I believe that there is an error using the mouse in this version. It's been a while since this version released, but I think that someone else had pointed it out early on. you may try just using a keyboard and I'll look into it more when I have a chance.

Hello. I'm having the same problem with 0.8b9. I tried it in two RPi 2 Model B boards and got the same error. It crashes whenever I move the mouse, trackball, or rotary encoder. I flashed the image to the SD card on OSX 10.11 using the "sudo dd bs=1m if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/rdiskn" command I found here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/mac.md

Error message: http://i.imgur.com/n3q17yw.jpg

Have there been any new developments since August?

In the meantime I'll try downgrading to b8.

EDIT: Just tried 0.8b8 with a different USB mouse and it still crashed. The error message was almost the same except on line 10 it says "line 259" instead of "line 318". Strange. All things being equal, shouldn't everyone (or at least more people) be getting this error?

Thank you!

Thanks a lot! I will give it a try but I'm having trouble figuring out the next step. I can see that they're python scripts but I'm not sure what to do with them.

It worked!

I downloaded the zip file at https://github.com/mholgatem/pimame-menu.git, then I unzipped it and loaded it onto a thumb drive.

I started up PiPlay, went to Exit and typed 'startx' at the command prompt.

Then I navigated to /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/ (not /home/pi/pimame/pmmenu/) and overwrote the pmmenu folder with the one I got from github.

I rebooted and tested the trackball with Marble Madness and it worked! I had to increase the sensitivity of the analog input to about 75% in MAME4All but after that it seems to be doing fine!

I am having trouble getting the spinner (rotary encoder) to work in AdvMAME but that's another issue.

Did this whole problem occur because I was running PiPlay on an Rpi 2 Model B instead of the original Rpi?

Thank you!
