PiPlay 0.8 Beta 8 Testers Wanted (Not for faint of heart)
@Gavat4r - I have already fixed the controller config (as far as I am able to test without an actual xin-mo). It's just awaiting a merge into the repo. If you want to give it a shot, you just need to copy pmcontrollerconfig.py and pmcontrols.py…

you need to create the zxspectrum folder then. mkdir /home/pi/pimame/roms/zxspectrum

errno 21? can't play games...help please
yeah, it was a miss. I've already patched it. The beta_update script has commands to build the missing folders, that's why we never ran into that.

I'm not sure. That'd be a question for @SSilver2k2. Maybe he has an idea

@Pristopher - it sounds like yours didn't update correctly. the config.yaml shouldn't do anything anymore. it should be converted to the databases now (They are located in /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/database/)

no, the config file only ever gets overwritten if you run the controller config. Running a game or restarting your pi won't overwrite it.

@Pristopher - did you run the updater from inside piplay or did you use this method: wget pimame.org/update_beta.sh bash update_beta.sh if you used the latter, you should also be able to go into the web frontend and set mame4all and advmame to visi…

@mugo. yes, as of right now, some of the descriptions will be longer. If you find that the text is too large, you can edit the font size in each individual theme by editing /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/themes/theme_name/theme.yaml find 'info_fon…

@fsa317 - you could probably modify something like triggerhappy daemon I'm not very familiar with it, but on the surface it looks like it could be useful.

You need to go into /home/pi/pimame/emulators/pisnes/snes9x.cfg and manually change the settings

@fluxb0x - what emulator are you trying to get working with with 2 players?

mame roms not appearing on piplay after I download to home/pi/roms
there is a mame installer that needs to be run. Mame cannot be included in piplay for legal reason, but the installer can be. Run that, then the mame4all emulator will be available to you. clicking on that, will give you your list of games

Does PiPlay have any provision for launching a custom command prior to starting an emulator?
if you edit the 'command:' section for each emulator in the /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/config.yaml file, you can prefix your command to the original command. I believe that you just separate them with ' && '

Using 4 arcade stick USB controllers with PiPlay
it's pretty easy with *most controllers. There is a controller configuration script that you run, it will ask you to press up, down, left, right, and any other buttons that correspond to that emulator. *we do our best, but there are so many co…

yeah, right now we have been making so many changes, that we haven't bothered to keep up on documentation. The forums are the best way to get help.

@spacecowboy - have you taken a look at any of config files to see if they have actually changed? The ngpc and sega master system should both be located in '/home/pi/.mednafen/' and labeled as sms.cfg and ngpc.cfg
