Control config for NES
  • Lunchbox
    Hi,

    I'm using piplay 0.8

    I bought snes-type usb controllers and configured snes controls succesfully using /home/pi/pimame/emulators/pisnes/snes9x.cfg file.

    Nes games does not work with the controller and I do not find the appropriate file. Where is it located?
    I do not find neither subdirectories at /home/pi/pimame/emulators/ for neogeo or genesis.

    Could you please help me?

    you should just use the builtin configuration tool.

    In the piplay main menu, press 'tab' or button 3 to bring up the popup menu, then choose 'controller setup' then choose the emulator that you want to configure.

    Thanks a lot!

    I'm trying it for nes and it seems to work well except when I want to exit.
    In neo geo or snes, I can return to piplay home with ctrl+sel, but it does not work for nes.

    I have tried changing the configuration to another buttons or a single button, but it does not work.

    Any ideas?

    ok, so fceux (nes emulator) is an odd duck. for some reason, it only allows keyboard entries for quit. This is something that I plan on fixing in the future, i just need to find some time to edit the source code for the emulator.

    Thanks for the info.

    I'll wait for next updates then

    @mholgatem any luck with fceux? Any way to edit the config or does it still only allow quitting with a keyboard?
  • mholgatemmholgatem
    Shea is looking into some alternatives to fceux, so I'm holding off until he decides which emulator we will be using. Right now, fceux still requires a keyboard
  • dollerbill
    Ok, sounds good. So fceux may get replaced in the next release?

    ..any idea when the new release will be? Just curious :)
  • mholgatemmholgatem
    It's mostly dependent on Shea at this point. He's going to be at Orlando IX for an unrelated project that we've been working on (that happens in 9 days). So it will probably be a bit after that I would imagine. We have a couple of joint projects that we are hoping to release before the end of the year, but we want to get a new version of piplay out before we release the other projects.
  • dollerbill
    Awesome! If you need any testers I have 3 pis (and know a few more) that I'd would be willing to test it out on
  • mholgatemmholgatem
    cool, yeah. I'll let you know!
