@racoonfrenzy - that was just fceux, the nes emulator. I've had someone else just email me saying that they are having trouble with it too. I'm wondering if my 2 player version didn't get merged. try this: download my PiSNES Repo Insi…

Beta 7 is up
@pupsihh - I imagine you are using a joystick or other non-keyboard device? For some reason, when they wrote the emulator, they made it so that certain hotkeys only work with keyboard. I've been searching for source code, so that I can change i…

Beta 7 is up
@racoonfrenzy - the changelog popup wont work yet (we need to modify the update script to write a flag file, easy fix though). But I'm glad to hear that the snes games are working better for you. we have been working hard to implement a ton o…

MAME4All not found
@Conno123009 - Nice! I never would have thought of that.

you will need to play around with framebuffer_widtd/framebuffer_height settings to find some that work for you. also, if you are using an hdmi to vga adapter, it needs to be a powered adapter (the power should be coming from somewhere other than you…

when the updates come out, controller config will update NES for you, you shouldn't need to do anything.

The code is all written and sitting in my repo. It just needs to be merged into the main.

We've made a bunch of changes to fix problems that people have been having. I'm hoping that they get pushed in an update very soon.

How to configure the second player with beta6
The controller setup on the main screen grabs a list of controls (determined by which platform you choose), runs through each of the controls and maps them, then it will ask if you want to configure controller 2 (if it's supported). After that,…

contoller problem
I just realized that you are probably using joystick. That doesn't work right now with the controller configuration. I contacted a user on the boards who has successfully configured them for joystick input to get a copy of his configuration fil…

Beta6 Menu Icon refresh Issue
Cool. Glad to hear. I fixed the code, so it should be good in the next update.

Beta6 Menu Icon refresh Issue
I think that I know what the problem is. Try opening your popup menu ('tab key') and enabling "scene FX". That should fix it. I'll take a look at the code in a bit, but we recently changed from updating the entire screen per…

Digital - Analogue Changes on HDMI
I just found something that is very relevant. Only use a converter that has an external power supply! On converting hdmi/vga, the display will try to draw current through your hdmi, which can burn out your hdmi. Check out this posting

beta6 and nes isn't still working
ChrisW and I have been working on fixing the problem. We found that when he went straight hdmi (no vga converter) to a tv, then it worked no problem. We are now trying different solutions (via changing resolution) to try and fix the problem.

Digital - Analogue Changes on HDMI
You guys can take a look at this wiki page to get more info on config.txt (specifically, about 1/3 of the way down, look for the hdmi_group and hdmi_mode sections for more info)

Digital - Analogue Changes on HDMI
@higgy, did you switch to vga mode in your config.txt? set: hdmi_group=1 hdmi_mode=1 you may also need to set: hdmi_force_hotplug=1 The problem with hdmi to vga converters is that they don't usually send the signal back through the hdmi lett…

Problem with beta 8 & mame4all... getting python error... don't know how to resolve.
actually, the boxart_offset doesn't do anything right now (it used to, but got disabled with this last update). It just auto centers itself inside of the boxart container. I'm planning on implementing game descriptions underneath the boxar…

Problem with beta 8 & mame4all... getting python error... don't know how to resolve.
@slbailey - Hey there! I wrote the draw_boxart module, so I know what's going on. I didn't take into consideration that the romlist might take up the whole screen and create a negative area for the boxart picture. The way that it figures t…

Scraper Does Not Find Images (mame4all)
@scottbaiowulf - The format for the mame4all roms has changed, I'm guessing that you haven't upgraded to the latest version yet. I changed the format from .png to .jpg, but the old scraper still looks for the .png files (which are now miss…

New Update?
We have to implement our database first, but then I'll start writing the code to pull descriptions

@ChrisW, are you running NTSC or PAL roms?

@ChrisW - Are you running piplay from inside of the 'X' os or is it command line? Also, what kind of setup do you have going (hdmi, joysticks, gpio, etc)
