Hi Shea,

What's different between 0.6 beta 2 and beta 3?

SSilver2k2

The difference is that beta3 uses the latest Raspberry Pi firmware (rpi-update). There were booting issues with beta2 and newer Raspberry Pi boards, and it was recommended to do a firmware update.

It looks like this has fixed the issue.

Ok thanks.

I can also report that the fix for popping analogue audio when entering/exiting advmame/advmenu is fixed by this updated pi firmware.

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has PiMame working with the USB arcade controller...

I am having issues with it where it will only pick up UP and RIGHT.. jstest, picks up 4 axis (x,y,z,Rx) but only x and y register when UP and RIGHT are actuated.

I am guessing this is just a module issue?

Kind regards

Jason

Hey Jason,

that's a neat little board. I've only ever seen the J-PAC but that looks like a nice alternative. That's something I'm going to have to try to pick up soon.

I have built one of these - £9 delivered for the minimus and flashing the provided hex file was easy. I have tested with pimame and intend to use this in my cabinet.

I have asked the company, and they are being great, and have been in touch with the factory... Hoping they or someone on here can figure out the easy way to get it working... It must be the joystick module picking up the axis incorrectly as it works fine on a PC (laptop).

Howdy, Stranger!
