Hiding unused Emulators: HOW do I edit config.yaml?
if your pi is on your network, then you can edit the files using an ssh program like PuTTY or you can use FileZilla to move the files between your computer and your pi (just put in the ip address of your pi, password is 'raspberry'). or fi…

Xbox360 Controller Issue
the issue with the several button presses is most likely due to a debounce issue. Which we have fixed for the next update. Not sure about the rest of it though.

Hiding Unused Emulators?
@Dave - To hide emulators, you need to edit /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/config.yaml under each emulator listing you should have an option called 'visible'. Just set that to 'False' or 'No'

You will only have to edit that if you re-configure your controller. So basically, the system is seeing the two of your controllers, as one device. so enabling xin-mo for snes, causes the emulator to handle the singular input as two different device…

yup. you need to make sure that you are supplying enough juice. 5v-2A is what the B+ should have.

Neo Geo not working?
forgot to ask, did you make sure that you are trying to run a rom that fba supports? There's a list of them located in /home/pi/pimame/emulators/fba/fba_029671_clrmame_dat.zip

I don't really play ps1 games. I've tested metal gear solid. it ran ok. But I pretty much stick to nes/snes/neo-geo.

How To Create a Custom Theme
yeah, I'll add it with the next update. I"m going to be changing some things around with the next update to support box-art/descriptions as well as possibly a new 'flow' mode rather than the standard grid.

make sure you have the neogeo.zip file in with your roms.

Why dose piplay include so old ScummVM?
I'm not sure about that. Shea ( @SSilver2k2 ) would be the one to talk to.

can you post the error along with the version that you are running?

PiPlay and IPac inputs configuration/rebinding
Mame4all has to be configured separately from the rest. In the mame4all emulator, press 'tab' and then configure your controls.

Yeah. You can. Probably can't run ps1 games, but most everything else should run.

ScummVM Config file? Joystick as mouse.
you need to edit /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/config.yaml. Just find the Scummvm section.

FPS Performance Issues when Rotating Screen 90 degrees ( frame-rate drop from 60 to 15 fps! )
As far as i can tell, you should be running fine. can you post your /boot/config.txt file? also, are you overclocked? Right now, the only thing that i can think, would be for you to format and reflash the piplay image to your sd card (or try a diffe…

FPS Performance Issues when Rotating Screen 90 degrees ( frame-rate drop from 60 to 15 fps! )
I don't have any of my mame roms loaded up right now, so I can't test it at the moment, but we've had questions of rotation come up previously with no one reporting poor fps performance. Can you give me some details about your setup? …

no problem. Projects are piling up around me, so I may be a little slow to respond sometimes. ok, give this a try, in fceux.cfg, edit line 156:SDL.Input.GamePad.1DeviceType = 1 and in snes9x.cfg edit line 72: XinMoEnabled=1

If you go into /home/pi/.fceux/fceux.cfg - or - /home/pi/pimame/emulators/pisnes/snes9x.cfg you can check out your current config files to see how everything mapped.

I had to delete your comment from the other section as it wasn't a feature request. sorry. I can definitely tell you that both the nes and snes emulators support 2 players. Let's see if we can troubleshoot this. Do your controllers registe…

My fba2x.cfg (key map matches standard MAME)
no, unfortunately you can't. If you are using the gpio, then you can use something like this. it's a modified version of adafruit's retrogame that will allow you to set lots of combo buttons. I believe that user Ian57 also has somet…

Xin-Mo vs GPIO (Latency Q's)
There isn't a big difference between the two, but I would stick with gpio for compatibility reasons. While we have worked xin-mo compatibilty into most of the current emulators, who knows what may come down the line?

Rotation
I believe that mame4all has a way to display framerate (somewhere in settings) but I could be wrong. it's been a long time since I messed with it. Make sure you use raspi-config to set your overclock settings and you should be fine. If you do i…

@atv223 - just an fyi, you can also use raspi-config to force audio through either hdmi or 3.5mm.
