what display is everyone using
Hi there! I'm using a DeskArcade with a 17" VGA TFT monitor and a stand cabinet with a 19" DVI TFT monitor. Don't think this helps, Sorry! BUT I have also a 7" display for testing: http://www.pollin.de/shop/dt/NzUwOTc4OTk-/…

MAME - not listing ROMS ?
Hey nachito, Have you checked in the web frontend if the ROMs appear in the database? If not, that might be the reason. Have a look at the output of the scrapper if there is an issue with accessing the database file.

Hello Yuppicide, For your first question - I don't know the XArcade stick - but when it is emulating a keyboard, you'll get into trouble when a second keyboard is connected. It's simply not working. Try to prevent the Raspian Desktop…

MAME - not listing ROMS ?
Have you checked that the ROMS are uploaded in the right folder? Make sure your PiPlay is connected to the internet and give the ROM Scraper a go. Maybe it sorts things out.

Only a colored image
Have you tried a clean Wheezy Image to boot? If this works, I suggest you just install PiPlay via GitHub script. Did a fresh installation (with win32diskimager and recent PiPlay image) on a Pi2 just yesterday and it worked for me.

Mapping xin-mo arcade buttons to exit to pimame menu.
I think I didn't recognise the usage of a Xin Mo in the right way. Is it an Joystic/Controller chip that is used to build a Joystick, or is it a modified keyboard controller, that emulates the keys pressed? If it is recognised as Joystick/Contr…

Same ROM folder for Mame4All and AdvMAME?
C.L.R. Mame Pro sounds promising! Do you use it on the Pi or on your computer?

Mapping xin-mo arcade buttons to exit to pimame menu.
Hello Werner! I think you can try with physical cabling. If you wire the buttons you want to use in serial to the [esc]-key. But remember, that the emulator will recognize both buttons as pressed, too and will react to that!! This will work only fo…

delete some pifba name games
In case you have a keyboard connected, press [TAB] in the overview, move to "Listing view: All" and toggle the option with [lCtrl] to "Listing: Available only" or "Listing: Available with no clones"

[SOLVED] Problems getting emulators to run in v0.8
OK so another feedback for 0.8B2: With windows imager I've put the image on my SD (Sandisk 8GB Class4). Successful, PiMame starts. Connected to network, ran the update script. Logged in via web frontend (looking nice and is easy to use!!) to …

As the wood has a nice structure (and the nice label on the side ;-) ) - I think I will leave it as it is. A bit of grinding on the edges and a transparent back ... that's it. I think I will keep the usage of the LCD simple. Just display the u…

[Build] (Another) PiMame Arcade Tabletop
Thanks! This afternoon I found an old Hitachi 2x20 LCD display - and I know you can connect it to the Raspberry, but I wonder if there is a way to use this display together with MAME4all to show score/name of the game etc?
