I would second #7. There's a lot of ways it could be broken down to help find information quicker. Categories like hardware, software, controllers (i.e. - Xin-Mo, I-PAC, etc.), joysticks, emulators, video, audio, miscellaneous, off topic, etc. …

That's really awesome, nicely done! What did you use for the custom artwork on the sides?

Help! MAME4ALL and more
Ok, well that makes sense. I suppose eventually you have to settle on one type only or implement all 3. It seems almost impossible to check for all 3 types now that I think of it due to the simple fact if you have a "conglomeration" of the…

I hear what you're saying and I think it's going to be an awesome tool. Most folks will probably be dumping split-merge sets (how they are downloaded on almost all sites as a whole set). If you run a verify to validate ROM files against s…

Yeah I was just throwing out the different ways they can be zipped and possible complications. The part I am not understanding is take for example the game 1942. There is 3 versions/sets 1942.zip, 1942a.zip and 1942b.zip. Now depending on which meth…

Ok, that's really cool. I wonder if that can be simplified a little because it seems like it could get messy. There's a site (I don't think I can name it here) but they use TorrentZip that creates the same CRC for a zip file. If any o…

[Solved] Noobie with loads of questions
I agree, you have to do a bit of research for the wireless. I was jumping all over on different sites and spent several hours. It took me a while to get it up and running. The files in the directory /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant do a good job explai…

@mholgaten - that scraper sounds really handy. Will the CRC check be on the whole set? Like using TorrentZip on the game set zip file and comparing the CRC? Just zipping files alone depending on the utility will have different CRC's hence Torr…

USB audio card issue with PiPlay.
I had the same error "Segmentation fault" but not the audio portion of the error when running the game West Story (weststry.zip) under MAME4ALL. I am running Beta 3 of PiPlay with no extra hardware so I am not sure what that error is. It&#…

You can verify your ROMS with a ROM manager like ClrMamePro. It does involve a few steps. You need to download ClrMamePro. There are two versions available. An install version and also a standalone version. They work exactly the same so it's …

After pressing Alt + F1 how do I open PiPlay menu again
Ok I appreciate the information. That's exactly what I was trying to figure out. What is the optimal way to switch or restart the interface without using more resources to do so.

Pcsx_rearmed controls/file path not persistent between reboots
Wow, is that in a case? That's really nice! I hit the mid to upper 60's in a PiBow case that's with extra holes drilled in the top cover plate over the 3 main chips. I can keep it in the 50's only open faced with no top cover. I …

After pressing Alt + F1 how do I open PiPlay menu again
So F1 - F6 is there something that loads in each one by default when booting up? For example is the "Windows" (sorry I don't know the name...X) pre-loaded using resources? I am guessing PiPlay is optimized to center it's resourc…

After pressing Alt + F1 how do I open PiPlay menu again
@mholgatem - Can you explain a little more between Alt + [F1 -> F6] vs exit. I don't quite understand the difference. I seem to run into the same issue though hitting ESC or other buttons and ending up back at a prompt often. Is there any c…

Pcsx_rearmed controls/file path not persistent between reboots
I had the same concerns with heat dissipation. I might have done overkill but I've actually have had real good luck with heatsinks and overclocking. I might be incorrect but the way I understand it you can overclock without voiding the warrant…

Ok, it just sounds like one of those interesting issues that you spend hours on only to kick yourself when you discover the answer! :) At home I run Windows 7 and I can't get it to go directly to hibernation. I have to send it to sleep and the…

AdvMAME games that I can't get running
Hey thanks for the feedback. Yeah the overclock comment is misleading. I was just impressed that it overclocked so well with some decent heatsinks. I am actually using the 0.106 ROM set. I used ClrMamePro to verify the DAT's. My sets are Non-M…

Maybe it's a web browser issue? A virus scan issue? I just tried uploading ROMs to AdvMAME with IE11 and I also uploaded ROM's to Atari 2600 with Chrome. Both times it uploaded without a hitch. That's a really sharp upload menu. One …

Yeah I did see that post. It's a great tip that I will try next time. I was just completely shooting in the dark on permissions, throwing out thoughts. Have you looked at this post: http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/939/missing-files-game-no…

I don't have an answer for your issue, maybe a permissions issue? Another easy program to use for copying files is WinSCP. It's free a free open source program that's has been around for a long time. Once you put in the IP and logo…
