    Hi! looks great, I tried to run, but got no games in the list. Another thing is, where is the generate_info.sh?
  • berzerkingberzerking
    hi all,

    the generate_info.sh don t existe anymore .. everything is in the get_media.sh (in BIN)

    I'm actualy working on a new version but i have to test it to correct minors bug.



    see ya ;)
  • mholgatemmholgatem
    Very nice! Looks good! Do you load the entire dat file into memory or do you call it on a game by game basis to get the game info?
  • berzerkingberzerking
    thxs !

    I prefere to load game by game because loading all of them will crash out memory of the RPI. And to win a max of perf i use script calling script wich kill the parent (the FE) and then in CPU+MEM their is only one process working.

    [Pyr is started] =>
    launch game
    [script is call and kill Pyr and start MAME] =>
    stop game
    [MAME Stop] =>
    Script continue
    [re-launch Pyr] =>

    Hell0 World ...

    Nouvelle version qui ne corrige pas de bug mais qui accélère un peu le rendu (légèrement) ; J'ai supprimé les librairie tk pour utiliser frame buffer . Vous pouvez donc l'utiliser avec le terminal directement sans lancer X. Par contre merci de  me faire un retour : j'ai l'impressions que y a un bug (en mode frame buffer) et que les interuption clavier/joystick sont mal géré.

    See ya
  • ian57ian57
    Oh oh in french... are you sure ?

    New release which does not correct bugs but speed up rendering. Tk libs were deleted and Frame Buffer is used. X is no more needed. Please give berzerking some feedback, because it seems there is a bug in frame buffer mode, and keyboard inputs seem to be very well managed .

  • tdmame
    Hi, this looks great berzerking! I have couple of questions: 1) what games does the preview work for? Does this support the same video files that Hyperspin does? and 2) is there a full tutorial in english anywhere? I used google translator but it's not perfect and I'm not sure if I can add this to my pimame config or if I have to do a new build from scratch using your download. Thanks and keep up the great work!
  • berzerkingberzerking
    Hi .

    i ll made a full tutorial soon . The Web pages is curently modified . But i don t have a n'y connexion at home for the moment (check it in the en of the net week)
  • tdmame
    Thanks berzerking! If anyone else is running this and can offer an overview (so berzerking can focus on the product) I would greatly appreciate any guidance in English. Thanks!
  • berzerkingberzerking
    We are actually working on a wiki and a new www. http://pyrharckade.io/
  • ian57ian57
    good looking website... congrats
  • Nitrogen_Widget
    Hi Berzerking,
    Is there support for rotated monitors?
  • berzerkingberzerking
    yes it s not realy a support but we have created some skkin to apply in vertical mode. To launch it in vertical mod you have to launch the start.py with argument :

    Full options : ./start.py YES/NO X/Y

    Ex for vertical mode + Intro Snap :

    ./start.py YES Y

    Ex for Horizontal mode + NO Intro Snap :

    ./start.py NO X

    This version is also avaible on the PyrOS on http://pyrharckade.io/tuto.html



  • Nitrogen_Widget
    Great.
    I have my own custom stripped down version of raspbian i'm planing to use for a 4-way dedicated bar-top so i'll download the latest and give it go.

    Thanks.
  • berzerkingberzerking
    i advised you a simple keyboard hack like IPAC4 USB :

    http://www.smallcab.net/encodeur-clavier-ipac4-usb-p-557.html#.VPWiO7Md7po which

    It will be more easly to configure all the emulators :)
  • Nitrogen_Widget
    I will probably use a Kade device.
    Are there depends for the front end?
    when I downloaded it, it gave me an error claiming it couldn't open an image file but listed two image files at once.

  • berzerkingberzerking
    No the front end can used keyboard and joystick.It s just a think it s more simple to configure emulators like FBA with a (hack) keyboard :)

    For the image are you talking about Pyrharckade or PyrOS ?

    If you re talking about Pyros you have to do :

    gunzip -c PyrOS_1.0B_20150218.img.gz | sudo dd bs=1M of=/dev/sd[X]

  • Nitrogen_Widget
    Pyrharckade .
  • berzerkingberzerking
    have you used the get_media in configuration menu ? copy me the error here please .
  • Nitrogen_Widget
    Hi,
    I was on my tablet and didn't provide a good error message.
    I downloaded just the emulator. I get an error when I try to start it and can't get any further.
    I will post that error tonight.
    Thankyou.
  • Nitrogen_Widget
    I'm sorry, but is there any documentation in english on the front end or the pyros?
    I'd love to use this on my vert cab but i can't even navigate the menu because I don't know which buttons to press to go back.
    I also don't really understand the rom list file use.
    I put my roms on the sdcard by copying them over by plugging the card into a reader on my PC then made a delimited list based on my rom directory but when I tell it to fetch media my screen goes black & nothing else happens.
    ill go back & read the thread again unless i missed something.

    Thankyou.
  • berzerkingberzerking
    we are a french team :) and we don't start any documentation even in french ;) but it the new objective we have .

    For the RPI if you want to turn your screen you have to edit the config.txt in/boot/

    display_rotate=0 Normal
    display_rotate=1 90 degrees
    display_rotate=2 180 degrees
    display_rotate=3 270 degrees
    display_rotate=0x10000 horizontal flip
    display_rotate=0x20000 vertical flip

    and To launch Pyrharckade in vertical mode you have to do :
    cd /home/pi/pyrharckade/
    ./start.py [YES/NO] [X/Y]

    so :

    ./start.py NO Y

    YES/NO is a loading splash screen and X/Y is the vertical position

    I ll post next time a full documentation for pyraharckade and Pyros
  • Nitrogen_Widget
    Thank you.
    I got it to run.
    But, do I put my Roms inside the pyharkade folder under Mame?
    Or leave them in the .advance folder?
    I put Roms in both places but the media option is just creating generic images in the directories and telling me no media is being fetched.
  • berzerkingberzerking
    the server had a probleme . so rm the snap + weel + vidéo + doc directory and restant the get_media . I m working on the New version wich don t replace the "no" file. I ll post it in the week
  • berzerkingberzerking
    For the roms you have to édit the config file of mame4all or advmame and say in where are the rom directory
