Multiple questions 0.8.7
  • Hi everyone, needing some help on a couple of things....

    1. I have mapped all controllers using the config in the main menu. When i select a game in SNES, it goes back to the piplay menu when the X button is pressed.

    2. The AdvMame roms that worked fine on previous versions of Piplay now aren't working. When the game is selected, the writing comes up, screen goes black, then goes back to Piplay menu.

    3. On the other one I am making, the resolution is large... If that makes sense! It does not fit the screen, the rapian desktop looks like a Raspberry on steroids
  • Thanks @Pristopher that worked for question #1.

    Here comes question #4.
    I used Jstest to work out what buttons are which. I Changed the snes9x.cfg to the correct button in both player one and two. However i am unsuccessful in getting player 2 to work. Any ideas anyone??
  • can you post your snes9x.cfg? You may also want to make sure that you have the build that supports 2 player. (This is the version that supports 2 player: https://github.com/mholgatem/PiSNES/tree/master/build)
  • Thanks @mholgatem, I download file from your link and replaced the folder.. When loading a game it went back to Piplay menu again like in my question 1. Can't seem to get it to work. So i have gone back to my previous files where player one worked. Here is the snes9x.cfg

  • Also, Question 5. Where is the config file for SMS controls. I have used the controller config at the start but again have nothing working....????
  • @hinchhinch - If you copied the entire pisnes folder over from my repo, then you would also need to re-edit the snes9x.cfg file to update your buttons.

    The sms config is in the hidden 'mednafen' folder:

    /home/pi/.mednafen/sms.cfg

Howdy, Stranger!
