GPioneer - A side project compatible with PiPlay
technically, yes. You could use the gpioneer flag and then connect your standard button between one of the i2c pins (3 or 5) and a ground pin, just be careful not to mix them with the normal pins as you can cause a short. An alternative as well woul…

From what I see from your touch sensor, it puts the output line high when touched, which means that you need to set the gpio pin internal resistor to pulldown. In Retrogame, You can edit line 330ish to change to a pulldown gpio[GPPUD] = 2; I�…

Problem with my joysticks
ok. From the pictures, it looks like a xin-mo encoder card (or a derivative there of). check it out this thread: http://piplay.org/forum/discussion/1840/another-xin-mo-question-mutliple-button-presses#Item_7

Problem with my joysticks
sorry, I'm confused about what you are saying that your problem is. Are you saying that it's not recognizing player 2 in your games?

xboxdrv_mapping.cfg / Controller Configuration / pisnes.snes9x.cfg in PiPlay
ok, so xboxdrv_mapping.cfg is what is used by the xbox drivers to map the buttons and joysticks on your xbox controller to keystrokes and whatnot. the piplay controller config asks you to configure your buttons, then directly re-writes the configur…

one last thing, can you tell me which pins are being activated with the combo? (You can check the GPioneer table in the web-frontend if you don't know off-hand)

hmm. Two things, if you wouldn't mind checking... first, check to make sure that retrogame is not getting enabled: nano ~/.profile sudo nano /etc/rc.local second, what happens if you assign ESC to just a single button? does it still freeze?

Basic setup questions

piplay controls audio via 2 methods. The in-menu music (only some themes have music) is controlled using pygame's built-in volume control, which does not directly affect anything outside of the piplay music. The volume adjust is controlling aud…

PiPlay startup options configuration ~/.profile
ah, ok. so this is an easy one. Just put a # in front of these two lines so that they look like this:#cd /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/ #python launchmenu.py In order to add a custom command that will quickly run piplay, do this: sudo nano /usr/bin/pi…

Yes, you can. It will register each as a separate device. The only thing that it doesn't play well with is other programs that use the gpio (retrogame) because it cant see what pins that they are trying to control

Did you at some point alter your /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/controller.yaml file? maybe 'enter' isn't the key that you need for that anymore. You can rerun the configuration by running: sudo python ~/gpioneer/GPioneer.py -c a 3 bu…

the text that shows up is normal, it's just a debug message from a background program that we have no control over. The problem that you are having is a known bug, In the pisnes config, there are 2 Quit options (one for keyboard and one for joy…

it sounds like the default config is kicking in for some reason (which mistakenly assigns button0 to the quit button). try this: sudo apt-get install joystick Then run jstest and test each button (write down the value for each button): jstest /dev…

ok, I just updated the installer. It will now automatically comment out retrogame from your /etc/rc.local and/or /home/pi/.profile files so that retrogame won't activate on startup, but the files will still be there. If you decide that you want…

Yeah, it's really easy to switch around because it doesn't really install anything that piplay doesn't already install. Are you running Adafruit's Retrogame utility currently?

Thanks. I've just been enjoying the fact that I can now control volume and I have about 5 games that I can auto launch with the press of a button.

That's an error, I'll have to adjust the scraper to ignore .sav files. I didn't know that any of the emulators generated files into their own rom folder

hmm... my first thought is it's possibly a power issue. is the usb plugged directly into your pi or into a powered usb hub? (also, are you on a pi a/b/a+/b+/b2?
