Hello,
I'm trying to get PiMAME to work with a pair of Buffalo SNES USB controllers. Booting with them plugged in doesn't give me any control over menu selection. I have to plug a keyboard in, select MAME4ALL, and then the controller will work in the second port. However, the buttons aren't mapped correctly and I have to use the keyboard to escape out. I understand button re-mapping is probably necessary, but would like to see if default controller mapping and recognition can be included in upcoming releases for this controller.

Let me know if you can assist. I'd be happy to ship you a pair of the controllers to get this working. Thanks.

Possible voice recognition (Like kinect) To pick games from a hub?

Hello,

it was nice that the LCD Displays of hwlevel.com http://www.hwlevel.com/hwlevel/LCD-PI33/lcd-pi33.html will work with PIMAME.
I've tried it but it don't work.

It was nice to have a PIMAME Menu on the Touch-Screen to Change/start/stop/etc. the Game/Emulator and the Game itself runs on HDMI Port.

Is that Possible?

Regards,

Hi,
what about an option to delete not wanted roms in advancemenu directly...

how about a button configuration utility?

It would be nice to be able to power-down from within the menu, and not have to dedicate a button to the process.

Hi,
Could you add support for the hifiberry dac? (http://www.hifiberry.com)
Even if some of us use hdmi out, sound is throught my amp so... A support of kind of card would be really great!
(Hifiberry's creator is really helpfull in order to make his dac compatible with a maximum of software running on pi ^^)

- Replace the gameboy advance emulator with: https://github.com/DPRCZ/gpsp, it fixes the config menu.

Alright, I do agree with some/most of what you said too :) N64 emulation is pretty slow. Universal control mapping is a must. Thanks for the suggestions!

A emulator for Amiga?

Please can you add a setting to autoboot to a specific emulator. If you soft reset go to main menu

A frontend

Added in 0.8

Hello, perhaps I miss... a new feature in the pimame menu (in 0.8). One icon with secure shutdown: When you selected that icon the rasperry go sleep (command shutdown -h now).

Would it be possible to emulate the GBA system link (maybe to use over a LAN)? I think in terms of priorities, I'd like to see the other things on the list before this, but it would be quite cool

I would like to see bluetooth support for gamepads. I would also like to see Colecovision and Turbo Grafx 16 emulated.
Thanks.

I'm building a cocktail arcade cabinet. Of course, it will have the usual sets of controls on each side of the cabinet with a portrait screen orientation for those two players. I know PiMame will allow you to flip some games when player 1 finishes for player 2, just as it should. So that's cool. But what is even better is this... I really like the idea of adding a THIRD set of controls (two players next to each other) on the side of the cabinet. This allows two players to play games with a landscape screen orientation.

That way PAC Man is played using with the traditional cocktail controls on the ends, and Street Fighter is played with the ones on the side. With dozens of games loaded, you have to tell Mame which games to display portrait and which games to display landscape, and which controls apply.

This can be done with a PC mame emulator. Can it be done with PiMame? If not, ThE ABILITY TO SET THE SCREEN ORIENTATION for EACH game would be very helpful.

I'd love to see an Amstrad CPC emulator in a future release, that would be a nice addition.
There is #CPC4Rpi which looks good (http://gaming.capsule-sa.co.za/?gamepress_reviews=cpc4rpi-cpc-6128-emulator-for-raspberry-pi)

+1 for Spectrum.

It was a Very very popular here in England in the 1980's. Like the C64 was in the States.

Unreal & Fuse emulators please.

@mholgatem
That's a damn good idea!
I have heaps of ROMs too so it really takes almost 2 minutes.
Thanks

I would appreciate the help :)

Fig: great suggestion. I'll try to add that in.

I would love to see rpix86 support :-)

I am new to the site but have been basically living on it since I started building my custom rPi arcade cabinet. I started using the .710 version and got most of what I wanted running. I was able to go into Mama4All, FBA and SNES and modify the config files to get my Tankstick to control the games. It was a bit clunky having to use the text based menu but I was able to edit the menu file to get a slimed down version that only had the options I wanted. I did find the lack of 2 player controls in SNES a disappointment. I decided to try a build of the .82 Beta and liked the initial layout. I edited the menu to hide the emulators that I didn't want to see but corrupted it when I tried to add a option to go to sudo raspi-config. Also controlling the Ui with the tankstick was very slow and un-intuitive. It would be nice to see a single ROMS option that showed a combined list in the format of: Game Name - file name - emulator - Screenshot. Also if there was a single config file that each emulator looked at for key maps, instead of each referencing the global values. I also backed the Kickstarter campaign so I am looking forward to where this leads. Thanks for all the great work, keep it up.

any thoughts on integrating Jasper into PiPlay? I need to buy a mic before I can mess around with it, but it seems that it would be super easy to integrate.
