NES and Atari not working
  • I have been using pimame for over a year with no problems at all. I upgraded 1 of my arcades to piplay about 4 months ago and it worked fantastically. I am now trying to reload my original arcade with piplay. EVERY version I have downloaded.. beta 9,8,7,5 6 is missing?? anyway I install it and configure my GPIO buttons. SNES works perfect but the NES emulator just goes to black screen then back to the menu. Atari I just get a black screen. This is on an arcade that was fully functional with pimame. All the games are also on the one I upgraded to the piplay a while back so I know there is no problem with games. Can anyone point me in the correct direction? I would use the search feature on the site but it does not seem to work properly.

  • I can't speak for atari, but I know that NES has been finicky ever since they updated raspbian for the rpi2. Most people have been able to fix it by specifying a screen resolution in boot config. How is your pi connected to your monitor? (hdmi, vga, composite, etc.)
  • hdmi cable to DVI adapter.
  • Is there a "correct" setting or is it just try and see?
  • it mostly depends on your monitor. I haven't been able to figure out why some resolutions work and others dont. usually just try the resolutions closest to your screen resolution.
