Just Updated/MAME not installing
Nope. I went it to the desktop and checked. ROMs are all there in their folders in MAME4ALL from before I updated it. But it's weird because I have a few ROMs from NES and they aren't showing up when I try to open that emulator. Any other …

Top and Bottom of Display Screen Cut off after update
Ok. After a year of having the top and bottom of my screen cut off (can't see scores and other pertinent info!) I'm going crazy! I tried the overscan config.txt but it didn't change anything in my mame4all arcade games. Anybody else o…

Screen size using mame4all
On a similar note, after doing a Scrape in my mame4all there are now images, but they are tiny on the right hand side. Does this have to do with resolution size? If so, how do I change that?

What game do you play most on your bartop? Whats your age?
Bomb Jack, Missile Command, Popeye, Kangaroo (not sure why I'm so into that one lately!) I'm 41. My 4 year old likes to play the "night game" i.e. Galaga where he pushes the fire button and I control the ship.

MAME4All not found
Not exactly sure what that means to expand the rootfs. I did try reinstalling pimame with the script you gave me. It worked in that I reinstalled mame4all but then when I tried to open it up I got a new error message. Ugh! Frustrating...

MAME4All not found
Havin' the same problem! Sure enough my /rootfs (not sure what that means!) and the other one were at 99%. So I got rid of the wolfram-engine. Now they are at 84%. So now I'm stumped at reinstalling mame4all. I'm not totally understan…

New PiPlay Version from Kickstarter - how-to questions!
Thanks! Yeah, the weird thing is when I try to esc to get to the desktop everything goes bonkers, flickering and the desktop is there, but only parts of it flash when I mouse around. If I could get the the desktop, I could do everything I've do…

Screen size using mame4all
I have the same problem. When I updated the screen went above and below outside of the viewing area. I posted in August http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/1237/top-and-bottom-of-display-screen-cut-off-after-update#Item_4 and tried what they recommen…

No luck. It changed the top menu - where you select the emulator - but the MAME4ALL games still are cut off. Any other suggestions?

A monitor. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the quick response! I'll let you know if it works.

Lazzarusbr! You got Bump N Jump to work?!?! You found a ROM that was 0,37b5? I'd still love to get that one going. Still that one and Food Fight I'd love to work!

YES! Yes, yes, yes! The samples worked! I now have sound for Space Invaders and Zaxxon! Beautiful, beautiful sound! Thanks so much! Now if only I could get Bump N Jump and Food Fight to work on MAME4all. I've tried every conceivable search opti…

All my other roms work just fine. I will try and locate the mame4all/samples folder and add those sound samples when I get home from work tonight! I'll keep you posted on if it works or not.

Fceux NES/Famicom on PiMAME Help
Still not having any luck. That link was enlightening. It explained that Fceux has no Graphic User Interface (an acronym I just learned - GUI). I tried running ./fcuex Excitebike.nes but that denied permission. So I added sudo and got command not fo…

[SOLVED] Rotate Display? (How-to)
YES! YES! YES! It worked! So I had to add the display_rotate=1 script in there by typing it in. I tried that before but I think I put it in the wrong spot. This time I put it on a line after one that started with a #. Funny, I had to go back and rem…

Definitely a NES emulator! FCEUX is supposed to be rad. The MAME4all was a great addition!

[SOLVED] Rotate Display? (How-to)
That's exactly what I want! I did try that (display_rotate=1 [90 degrees]), but I used sudo nano /boot/config.txt. It didn't work. Maybe I need to be in the root with a password or whatever? Not sure how to do that. Several times trying th…

Oh, and I meant an executable file. Not .exe. I'm not even sure how to open it, however. It asks for what program I want to use and I'm not sure.

[SOLVED] Rotate Display? (How-to)
Figured it out! So I went snooping on the Pi desktop and found in the MAME4all folder and in that I found a simple text file called name.cfg! I found the ror=no and changed it to yes, saved it, rebooted and voila! Vertical games! So awesome. Now. Ho…

Right. OK. So I found something about apt-get install and then you add the name of the program, but nothing came up for FCEUX. I also searched for anything resembling FCEUX, but not luck. I'd really love to have NES games on my mame cabinet but…
