Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
I assume that PS2 is too much for the hardware? +1 for N64, that'd be brilliant!

Hmm yeah strange though in that the line of code at 166 looks like this, exactly the same as the line above and below (bar the GPIO pin positions) and all seems okay. Would that strangely need to be different than the others for the others, surely n…

Ah beautiful, changing "lctrl" to "lcontrol" has totally fixed the controller issue @mholgatem, thanks very much! There was one further question i have about the key allocations. The PiPlay controller config calls for a button t…

I'd wait till the formatter is fix but if you cant wait. for right now, if you just go into /home/pi/.advance/advmame.rc so sudo nano /home/pi/.advance/advmame.rc that should fix it (it will revert back if you use the controller config agai…

Okay so interesting development on the unpredictable buttons/controller config. I fired up Mame4all rather than the typical advMame (hadnt been able to get mame4all working in previous releases for some reason so hadnt considered it) Anyway a game w…

Okay cool will do. Is there a thread outlining the settings for using within the FTP client, host, username and password and port? (sorry if this should be obvious). Using FileZilla btw.

Hmm okay. Zip files all the way. I wonder if the connection drops and then the upload fails. I have had some larger files work and not others. The progress bar turns red and never progress, so essentially hanging. Im using Firefox on a Macbook Pro …

Out of interest @pilesofspam I assume this is wire up to the GPIO of the Pi and doesn't need a separate power supply?

Okay so jumped in and had a look at advmame.rc and weirdly nowhere in there was there the "keyboard[0, return]" command it prompted me toward. Restarted and tried again and it through up a problem with "lctrl" key. This happened …

BTW to answer your question my pins are all configured the way the wiring diagram shows, not the same way as the code or it would be it would be 5v going to ground as per. GPIO 02 -> KEY_UP // Up (says this in the tutorial, but GPIO 02 is …
