Xin-mo setup on PiPlay beta 4.
  • Gavat4r
    Hi I know that there have been lots of posts about mapping joysticks, but as a pi noob. I am struggling a bit.
    Got everything working. Great build. Have placed some roms in neo-geo lib and mame4all lib. Used the control set up button in the main piplay menu. And have managed to play a few games. My question is I have 2 joysticks with 6 buttons , a player 1 and player 2 + start coin buttons. But can somebody please explain the steps I need to take to get both player 1 and player 2 controls mapped. Do I use jtest?? And how do I run it? Any help would be most appreciated... Thks

    I tried and tried to get 2 players setup with xin-mo but I couldn't get any of the emulators to recognize joystick 2... I switched over to I-pac since it actually emulates keystrokes. If anyone has any more info on this I would also be interested

    right now, the controller config doesn't support adding a second controller. You can manually edit the config files to add 2 player though. Shea is the one who wrote the controller script and he will be on vacation this week, but I know that it is very high on his priority list.

    Ok thanks for the update. I will continue trying to sort it out, good to hear that it's on Shea list for the future. It's a great project and I really want to use the pi for my new arcade manchine. I already converted a cab a few years ago with the I-pac, but wanted to use the xim-mo this time.

    @mholgatem - (PiFBA) I've manually edited the arcade.cfg for player 2 but it didn't work. (all buttons and joysticks are working as I have tried using the controller settings to set them as player 1)

    Are there supposed to be files that I need to run to apply the settings? (I've only tried restarting rPi after saving the edited arcade.cfg)

    @mephistod - That's the only thing that you should need. can you post your arcade.cfg?

    @mholgatem - If i swap the joystick configs between player 1 and player 2, then the player 2 buttons and joysticks will work as player 1. However player 1's buttons and joysticks will become disabled.
  • mholgatemmholgatem
    you are using xin-mo, yes? If that's the case, I found the answer for you. So you can implement the changes yourself and compile if you want. When Shea gets back from his vacation, I will talk to him about implementing the changes for the next update.
  • mephistodmephistod
    Thank you!

    I thought this already implemented in the current beta version? I notice @ian57 applied a fix which resolved this back at May this year and shared on his git (referring the thread - http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/1015/xin-mo-compatible-emulators-pisnesmame4allpifba#Item_26)

    I can definitely give it a go (was hoping it to be a simple parameter fix lolz) :-)

    dude conno has a post with easy steps to make it work.

    im a xin mo user and i can play on SNES FBA and MAME thanks to him.
  • lsalcedolsalcedo
    thanks to ian57 too
  • mephistodmephistod
    waiting on updates from Conno

    @mephistod
    MAME4ALL works, PiFBA didn't (But I think that was just me, I'll have to try with a clean image)
    PiSNES sort of worked. But @mholgatem has compiled his own which should work well, as well as having toggle-able Xin-Mo support: http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/1015/xin-mo-compatible-emulators-pisnesmame4allpifba#Item_33
  • mephistodmephistod
    @Conno123009 - Oh just saw your post on this thread. Yes PiSNES is working. Do you have the new compiled binaries for MAME4ALL?

    I'm still working on PiFBA, darn I forgot to backup before overwriting with my compiled version (which failed). Had to flash a new image as well.
  • Gavat4r
    Hi all any idea when the next update will be released ?
  • ian57ian57
    I've patched pifba like mholgatem patched pisnes. You can find it (source and exe) at https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-pibfa-xinmo you can select xinmo support in fba2x.cfg

    [Joystick]
    #1 = XinMoSupport, 0 = standard
    XinMoSupport=1

    there are to examples of config files : one for gamepads and the other one for xinmo

    It works -> http://youtu.be/pFv3BAh9zsQ

    I've patched Picodrive (genesis emu) too https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-PicoDrive
