Front End Multi Platforme
Very nice! Looks good! Do you load the entire dat file into memory or do you call it on a game by game basis to get the game info?

Rom folder in External Hard drive?
@seagull - yes, you can run roms from a memory stick. @Conno123009 - it's mostly the same, but with formats like ntfs you have to install drivers. I kept my thumbdrive formatted as ntfs so that I can still plug it into my windows machine to t…

Custom 'Enter' key in 0.8 Beta
I'm not sure what what post you were looking at, but I just double checked the coding and 'c' is not an option. There are 3 keys that work as 'confirm' -> enter, space, or enter on numberpad.

python has this weird problem with dictionaries where it doesn't keep them in the order that they were added. you have to go through and call a sorted method to get them to come out the way you want. it was probably just an oversight when they …

Download rom´s
you can't ask that in these forums. This website is for questions about piplay and the raspberry pi only. The promotion and distribution of unlicensed roms is illegal.

Advance MAME Menu
you aren't missing anything, yet. Right now it is slooow when loading that many games (I have about 6000). There are 4 fixes that should be releasing soon (it's not where I want the menu to end up, but it's a start). 1) alphabetizati…

Help! MAME4ALL and more
yeah, I understand the difference between the different types. What I'm saying is that right now just the parents will be verified, not the clones.

Help! MAME4ALL and more
right now we just verify non-merged. if we want to add functionality to scan split-merge or fully merged, we would simply check for the 'cloneof="1942' attribute and then add the parent crc's to the list to check against. it woul…

Help! MAME4ALL and more
The problem with creating the crc for an entire zip is that there aren't any dat's that contain that information, they all list each file in the zip. so the zip file has to be read, and each crc obtained and compared. There are a lot of da…

it reads the contents of each zipfile, grabbing the crc of each file inside, then compares it to the listed crc's in the dat file to verify that there are no missing files. It then compiles a .cache file that contains the rom file name, the rea…

Help! MAME4ALL and more
number 1 is fixed when the new version comes out. We have addded a rom scraper utility that will compare the crc of files to a database and grab their real name. it will also verify that they are the correct romset. for number 3, try this solution:…

That adapter is using the gpio's. It just has an I2C chip to expand the number of gpio's.

After pressing Alt + F1 how do I open PiPlay menu again
if you are in X and you have several windows open running piplay, it will takes lots of resources. But, I believe that if you are using f1-f6 'tabs' (or whatever you want to call them) it halts the processes running until you get back to t…

just for reference, my cpu temp sits at a steady 61C under load (overclocked to turbo) with no heatsinks, no fans.

wireless keyboard
Do you have something else plugged in to the other usb port? sometimes there are compatibility issues. I had this problem for a while when i had my wireless keyboard and a thumb drive both connected.

Controller issues and emulator crashing
I have used a third party wired xbox controller, and it worked no problem. I honestly recomment just wiring buttons up to the gpio pins on the pi. I havent had any problems going that route.

After pressing Alt + F1 how do I open PiPlay menu again
Think of Alt + F[1-6] as tabs in your web browser. Each one is independent of the others and saves its place while work on other 'tabs' is being done. typing 'exit' is the way to quit the shell (if you are in desktop, the shell c…

Pcsx_rearmed controls/file path not persistent between reboots
I don't really recommend the heatsinks, as there is no way to clamp them onto the chips. I tried some myself, and they helped a very small amount, but the best thing that you can do for your pi is to just get a small vent fan to expel some of t…

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
I wouldn't count on seeing xbmc for a while. There are still a lot of other pressing issues that need to be worked on. Personally, I would just get a second sd card and load an image of xbmc on it, or load up NOOBS and throw the images on it

After pressing Alt + F1 how do I open PiPlay menu again
Alt + [F1 -> F6] are like alternate pages in command prompt, you can work your way through them and find your piplay menu again. Typing 'exit' is my preferred way, but if you use it when in a command prompt 'shell' it will jus…

Does the Adafruit PiTFT work with PiPlay
it shouldn't be a problem since they built a kernel that installs over raspbian/derivatives (debian), rather than replacing it.

I think that this may be more of a raspberry-pi/alsa deal, rather than pimame. I posted this article somewhere else in this discussion, but if you haven't checked it out, you should. There is a section on saving the alsa state that may help you…

Rom folder in External Hard drive?
type sudo rm /home/pi/pimame/roms/nes if there are files in there, you have to add a recursive function to delete everything, so you would then typesudo rm -r /home/pi/pimame/roms/nes
