Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
@racoonfrenzy - BAM! (the code for that is already written and ready to go with the next release. In the main menu, you will have a popup menu with lots of configuration options (volume control is the top option!)

Help!! No sound
you need to type sudo nano /boot/config.txt 'sudo' gives you full permissions (Super-User-DO), 'nano' is the name of a program, a basic text editor, and then lastly is the file that you want to edit '/boot/config.txt'

Alphabetical order rom listing
can you post your pmlist.py file? I'll see if I can see what is going on (my file has been edited so much that I can't even remember what it used to look like)

Alphabetical order rom listing
really? you still got a scrambled list? did it spit out any errors? It's been quite a while since I last took a look at that, so there may be something else that needs to be changed too.

it's coming very soon. In the meantime, if you want to add it yourself, it's like 1 line of code. you need to edit the file /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/pmmenu/pmlist.py near the top you should see some code like this: self.global_opts = g…

How do i configure arcade buttons and a joystick
there are lots of posts on here already about configuring joysticks. upper right hand corner of the forums is a search bar, do a search for 'jtest'. That should get you going.

Please someone help!
@Jsavage00 - You have two options for connecting your adafruit joystick to your encoder. you can either use the 4 "pairs" or you can use the 5 pin. If you use the pairs, 1 pin on each of the pairs is a ground wire. So you have 4 lead wir…

Can i use a usb joystick?
yeah, but you are going to have to do a lot of configuring. Why not just buy a joystick that you can connect to that board?

How to overclock
I never noticed any significant temp difference with or without my heatsinks, so I left them off. The overclocking specs that are pre-set in raspi-config are designed to be safe with the rasperry pi as-is. So I figured why bother?

Windows Remote Desktop and PiMAME not working
no, he's running it on a raspberry pi. He's just using a tutorial that is based on kindle. Which could work if he installed android, but then piplay wont work. Or he can reverse engineer it, but I think that it will be a lot more work than…

Windows Remote Desktop and PiMAME not working
While I'm sure that it is possible to do with some tweaking, I'm not sure that it would be worth it. I imagine running the remote software + emulator would lag your pi to oblivion. What is your endgame here? is it that you just want to use…

NES Emulator not working propperly
yeah, I would grab and official release .8 beta 3, unless you want to do some tinkering. Shea is close to finishing up several big bits (including migrating to mednafen instead of advmess) so not everything is quite ready. With a bit of work, you co…

Hide mouse cursor?
double check to make sure you didn't mis-spell anything ('False' must have a capital 'F'). Also, make sure that it is indented properly (2 tabs, then pygame.mouse.set_visible(False)) If you are still having problems, post th…

dip switch settings not saving
I can't remember exactly where the .advance folder is (/home/pi/.advance or /home/pi/pimame/.advance) but open that up and edit the advmame.rc file. There should be dip switch settings in there. If they are listed in more than one place, they c…

Driver for NES Controller ?
If you are just using a straight unmodified nes controller to gpio, you may also need to download an i2c package along with retrogame. Check out retrogame and i2c on adafruit.

[SOLVED] Stay on menu
no, that's not normal. it should kick you right back to the piplay menu. if it's kicking you to the command prompt, you can type 'exit' to get back into piplay.
