well, it uses supervisord to handle the web app. you can stop it with the command sudo supervisorctl stop all I was just checking out the documentation for supervisord, it looks like the config file could use an extra line. The config file is loca…

GPioneer - A side project compatible with PiPlay
hmm... I really have no idea why that would happen. I did notice that evdev (the core library that gpioneer uses) just recently got an update, I wonder if that has anything to do with it. I'll try to test it out when I get a chance, but I'…

PiPlay Requirements?
it will run on the pi1 A/B/A+/B+, but I really recommend the raspberry pi 2. It really has the extra oomph and is so much speedier.

Raspberry Pi Alternatives
The frontend of PiPlay can run on just about anything that handles linux. The emulators will probably have to be recompiled on whatever board you end up getting.

Possible to have multiple instances of a game and/or change Game titles?
yes, it does pull from a master DB, it's located in the same directory and it's named games_master.db. You can make edits to it, but when we release updates, they may get overwritten. The best way to do it would be to upload all of your ro…

Possible to have multiple instances of a game and/or change Game titles?
yes, you can. If you only have a handful of games in your romlist, you can edit the games in the web interface (it doesn't currently have a good way to navigate lots of games). Otherwise, you can download sqlitebrowser and edit the database di…

Xin-mo and TP Link W725N - Can I have both?
woo! sorry you had to shell out some money to get it working. But hey, at least it works! I was just reading that the latest linux kernel now supports arm 7 (raspberry pi 2). That's good news for everyone because we will have more access to sta…

I think that that would work.

Upgrading to PI Version 2B
if you do the way mentioned above, you won't need to patch your xin-mo (assuming it works). Otherwise, you will need to to patch it separately. It still hasn't been built into the current image. You could always just skip the xin-mo and ju…

Upgrading to PI Version 2B
right now, you will still have to patch your kernel to get your xin-mo working. I may be wrong (still trying to get confirmation on this), but I think that if you just run sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo rpi-update then you can …

yeah, pretty sure you should be getting sound out of both speakers

How to add a game to the Favorites folder
@atv223, you'll need to update to version 8beta9 to get the favorites to work. The big capital 'A' (press up and down to get other letters) just lets you quickly jump to a letter in your rom list.

Cannot open /home/pi/pimame/config/piplay-sound.state for reading: No such file or directory
no, we had re-written how piplay handles input and somewhere along the line mouse input got messed up. It's still not 100% buts it's getting there :D I'm glad that you got it working!

How to add a game to the Favorites folder
It's been a while as well, but if I remember, you need to highlight the game that you want, then press the menu button ('Tab' on a keyboard or 'Button3' on a joypad). Then you can select 'add to favorites'

PiSNES 2 player with same keyboard fix
I may be mistaken, but I believe that tankstick needs a modified kernel to work properly. can anyone confirm this?

Nice! that's a great looking setup! Nice and easy to put away when you want it out of the way.

awesome. I'll add that to our configs.

bios files and marvel vs capcom
it will automatically use the bios. I would just look for the 'neogeo' bios and grab the version that has the most files inside of it. you can even grab multiple bios's and put any missing files into it.

YAY! I'm glad that you got it working! Thanks for the heads up on the problems that you ran into. It will definitely make it easier to troubleshoot in the future.

You just put bios files in the roms folders (they should be in a zipped file, just like the roms). I can't remember off the top of my head where I found my bios files, I'm pretty sure that just googling it worked.

mame4all has no config file, it has to be configured inside the emulator. just run any game and then press 'tab' to open the config menu.

ok, first run sudo pip install flask pyyaml flask-sqlalchemy flask-admin then try restarting. If it still exits after a few seconds, try running the web frontend directly: sudo python /home/pi/gpioneer/web-frontend/app.py & you can also look a…

oh nice! I'm glad you got that working. yeah, that warning will always come up. It's a warning from the Rpi.GPIO module, it doesn't affect the running of it. You can use pins 3 and 5 though (I do), just make sure that the i2c interfa…

There's not a lot of documentation explaining what is going on with it, but you can access the source code in the github repository: https://github.com/ssilverm/pimame-8

what version of raspbian are you running? It seems that you have an x86 version of gcc installed. you can try sudo apt-get --purge remove gcc sudo apt-get install gcc
