Jsavage00

I used to be able to upload ROM's via ethernet cable bu i forgot how to, if you can remind me that will be great! P.S. i managed to get my joystick working thanks guys, when i recieve my buttons i will ask a question on how 1 button mirros another button on the keyboard etc, thanks

On your main PiPlay menu, there should be an IP address in the top right corner (if you have it on the network already). Plug that ip address into any web browser, and it will take you to the ROM uploader.

Thanks @dubstylee do you know how to make arcade buttons work?

@Jsavage00 - Easiest way I know to either buy iPac from Ultimarc or use GPIO pins built-in on Raspberry Pi board.

iPac - http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html
GPIO pins for arcade instruction - https://learn.adafruit.com/retro-gaming-with-raspberry-pi/buttons

1 player -> gpio is easier/cheaper

2 players -> Ipac is easier/ more expensive

ian57 hit the nail on the head. :p

Some GPIO hacks are available too : http://atmjoy.com/pikeyd-pi-gpio-keyboard-daemon-i2c-mcp3017/ two player on the gpio thanks to a deamon program and a small pcb. Raspicade is supporting that device

or harder https://github.com/ian57/Retrogame-2players

another solution is the very famous Xin-Mo module : http://www.smallcab.net/encodeur-joystick-boutons-arcade-usb-joueur-cosses-28mm-p-273.html?osCsid=d989dd78c44b2cdef87d1e44464052c7#.U7ghXv51OR8

or a kade device ... http://kadevice.com/

another nail on the head?

I used a xin-mo for my little iCade Pi :) It works great. I have heard that if you want to use it for 2 players though that it takes some tinkering. The iCade only comes with one joystick though so I didn't have to worry about that.

I just got it all working with the zero delay encoder! Didn't have to code/configure anything!

Howdy, Stranger!
