beta6 and nes isn't still working
try editing your /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/config.yaml file. Change the nes 'command' to this command: /home/pi/pimame/emulators/fceux/fceux -soundq 0

mame4all is completely independent of controller.yaml. The controller.yaml file is only for the piplay menu. What it sounds like to me, is that something is wired incorrectly. Was this a pre-built controller or did you wire it yourself? I don't…

@neigutten - That error is basically saying that the controller.yaml file is loading correctly into the 'contr' variable. The 'yaml' module is very temperamental when it comes to corrent indentation. Make sure that it looks somet…

How to configure the second player with beta6
it unfortunately didn't get pulled into the latest update. The coding in piplay is there, but the controller-config didn't get merged. :-(

ok, so controller.yaml is divided into 2 parts, joystick and keyboard. you will just deal with the upper portion (joystick). set "menu: 8" to set it to your home button. You shouldn't be messing with any of the parts that are undernea…

you can also manually edit the frontend controls by editing /home/pi/pimame/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame.cfg.

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
@azapatero - 1. That's a pretty excellent idea and shouldn't be too hard to implement. We are thinking about going to a true database to store the rom info, so as we do that, I'll keep this feature in mind. 2.Yes! There is a way to g…

MAME4ALL controls issue
in mame4all, press the 'tab' button to bring up a menu. You can then change your controls. can't wait to see your build!

version .7.10 is VERY old. you need to grab version .8beta3 or newer. Otherwise you have to configure EVERYTHING manually

you need to create a symbolic link. It's a bug that has been addressed and should be fixed in the next update, in the meantime you can do this. In command line, type this:rm -r /home/pi/pimame/emulators/mam4all-pi/roms ln -s /home/pi/pimame/ro…

This update is for all controller types, but mame4all is it's own beast. I'll look into it, to see if we can manually set the controls. I would imagine that it's possible.

it looks like you didn't get the theme.yaml file in there. You can go back to the default theme by editing '/home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/config.yaml' and set theme_pack: "default"

@krayzielilsmoki - we decided against doing something similar to that in order to keep the menu smaller. There is an option to 'hide system tools' which will hide anything that labeled as 'type: UTILITY' in the /home/pi/pimame/pi…

ooh, also a long awaited feature. After exiting an emulator, piplay will restart in the romlist for the system that you were in. more images have been added to final burn, the scraper will be able to find them after the update.

I just installed the new beta today and gave Shea my notes on what needed to be fixed (I'm not sure if he is going to re-compile it or just make a downloadable update). It's pretty much ready to go, just those last couple things.

Auto-load ROM and save file on boot
if you edit ~/.profile, you can add your script to auto run any of the emulators (check out /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/config.yaml, it lists all of the emulators along with the command required to run each one.) it looks like the entry for gameboy …

Why on Earth is Avancemame even on Piplay?
legally, we can't include it with the distro. But yeah, I agree. I like mame4all much better.

A few issues with PiPLAY 0.8.5
@MonkeyJamboree - it's happens when there aren't enough roms to fill the screen. I've already fixed it and it will be available in a day or two when the next release shows up :D

no worries, it's not super obvious. You need to edit /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/controller.yaml

If anyone wants to try out this theme, here's the link. I haven't tried it with multiple resolutions yet, so if it looks weird on your monitor, let me know (along with your resolution).
