Thanks dubstylee i didnt know that. So is gamepad support in menus smth we may pray for?

Just an other thought:can you upload -along with standard piplay images-the berryboot ones?Maybe on a different section of this site?

Piplay inside Raspbmc/openelec? Is that possible?

Better and quicker UI (i think that Retropie has the best so far) but there is always room for improvement! Also ps3 wireless controller support! Is that possible?

I do have a bt dongle. In Retropie though there is an automated ps3 script that does all the job for you. I mean smth like that;)

How can i do that? I am a linux noob i am just starting to learn. Can y show me some links and how to do it?

@racoonfrenzy
Yeah. That's a must..

@bramd - We will be adding that a bit later, we are working to build a faster database on which to search.

@luisusmc
If you have version .8beta4, Then they should already be there. navigate to /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/themes. Each folder contains a theme, or you can duplicate a folder and rename it to create a custom theme. There are 4 supported sound effects: menu move, menu select, menu back, menu navigation (clicking the arrow buttons).

There is a template called 'theme - documented.yaml', it explains what everything does. To edit colors, background, highlighting, sfx, you need to edit the file called 'theme.yaml' that is located inside the theme folder that you want to edit.

I'd like to see a "favorites" and "recently played" section show up either on the main menu, or a top top of the rom browser within an emulator selection.

I know you're trying to put all emulators in one distro, but it would be nice to have an Arcade only build with one menu for mame, neo geo and FBA

doah...ok didn't think of that.

rom scrapper:
show unrecognized files too (maybe at the end of the list? something like «??? awesome-rom.zip»?)

i'm using neogeo folder instead of fba's folder because items that fba can play will be listed here while the same game has no entry in list if moved to fba directory.

ok, so I checked into it and fixed it so that it will display them even if there is no match found - it should be available with the next update. BTW, you can also add your own entries to /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/assets/dat/final burn.dat

@cpropster -
1.yeah, we should. But I'm actually considering building a site that will give us custom access. Right now, I have built a collection of 12,229 images, plus reformatted them into several categories. So hopefully we can make them available. piplay 8beta5 will be out soon, and I added a local image flag to the scraper. So you can grab your own files, throw them into your image folder and then the scraper will compare their names to the names of your roms.

2. I haven't dealt much with the psx emulator. If it supports runtime flags, then yeah, we can do that. Otherwise, we are at the mercy of the emulator. When I have some time, I'll look into it.

@Gavat4r - uh, erm, what? I'm not quite sure what you are getting at with the xin-mo thing. Do you mean in the controller config utility that assigns the buttons for emulators? If that's the case, I am currently working on building in player 2 configs.

And as I read more....

It looks like the X path is a dead end. So, nevermind...

@mholgatem thanks for the help.

Stoked for 8.5 and another big thanks to all the work you and shea put in.

Player 2 configs straight from the controller setup drop would make life pretty nice. Is this something thats going to be in 8.5?

And like I said im pretty new to this whole thing, but, I have bought xin-mo since there are so many threads on solving xin-mo 2player compatibility issues. But have you had better experience using different boards? Let me know what works best. I was looking at the gpWIZ40. But if not I will just stick with xin-mo

thanks @mephistod

ill order one up today.

taj mahalo.

@mholgatem - Sort of guessed it might be a headache, thanks for the answer.
Good news about the exit to desktop that will save me a lot of time.
Looking forward to 8.5, thanks again for all your hard work guys this is a very good project that you've obviously spent quality time on to get to this stage. thanks for the TRON theme too, it matches the overlay on my controls perfectly :)

@Conno - yeah, i've been talking with the guy running it. It's going to be programmed mostly in Java and a little bit of C. It looks like a cool project if he can get the social aspect of it running as well as it looks on his demo.

@SSilver2k2
Thanks Shea! Glad to help.

Any chance we can get the ability to cycle through some mp3s while in the main menu as Id like to leave the Pi running idle and have it do something while Im away from it kinda like the old arcade boxes would demo the game and entice you with random sound bits from the game. I think maybe someone else may have asked for a screensaver while in the main menu as well. Thank you Gents your work is outstanding. Dumb question here though I see this project has been around for about two years? if I wanted to help by sending a donation to further fund this endeavor can I still do it through the kickstarter site?

@djgalmarini - N64 [probably] won't ever be able to run on the standard raspberry pi flavors. It's just too much for it. The reason that ps1 is able to get away with it, is that the architecture is much more similar.

as for the custom splash screen, you can do that. Just replace /home/pi/pimame/PiPlay.mov

yeah, we may be able to output the disk space on the web rom-loader (I know its doable, it's just if there's enough demand for it)

@Pongo - I have already added 2nd player support to the controller config. It's just awaiting approval from Shea and should be available in the next update.
