Bug fixes for the controller setup. Popup window on first startup with hints. A little bit of speed improvements. Background sounds. Speed improvements, uses less RAM and CPU.
When I switched to it, I noticed a lot of SNES games stopped stuttering as mentioned by Shea. Great job guys!
@racoonfrenzy - the changelog popup wont work yet (we need to modify the update script to write a flag file, easy fix though).
But I'm glad to hear that the snes games are working better for you. we have been working hard to implement a ton of resource optimizations.
Shea just merged my changes last night, so I haven't had a chance to test the official release yet, but contoller config should support 2 player setup now. also, the NES controller config should now work with joysticks as well.
Background music is now supported for themes. I suggest using uncompressed .wav file format. If you used a compressed file format (like ogg, because mp3 is not natively supported), it will use a lot more cpu power, as it streams the music rather than loading it into memory. (on that note, I added background music to my piworld theme)
gunicorn web server is pretty awesome. it's super low for resource usage.
@pupsihh - I imagine you are using a joystick or other non-keyboard device? For some reason, when they wrote the emulator, they made it so that certain hotkeys only work with keyboard. I've been searching for source code, so that I can change it. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a whole lot around.
Im having issues with an i-pac on the snes emulator. Player 2 configuration isn't taking after the controller configuration setup. I remember something about having to run the emulator first before configuring, or am I way off? I have to wait until I get home to give it another shot.
@racoonfrenzy - that was just fceux, the nes emulator. I've had someone else just email me saying that they are having trouble with it too. I'm wondering if my 2 player version didn't get merged. try this: download my PiSNES Repo Inside master.zip is a folder called 'build' with a pisnes.zip file. Extract the contents of the folder inside pisnes.zip to '/home/pi/pimame/emulators/pisnes' (mainly you just need to copy snes9x and snes9x.cfg)
Looking forward to trying the updated version! As to the near future, any hope of getting to configure the mame4all controls in a plain text document instead of via the tab menu?
Awesome update menu running smoother and the 2nd player option comes up for each controller to edit
My main issue now is the cheap ipac I'm using doesn't have a good debounce so as soon as I hit a direction with the joystick its still mapping 2-4 controls at once which sucks. Building my little bartop as a test to then make 2 more for family Xmas prezis so they are going to love you guys! So thanks again for all the work ^_^
