X-Box Controller
oh, it's my bad. I didn't read it thoroughly enough. Yes, there is a bug in the controller config for snes. It's already fixed, but if you don't want to wait for the next update, you can do this. cd /home/pi/pimame/controller-set…

Arcade controls working in PiPlay but not in AdvMame ROMS
When you get through all of the controls, it will ask if you want to configure player 2. If you select 'no', it will save the config, otherwise you need to get through all of the controls for player 2 and then it will auto save. If you run…

X-Box Controller
you just need to edit /home/pi/pimame/config/xboxdrv_mapping.cfg. I set mine up so that if you press left bumper, left trigger, right bumper, right trigger (in that order), it will type 'exit' which is handy if you want to get from the co…

Don't worry, it's not retrogame. You just need to configure the controls using the controller config. In the piplay main menu, press 'Tab' then scroll down to "controller config". Select the emulator you want to configu…

yeah, I get the same problem. I've brought it up to Shea, but he's got a lot on his plate right now. I know that with the chrome mobile browser (probably others too), you can click the menu (3 dots) and select 'Request desktop site�…

HAPP Joystick problems
When you run the controller config, it doesn't fix your problem with the emulators? To reconfigure the controls for piplay, you need to edit this file: /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/controller.yaml The file itself is pretty self explanatory, ju…

Few problems with piplay/raspberry
yeah, the select thing gets me every time. Can't tell you how many times I've reconfigured my controllers because I forget that they use select :D

Remember that in balloon fight, you select 2 players by pressing the 'select' button, not up/down. The audio issue is due to when the audio drivers are loading. If you just google something like 'rpi audio boot animation', you s…

ah, so the problems are probably coming from your xin-mo board. You will need to update your kernel. Check out this thead: http://piplay.org/forum/discussion/1840/another-xin-mo-question-mutliple-button-presses#Item_7

ok, I'm thinking that your sound settings are getting overridden by piplay. Do this: sudo amixer cset numid=3 1 sudo alsactl -f /home/pi/pimame/config/piplay-sound.state store

After you use sudo amixer cset numid=3 1 you need to save the state with: sudo alsactl store When you say that you changed controllsettings, do you mean you ran the controller config from the main menu of piplay?

1. what are you using to change from hdmi to headphone jack? 2. type 'exit' from the command line, that should reload the .profile, which in turn will reload piplay. Alternately, you can also do python ~/pimame/pimame-menu/launchmenu.py …

Doing something stooopid with ROM uploader
yeah, unfortunately there is a lot of restrictions when it comes to browser based uploads. Different browsers handle it it different ways. Some put caps on the number of files that can go at once, some put caps on file size. I usually recommend ftp …

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
hmm... That's an interesting thought. I did something similar on an unrelated project, but I used a cheapo arduino. I may look into what it would take to add this but I'm not sure how many people would actually be able to use it. They woul…

the username/password portion has not been part of the web front end for a while now, so don't worry about that. you do need to make sure that they are the right format. The web frontend only allows specific file extensions 'txt', &…

how do i install properly PIPLAY?
first, make sure that you are booting to the command line, not the desktop: sudo raspi-config choose option 3: boot to Desktop/scratch Console Text console, requiring login (default) next you want to check your /home/pi/.profile record. This is a f…

ok, did you flash the piplay image to the sd card or did you flash raspbian? Either way works, but if you did raspbian, then you will need to follow these directions.

Do you currently use Windows or a Mac?

@JohnDumais, Thanks! I've been casually using it for a while now and haven't really had any problems, so I hope that it's the same for everyone else!

2 USB ports, how do I set controls for two xbox controllers?
Right, the nes emulator only allows for keyboard keys for escape. the config file for fceux is located in the hidden folder at /home/pi/.fceux/fceux.cfg

Control config for NES
It's mostly dependent on Shea at this point. He's going to be at Orlando IX for an unrelated project that we've been working on (that happens in 9 days). So it will probably be a bit after that I would imagine. We have a couple of joi…

Shea is looking into some alternatives to fceux, so I'm holding off until he decides which emulator we will be using. Right now, fceux still requires a keyboard

Button exits snes even after remap
It's not you. It's the formatter that handles SNES. It'll be fixed in the next update. In the meantime you can do this. in command line, type this: cd ~/pimame/controller-setup/formatters/ wget -O pisnes.py https://raw.githubuserconte…
