1. i use this command: amixer cset numid=3 1
it works...but after restart its 0 again. and my audio just works on 1

2. thx a lot. i will try it later ;)

3. i use and selfmade controller: 2Players each with 8way joystick 4 buttons and 1 Button for COIN/SELECT. So ones u press COIN Player1 AND Player2 get a Credit.
and one button for ESC. and i use an IPAC. also i still have a keyboard connected.

ok NES is working now. dont know what i changed but it works. just a few irritating texts and symbols popping up. but thats ok.

only one problem left ;)

omg your my hero :)
thanks a lot for your time.

few new problems now. maybe u can help again. but so far im more than happy.

i have a video showing up while RPi is starting. video is about 1 min. but the sound is off in this time. the sound starts about 20 sec later and its the sound from piplay and not the videosound. its not a real problem for me. but maybe theres a easy trick?

and again the NES problem. i just want to play the game ballonfight. because my girlfriend likes it a lot. i can play now but just 1player because in the startmenu of the game i cant move the courser. but when i press START (its 1player mode now) everything works but sadly only 1 player. i will try some other games this weekend for some more informations about this problem.
also i tried to run games by mame4all or advmame. but this emulators dont work on PiPlay. but when i start mame from the desktop everthing works. so right emulator and right roms but its not working in Piplay.
But i can run FBA thats enough. :)

yeah your right with the NES prolblem. never tought about the select button... :(
solved!

im using HDMI. no converter.
i will spend some time next week to google.
thx a lot. you are great :)

so some new things ;)

now i have the final monitor installed in my arcade cabinet.
it also has audio. so now the problem with the sound at the start is solved.
The videosound at the start comes trough the monitor. after that the speakers from the cabinet do the rest. Its perfekt for me.

but theres a problem with the monitor. when my arcade gets power. the raspberry starts and everything works. but the monitor is in standby and has to be start manuel.
never had a monitor like this. is theres an option to change this or is it the monitor it self?

and i also tried to play snes with someone. but the 2 player wont work. i changed to config in piplay with TAB but theres no change to get the 2 player working.
any idea?

today i had some time to do some changes.

so i also changed the file.

so i only copied the snes9x file. there were more files but i only copied these.
and also i overwrite it, of course!? O.o

so now the snes dont work at all :(
and i didnt saved the old file anywhere.
so maybe you have an idea what i did wrong, or at least the old file for me? ;)

worked perfect ;) thx again

so maybe you can spend some time again. on the mame problem...

so here some informations.
mame4all
i cant start mame from the piplay menu.
every rom i start i get an error.
but when i go to the desktop and start the .exe from the folder.
mame starts and the roms work.

i dont get it. wheres the problem?
im sure i have the right roms. because is works.
also the roms are in the right folder....

hmm....

is there a option to save the highscores in FBA?

and also i would like to create an theme. i think i start with changing the piworld-theme.
so its possible just to change the images and it will work? or there some things to be carefull with?

Shea knows a lot more about the mame side of things than I do, I'll make sure he takes a look at this post, but without an error message, I'm not sure he'll be able to trouble-shoot. just out of curiosity, what format are your roms archived, is it .zip or something else?

that's what I'm thinking as well. It sounds like it's not launching without the arguments.

so checked the admin panel

Menu items list
command for MAME4all: /home/pi/pimame/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame

Rom Path: home/pi/pimame/roms/mame4all


so when i go to the local roms:
command:
/home/pi/pimame/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame "/home/pi/pimame/roms/mame4all/1942b"

Rom Path
/home/pi/pimame/roms/mame4all/

Rom file : 1942b.zip


so i thought the command for the local roms its diffrent than your commandline in the last post. so i changed this commandline to this

/home/pi/pimame/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame "1942b"

suprise suprise it worked... O.o

so now i have to change the commandline of each rom!?
or is there an easy way?

Im happy guys. thx for your help again.
at least i have found a way how to run these roms

you guys amazing. thx one more time.

got it working also 2 player is fine now.
but mame wont recognize EXIT... i need to press ESC on the keyboard.
in FBA it works fine. i only can change the config by pressing TAB and change the control for ARCADE right!?
so arcade is FBA and MAME at the same time. or is there a diffrent option?

okay so today i tried to change a theme.
i just changed some images. to test a bit.
so i but the folder on the Pi and changed to the new theme.
but it failed.
error because of non 32 bit files...
but i think i can handle this one.

but my problem now is that i cant go to piplay. and so i dont know how to change the theme. so i decided to delete the new folder and hoped it will go back to default.
hmm....no...i was wrong :D

if you go into the web frontend -> database admin -> options -> change 'theme pack' to a different one that is currently on your system.
