sfiii.zip isn't a valid romname for pifba. Is it supposed to be a street fighter game? You can check out the file /home/pi/pimame/emulators/fba/zipname.fba. That lists all of the working games (it lists the zip name and then the full title)

You could always just use the .8.4.0 image and then use the updater as well.

Shea is on vacation this week. I'm not sure what process he uses to create the images, but I think that he may have just forgotten to remove the unused space when writing the card.

[SOLVED]PSX_Rearmed Bios Location .8b4.1
Good news guys! I had to dive into the emulator source code, but I figured it out. It turns out, the programming for pcsx rearmed is a little bit screwy. It is supposed to find the home directory (/home/pi) and then create two folders (.pcsx and bio…

Nintendo 64 Crashing instantly
I don't know that N64 will ever really be able to run on the PI. The Nintendo 64 is a hard nut to crack. I'm not sure that anyone on these forums has been able to get n64 to work in any serious way. Shea had a demo video of starfox running…

Xin-mo setup on PiPlay beta 4.
right now, the controller config doesn't support adding a second controller. You can manually edit the config files to add 2 player though. Shea is the one who wrote the controller script and he will be on vacation this week, but I know that it…

PiPlay updater working properly?
The piplay updater just grabs the files straight from the repository. So running it multiple times does no good, it just grabs the same files each time. There is a file located at /home/pi/pimame/version that corresponds to our latest version releas…

@pfunk - for the rom scraper, you only have to type it once and then press enter. Or you can wait for the timer to get to 0 and it will default to 'yes'. right now, when you run a game, we kill the piplay frontend so that it's not us…

Rom Scraper Error
ok, so what that error is telling you is that it is trying to compare rom_name to game_entry.ascii_title but they aren't in the same format. Meaning that you have roms names that contain Unicode characters rather than just Ascii characters. You…

startx just reloads /home/pi/.profile, which does re-run piplay, but if you exit piplay again from there, you will be at the desktop. It's a bug that we are trying to work out.

dgenrc.5 is actually just an example file. You need to edit /home/pi/.dgen/dgenrc (there is no file extension, it's just dgenrc)

It does work with fba, you just need to set the custom control flag. if you edit /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/config.yaml, find the final burn section and edit the 'command:' portion to look like this command: /home/pi/pimame/emulators/fba…

I just double checked. it's /home/pi/.advance if you are using filezilla, you need to click "server" (it's in the top menu bar), then click "force showing hidden files"

Suggestions for "control" keys on converting a Porta-Pi from RetroPie to PiPlay
just use the adafruit retrogame utility. I have the old version here. You should also head over to Adafruit (link to the tutorial) to get the tutorial on how to run it all. It's really easy.
