of a shot in the dark, but can you give this a try? you will need to edit /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/pmmenu/romlistscene.py Line # 403 looks like this: if self.info_container.w: self.boxart_thread = thread.s…

yeah, I'm starting to think that it has something to do with the video. We are looking into it.

Audio issue and my solution
in /boot/config.txt, try adding: hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1

New update IS HERE! .8BETA9!
@Evozero - you could just do mv /home/pi/pimame/roms /home/pi/roms then rm -rf /home/pi/pimame run the installer, then mv the rom folder back

host is your pi's ip address, username: pi, password: raspberry, you don't need to set the port. If the port is empty, it'll just use the default port.

That might be the source of your problems, but I'm not really sure. you may try just using an ftp client. they are more forgiving when it comes to transferring files.

40-pins GPIO and joysticks
That means that there are no changes to the source since the last build (which is included) 'make' is the same thing as 'make all', or basically build everything. Since there is only one file to build in this case, it is the sam…

MAME installation problems in Piplay
@albill (and others having this problem) - it may not be an installation error. What kind of setups do you guys have? Anyone using a touchscreen or unconventional way of getting sound?

hmm... is your pi on a wireless or wired connection?

I just tested with Firefox, IE, and Chrome. All 3 were able to upload both with drag 'n drop and dialogue box (test file was 25.2MB) without any problems. I'll ask Shea about the 'Server responded with 0 code', is there any other…

piplay exits out when i open a menu
what type of controller are you using? does it happen with all of the emulators?

40-pins GPIO and joysticks
@KFJ1972 - It's still the same thing, you just have extra pins to use. You need to edit the retrogame.c file (near the top is an array of pins an corresponding keystrokes to send when those pins get activated) You can connect as many joysticks …

@enlischdude - have you expanded your filesystem and set your memory split (via raspi-config)?

Hiss on audio, but only when nothing is playing and the sound is active
nice EkDor! I didn't even know that was an option for the boot config

Deleting roms
@enlischdude - If you have deleted the roms and then run the scraper, they should disappear, but if they don't, you can run the scraper from the command line with the following flag: python /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/scraper/scrape-script.py …

MAME installation problems in Piplay
@tgonzalez, @gamdeano - The "Fatal Python error (pygame parachute) segmentation fault" usually means that pygame is not correctly installed. I've never had anyone run into this until today (3 people today). First off, I recommend usin…

Hiss on audio, but only when nothing is playing and the sound is active
@EkDor - it's mostly (but not completely) the 3.5 audio output that causes the noise. The reason that you don't hear it in terminal, is that it automatically turns off the audio until it is needed. The way that PiPlay works (more specifica…

mame4all is an exception to the controller setup utility. it has it's own built-in controller setup. When you run a game, you need to press 'tab', then you can set up controls.

@eddy761 - ok, then that means that pygame didn't get installed correctly. pygame is a python library that we use pretty extensively. You may need to do a clean install of piplay to fix this, but before you do, give this a shot:in the command …

@TheStrayMongrel - you can do this in command line to get the updated version of the formatter: wget -O /home/pi/pimame/controller-setup/formatters/advmame.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mholgatem/controller-setup/master/formatters/advmame.py

@beta_test, yes, it's true. that is how the controller setup tool works. You can modify the formatter itself though ->/home/pi/pimame/controller-setup/formatters/advmame.py

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
@EkDor - A lot of the rotation and things would be pretty hard for us to manage on a per user/game basis. By user theming, do you mean creating a theme in piplay, or on the forums? If you mean in piplay, then YOU CAN! It has always been my hope tha…
