Yeah that does not work writing .img.zip Just extracting via winrar to try that. - UPDATE it extracted no errors with winrar? Were some specific options used when zipping? Strange that Win7 zipper & 7-Zip cause errors but winrar is fine?

Escape 'ESC' is set for returning to menu. Some emulators you have to exit them from their menu to return to Pimame menu. For example VICE you have to select exit. MAME4ALL will return to Pimame menu if you press 'ESC'. Make sur…

rerouting the button controlls in pimame
Hi, GBA - if you use a keyboard to navigate the menu, you should then get the option to re-configure the keys 'configure keyboard input' within the emulator so you don't need to edit file. If you don't get anything then you are…

PCSX_Rearmed control mapping
Umm. I have checked in the dir, but I cannot see any controls config file. So I must have just configured in the Emulator program itself.

PCSX_Rearmed control mapping
I have mapped the buttons onto keyboard commands and they stick after reboots. My arcade has the buttons/controls through gpio, so I am using keyboard commands. I think I used the onscreen config to set the controller. I don't remember doing a…

Hi. You can map the buttons to what you want. Each emulator pretty much has its own config file. Some require you to enter the button ie 'k' is say A fire for SNES, others ask for the keyboard command behind the scenes so 'k' is …

Games for mame
@slashsd1000 What I did was search for top 80's and 90's arcade games. There are quite a few lists that appear on the web. Save you having poor games on your arcade. Just a shame Outrun runs badly with poor sound. All the rest run well f…

Newbie question: Buying two Joysticks
Interesting. It looks like a rip-off of my Datel Arcade Stick. Must be different USB controller inside as I have nightmares trying to get it work properly.

I wonder if it is a memory issue. I will try and remember to check if MK works when I get home after work.

pIMAME with adafruit controls buttons, joystick?
Zip file? Is this the adafruit file? I unzipped it on my PC (not sure how to do this on RPi via command prompt) and copied the unzipped directory to my RPI, it goes in the Home directory from memory.

When you delete the ROM and reopen FBA the ROM entry should have gone? Try rebooting.

Can you map controls in FBA like you can in Mame4all?
ThWin81 - Use notepad++ in Windows not Notepad. Notepad++ keeps the formating of the original files. Nice to know typing 'exit' gets you back into menu, I was typing 'python menu.py' or something like that every time lol! Yeah…

When you say 'like in Mame4all' well I don't think there is a 'on screen menu' but there is a file in the PiFBA directory. Something like FBAconfig.cfg Edit this and you can put in your keyboard commands/joystick commands. …

jstest and calibration for usb interface
Hi. I am finding joysticks and the RPi/Linux really difficult. I went down the GPIO route but would like to use USB so hopefully some one will help us! I have spent a lot of time looking at it, but never got everything working with all emulators.
