Errors and MAME files
no need to uninstall, since the files moved, the installer didn't grab anything. I'm looking for the post right now that has the fix

ah, then you need to run the installer. (check the forums though, the install files recently moved and our current built-in installer doesn't work right now)

Errors and MAME files
no there isn't a mame folder, it's the mame file. you are running the mame file with the -verifyroms flag, which means rather than running the main program, it just runs a check on the rom that you specify

That installer doesn't work for the new beta 8 (this was supposed to be a smooth rollout, then they sprung rpi2 with the new kernel on us). For right now, you should use this installer. wget pimame.org/update_beta.sh bash update_beta.sh That sh…

in command line, you can try this: /home/pi/pimame/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame -verifyroms 1943 you can replace '1943' with the name of whatever rom you want to check, just leave off the extension. You can also do something like this: /ho…

remove/add emulators to/from PiPlay
we are currently working on getting a bunch of bugs worked out that were introduced with the new kernel, then we will be focusing on upgrading and adding new emulators.

@spd118 - are you using the xbox control driver? because what you posted, I don't think will do anything. the down, left, and right are mapped to arrow keys. but A, B, and select aren't mapped to any real sdl value. If you want to test, y…

ARG! ok, I'm going to have to look into it some more. It runs through fine on my machine, so I think that there may be problems communicating with the new Kernel. @spd118 - the controller config is set to look at the button-up event, so pressi…

@tyrelever - what method did you use to connect your ps3 controller? I'll give it a shot and see what I can come up with.

Where has config.yaml gone?
yes, piplay is now database driven. If you access the web frontend, you can now edit config.db from there. Otherwise you will need an sql viewer that can handle sqlite format databases. The new location is /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/database/config…

you can call the mount point anything that you want. I called mine usb-drive. you are probably getting an error because it looks like I have an extra space in there between the '-' and the 'r'. It should just be:cd ~/pimame rm …

my bad. by doing it that way, it just saved the html page as pmcontrollerconfig.py. You need to go here then right click and click either 'save page as...' (firefox) or 'save as...' (chrome), then make sure that you save it as p…

@TheStrayMongrel, I use htop to view processes in command line. sudo apt-get install htop then just type 'htop' to run it. It gives tons of good info. Ok, so here is a confusing bit of info, that took me a while to figure out on my own. G…

You guys can try an update that I just posted to my repo. Right click on pmcontrollerconfig.py and then click 'Save link as...'. Then you need to copy it to your pi -> /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/pmmenu/

the easiest way is to create a symbolic link (symlink). It's basically like a shortcut. So you would do cd ~/pimame rm - r roms ln -s /path/to/flash-drive roms but first, I would make your system auto-mount your usb stick. it makes things way…

When you get the output 'Nothing to be done for all', that means that there have been no changes made to the target file and everything is already up to date. Have you made sure that the program is running? it is a modified version of retr…

The way that we have the controller config set up, it should only ever register 'hard' joystick movement and also only register buttons when they have been released to avoid false positives. so I'm really at a loss as to what is happe…

pimame menu will not launch on boot
I've heard that you can possibly burn out a diode on your pi if it draws too much power (I've never done it myself, but I've only ever tested with an active converter).

hmm... I have it working fine with a 3rd party wired xbox controller, keyboard, and gpio buttons. Can you have it run through the genesis config and then either post it or email it to me? the output file is saved in /home/pi/.dgen/dgenrc
