Turbografx 16 / PC Engine...?
Yeah, PC Engine support is already included :) I have a Turbografx 16 at home, and have been trying to find a cheap PC Engine Core so I can play imported HU Games. I have a copy of SF2 CE for the PCE and I don't want to region mod my TG16

mednefen not working
you should run the udpater, it looks like you are running the older version of mednafen that doesn't work with dispmanx.

compatibility with new Rpi B+?
PiPlay 0.8.4 uses the latest Raspbian from June, which has "updated firmware" which must've been an update for the B+ model.

Large ROMs on FBA - garou, kof2005 and others not working.
Haven't tried those. I know SVC Chaos works since I play that all the time.

Light Gun - The PCSX LightGun Thread
.... So that maybe a loaded question. Lightguns usually only work on CRTs, because they need scan lines...there are USB lightguns for LCDs / Projectors that work like a wiimote. I have never thought to use it on a Raspberry Pi, so I don't kn…

looking at a 9" TFT intended for a car for my cabinet
I used something like that. It looks ok, the widescreen does stretch the text since the composite is really only supposed to be 4:3. If you want HDMI, you should check out HDMIPi.

@lateo - thanks for the comments. Optimization is a high priority now that the base has been laid. We are fixing the memory leaks and some of the 100% cpu utilization problems. I'll be honest, this is fun for me. Trying to eek out as much r…

PiPlay beta 4 - how to configure network manualy?
I just go into the desktop environment within Raspbian whenever I set up the network.

Runlevel issues
Very weird. I tend to use zip (zip and unzip in linux) because many of my downloads come from Windows machines. I have uploaded a newly compressed image, and berryboot image, to a new mirror: http://104.131.242.115/

0.8b4 availability?
I haven't turned the updater on for this version yet, so the clean image is the onlyw ay now. Once I get more feedback, I'll turn on the updater and you should be able to move from b3 to b4.

0.8b4 availability?
So worth the wait. I'm so sorry for the delay. We found some show stopping bugs....but the kinks are mostly out and it should be literally any day now.

GENESIS (DGEN) EMULATOR. CANOT EXIT GAME WITH START+SELECT JOYSTICK COMBO
you need to set the exit command to a joystick button in the ~/.dgen/dgenrc file. the next update will automatically do that for you

(0.8b3) Splashscreen/menu is formatted for wide-screen only
oh wow, thats cool. didn't know that command. Thanks!

Comment by SSilver2k2 July 2014 permalink
n00b question - why are some emulators not active?
it's because there aren't any game files uploaded. Upload a game or two and it becomes active.

What/How do i get things rolling?
Is it an SPI TFT screen? (Hooked up to the GPIO pins?) If so, only advancemame will run through that. You will also need to run the image that already has tftmodules installed.

nightly builds
Nightly builds is a good idea. I have no idea what the best way to do that would be, but I'll think about it. And like Connor said, all the repos are public on github under github.com/ssilverm so you can always grab the latest code.

[Build Log] Raspberry Pi Classic Arcade MAME Cabinet - Custom Artwork
What cab was that before? Looks like a Golden Tee, but the paint job makes me suspect an EA conversion. Either way, it looks good! Lots of room :)

Theming
The clear command will clear the screen. I could insert it into the menu so that whenever it exits or runs a new program, it clears the screen first.
