32" HDTV - larger resolution
on my hdtv I had to change some settings on the tv itself in order to get it to fill the screen completely. Most notably, in my 'size' options, there was one setting called 1:1, that made everything nearly fill the screen.

interlock gpio buttons in piplay?
yes. retrogame will just run in the background of your system, you won't even know it's there.

interlock gpio buttons in piplay?
If you have buttons connected to your gpio, you need a program to watch for button presses and turn it into keyboard commands. retrogame will do that for you and then piplay will work.

if you mean combo buttons, check out either ian57's github repo or mine

pisnes should be the same way. select + start pressed by player 1 should exit the emulator. It's a value that is hardcoded in. if (which1==0 && (val & SNES_SELECT_MASK) && (val & SNES_START_MASK)) S9xExit();

I'm not sure what you mean by interlock some buttons, but you should check out adafruits retrogame

Joysticks, buttons and encoder
you just need female to whatever jumper wires. They come like 40 to a pack. The ipac2 is nice though.

Joysticks, buttons and encoder
That looks to be a xin-mo encoder. Which is alright, can be a bit tricky with two players but most of the emulators that we use can handle it. Personally, I am a fan of using the gpio. it can be a little intimidating at first (before this project,…

I can try and help you out. Can you install and run jstest then post what each button outputs? Check out this post if you don't know how to install and run jstest: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19900&p=450651

Single player cabinet, used for The Simpsons
First, please don't post links to any roms or websites that host roms. Second, there is a two player version of that game that allows you to choose your character. No reason to re-invent the wheel, right? :D

Need Help: Retrogame controls working correctly in menus but not in emulators
These are actually the wrong forums to be asking in, these are for the PiPlay/PiMame platform. For retropie, you should check out the forums here. Their setup is quite a bit different from our own when it comes to config files. I hope this helps! :)

Joysticks/buttons not responding in games (maybe xin-mo troubles)
mame4all has to be configured separately by pressing 'tab' while running a game. I was told that there was a whitespace issue with the advMame setup that should be resolved with the next update

Nicely done! Where'd you get the cabinet that the hardware went into? Does the marquee light up?

Trouble with launching Mame from the menu
That means that it is not seeing any roms in the specified folder. by default it is set to /home/pi/pimame/roms/whatever. You can change it by editing /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/config.yaml

Button Mapping Advice
esc, enter, and menu are pretty much my main ones. I set my arcade so that player 2 buttons are mapped to 'e','x','i', and 't' so that if something goes wrong, my son can get back into piplay from the command …

I have tried my best to make it so that you can handle everything inside piplay without a keyboard. you can press 'tab'/joystick button 3 in the piplay main menu to change the volume and access other functions. That being said, I totally e…

Retrolink SNES controller and SNES Emulator crash
if you press 'tab' or button3 in the piplay main menu, you can just run the controller config app. But otherwise, you can get to it at /home/pi/pimame/emulators/pisnes/snes9x.cfg

snes emulator quits on controller X?
yeah, that was my bad. The formatter should be set so that the default button is something like '999' so it doesn't accidentally coincide with real buttons. I'll try to make sure that this gets fixed in the next update. Glad it&#…

That's awesome! I was thinking of doing something similar so that I can bring it over to my parents place for all of the kids.

snes emulator quits on controller X?
ahh, I see. it looks like the default config maps exit to the 0 key to exit. Did you run the controller config (press 'tab'/button 3 in piplay main menu)? If you did that already, then I'm guessing that you may have used the keyboard …

yeah, the problem with the yaml file format is that incorrect spacing can screw it all up. I think in the very near future we are going to move everything to a database.

Configuring FCEUX
it mirrors ascii to an extent. For all of the keys you need to check out the SDL_keysym.h file If you j-pac emulates key-presses, why don't you just use the controller config (press 'tab' in the piplay main menu)? If you that doesn&…

snes emulator quits on controller X?
is your controller mapped to keyboard keypresses or does it register as a joystick? pisnes has 2 different sections in it's config file, depending on keyboard/joystick. I image that something is just mapped wrong. according to the pisnes source…
