Lighted Buttons
Yeah, I guess my question is how to get the configuration info for the buttons to the arduino from within PiPlay. E.g. If I open Asteroids, it lights up only those buttons -- how do I "push" data from the Pi to the Arduino? Blacksheep3…

Raspberry Pi 2
Thanks! Yep, built it from mostly 3/4" plywood. I started with MDF but I didn't like how sensitive the edges of MDF were for getting dinged. I'll drop a PPT file here that documents the build process, and some challenges I ran into…

.SAV Files on Gameboy Advance
OK, thanks. Will that be in an update, or is it something I can add to the current build?

OK, problem fixed. Detailed information here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/354 But bottom line: Exit PiPlay. From command line: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Reboot. Then Stella works fine from the com…

GPSP / Gameboy Advance Control Mapping
OK, I fixed this by installing the binary files from the emulator's developer. They are located here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2x9tz60v06h15u9/gpsp.tar.gz Just unzip the file, copy the unzipped files into your GPSP directory. Once I did th…

Also, this is a Raspi B+, not a -2.

Running Stella on .8Beta9
I'm using a Dell 1908FP with a 1280 x 1024 native resolution. I have gone into the database manager and enabled the emulator, but I am unsure what the command line for it should be. If it is an SDL / framebuffer problem, how could I troublesh…

GBA controller setup - Why isn't there one?
Hey, I'm having the same problem. I haven't solved it entirely (see http://piplay.org/forum/discussion/1873/gpsp-gameboy-advance-control-mapping#Item_1), but there is a way to map the controls -- it just isn't working for me. It may…

Gameboy Advance ROM Format?
Yep, you were right. Unzipped the .7z file; it had ALL the versions of each game in it; only had to use one of the .gba files. Thanks for the help!

Questions for .8Beta9 on Raspi B+
FYI, I fixed the problem with the SNES controller. When I configured the USB controller using the controller config option in PiPlay, for some reason it assigned the same code to "quit" as it did to "x"; was able to change the &…

Correction; I can run Stella from within X, but not from the command prompt outside of X.

Questions for .8Beta9 on Raspi B+
So, no luck setting the screen resolution to get the NES emulator to work -- I tried all of the settings that match my monitor resolution (1280x1024). The lower Hz settings (60&75) had no effect; when I set it to 85 Hz the monitor no longer rec…

Questions for .8Beta9 on Raspi B+
One more thing...when the Raspi boots, and also when I run the MAME4ALL ROMS, there are some error messages...apparently they don't effect the games, because they run fine, but I'd like to clean things up...I'm a little OCD when it co…
