FAQ
  • The instructions are not working for including Mame4All into AdvanceMenu.
    It keeps giving an "Invalid Arguement" for the first directory location line. I have tried to use the "/home/pi/emulator" path, but it gives the same error.
  • I identified the error.
    There is a typo in the first line "emulator "mame4all' generic ..." the single quote after mame4all should be a double quote.

    Also, I used the path "/home/pi/emulators/mame4all-pi/" for the paths instead of the indiecity.
  • From thread: http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/524/trackball-issue#Item_4

    To change mouse polling, from a terminal: sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt ... then add usbhid.mousepoll={number in ms} ... to the end.
    1000 hz = 1 ms
    500 hz = 2 ms
    250 hz = 4 ms
    125 hz = 8 ms
    100 hz = 10 ms
  • Can you elaborate on "Get correct game titles when using mame4all under advmenu" please? I'm not sure what you mean by "run on the mame4all binary".
  • When you use Mame4all as the emulator from the advmenu, the games list shows up as the filenames, so is often difficult to tell which game is which.

    To produce a file that can be used by advmenu to give the correct titles, run this command in the Mame4all directory:
    mame -listinfo > mame4all.lst

    Then copy the mame4all.lst file into the .advance directory.
  • Actually, after a week of pain, it should be:
    ./mame -listinfo > mame4all.lst
  • I've just updated this to include new items and be easier to read, etc.
    Tell me what you think :D
