There is a way to start gngeo games directly from command line ?
Raspicade is still using it... ;)... It works well ....

Joysticks/buttons not responding in games (maybe xin-mo troubles)
That's normal... try my release of mame4all, I've patched it to support all the button of the xin-mo module ;) https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-mame4all-xinmo you can try my arcade distro too https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicade/

Audio Issues in vertical mode
You can give a try to my distro and see if you have the same problem with it. 1942 is running well in cocktail mode : https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicade/

No sound on any ROM [PI B+]
You should edit the /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file as I do in my conf script for raspicade : https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-configuration-files/blob/master/piaudioconf.sh

Hiding Linux boot text
Check my raspicade documentation : you can send all text output to console 2, as you are using console 1 at boot : main advantage you can check in case of errors by pressing ALT-F2 to see console text. everything is done by cmdline.txt file -> so…

Boot straight to MAME?
I think you should launch mame from .profile file insread of the piplay frontend.

Universal Keyboard Mapping
In Raspicade the same keyboard mapping is used for all emulators see config files in my github repo https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-configuration-files. Here is the pisnes keyb config : [Keyboard] # Get codes from /usr/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h …

PiFBA - XinMo P1/P2 (Buttons - Start/Coin/Exit_Program)
I don't know if piplay uses my Pifba xinmo modified release. You can test my binaries from Raspicade https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-configuration-files/tree/master/pifba

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
Just one thing to say... everything is the ennemy of the best! Retrogaming with a wiimote... not really my view of retrogaming ;-)

Controlling Power
Great product Dave, thanks for the info... but you can do quite the same with a general switch and the my retrogame program : 1 button to shutdown properly the pi : see https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-Retrogame-2Player-BPlus/wiki. I added an inpu…

Anyone working with coin acceptors?
I've done that on my Jeutel with the IPAC encoder, but you can wire the coin switch the same way to the GPIO : http://www.morere.eu/spip.php?article168#outil_sommaire_46

I use menu to shut down the pi in a software way and a general power switch to shut down everything.

FPS Performance Issues when Rotating Screen 90 degrees ( frame-rate drop from 60 to 15 fps! )
For retrograme config... check the PDF documentation and the github repo : https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-Retrogame-2Player-BPlus and wiring here https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-Retrogame-2Player-BPlus/wiki

If it is a B+, surely made in UK (because very new)... it is written on it near the power connector... We have stability issue with chinese PI when overclocking... electronic component are in fewer quality than the uk one. Raspicade is ditributed a…

Perhaps you can try my raspicade distro : just put some games in directories and display_rotate=1 in config.txt file to see if you have same issue... Just one more question : is you PI made in UK?

Remove the start_x = 1 if you don't use it.

Garou with gngeo on raspicade is running full speed (60fps) rotated 90°. Mame4all-pi is running well too : StarFire is running at 57fps/57pfs

Audio issue and my solution
that's why config.txt is more powerful than raspi-config ;) and for numerous other config options (scaling etc.... )

Rotation
See here with mame4all : http://youtu.be/QhclxTZ7nfk I think its 60fps. Everything is fluid...

Joystick/Buttons
It depends ;)... If it is a xin-mo, you will have trouble with the second player if piplay does not include some specific patch for this encoder. (raspicade does :)). Connecting to GPIO with a retrogame program gives normally good results.
