Mame4all vs 2nd player

TheSynyx

Hello everyone.

The first is to apologize if my English is not very good.

The second is to congratulate Shea for their work.

Now I tell you my problem ...

I set all PiPlay 0.8b3 with Xin-Mo adapter and everything works fine but in MAME4ALL the second player does not work.

In the discussion

http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/532/xin-mo-and-pisnes/p1

I read something about running a patch to solve it, is it true?

Thank you very much to all.

Only certain pins work on the xin-mo encoder. Here are the pins that work:

Hi hinchhinch.

Yes, I have connected everything correctly, as you have indicated in the picture.

Any other ideas?

Thx

The patch is already included in this version. When you hit the TAB button to enter the menu, when you config player 2 controls, is it registering any keys at all?

Hi hinchhinch.

Here indicated buttons that work and those that do not work:

P2 Up - Ok
Down P2 - Ok
Left P2 - Ok
P2 Right - OK
P2 Button 1 - Ok
P2 Button 2 - Ok
P2 Button 3 - According to your image is not used
P2 Button 4 - According to your image is not used
P2 Button 5 - According to your image is not used
P2 Button 6 - Do not work
P2 Button 7 - Do not work
P2 Button 8 - Do not work
P2 Button 9 - Do not work
P2 Button 10 - Do not work
P2 Button 11 - Do not work
P2 Button 12 - Do not work

My machine has:
Player 1 Joystick
Player 2 Joystick
6 buttons for each player
insert coin 1
insert coin 2
Player 1
Player 2
Button to exit
Left button to pinball (At the moment I do not use it)
Right mouse button to pinball (At the moment I do not use it)

I do not understand because the buttons do not work from 6 to 12.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but do not know what can be.

Thx.

By chance, is the ground daisy chain connected properly to these buttons and the xin-mo, and is it the same wire used on the joystick as well or is the joystick connected to player 1 ground chain?

Hello.

I think I've found the problem, apparently the controller board I purchased is not a Xin-Mo, it is a THT Arcade console 2P USB.

I think the drivers that Shea has been used for controlling Xin-Mo are not fully compatible with this controller. Has anyone used this controller?

Thx.

Yes it's true, i've patched mame4all-pi to support all buttons with xinmo 2 players (see https://sourceforge.net/p/raspicade/wiki/Release Notes/ for proof). I've done it for my raspicade distribution https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicade/. I've patched 4 emulators to get them work the same way with xin-mo : mame4all-pi, pifba, pisnes and gngeo. Please have a look at http://www.morere.eu/spip.php?article176#outil_sommaire_5 to get the patches.

I'm using a modified version of pimenu to select emulator.

Have look to the presentation video of raspicade ;)

Fantastic!!! How back to menú,with keyboard or xin-mo button?

ian57

By combination of 2 xin-mo button : StartP1 + credits. Emultors and pimenu have been patched/configured to have the same behaviour.

After the first configuration (sound and network) you don't need keyboard anymore. Everything is managed via the arcade panel. see the documentation at https://sourceforge.net/p/raspicade/wiki/HowTo/ (sorry only in french at the moment). Raspicade embeds a samba server (roms upload from windows, avoid configuration at boot), ftp server, ssh server to control. It is wifi WPA/WPA2 ready...

Howdy, Stranger!
