adding libretro-mame2003
Hi! I compiled this on my RPI2 a few months back because I wanted to play Indiana Jones and the temple of doom & it was too slow on advmame. But, every rom i ran only ran once for some reason. After that it stopped loading & I just scrapped …

Need a better Front End, ideally Attract mode.
Hey guys! THANKS! I've got more time & now getting back into my RPI stuff. I'll have to look into killing the desktop. I know you can do that on linux to get more speed but didn't think of it since attract mode ran so well on my …

Evil dead. Nice. And while I know you are working this and there are more important things that need work, I hope romlist generation will be one of them. Or at least some logic that ignores missing Roms in a directory when using a downloaded list.

No vertical?!?!? awww. but, new version does look pretty snazzy. I'll test it out fully this week.

Windows Mame versus PiPlay- What is the difference for the power demand?
i5 would be for some of the 3d games like Gauntlet legends & NFL Blitz. I don't know off-hand which games specifically have issues in mame4all or advmame. I can just say every game i've tried on mame4all runs full speed on the RPI 1B.…

Space Invaders Rotation offset fix
Wouldn't this be an emulator issue specifically? Which Mame are you using?

Hey download worked! but, the input doesn't register all the time when it comes to the arrow keys & it goes a little slow while cycling through the ROMs. however the video's seem to play fine. This is on an RPI using pyros. I can try r…

so, I got pyros to boot by copying the text from the Vertical rom file on the site. It must not like the .csv file open office exports. But, do I have to manually edit the list of roms I want to use? I only want 4-way vertical & trackball vertic…

I cannot download a good copy of the latest beta. it either stops short or zip is corrupt.

Hi, I left all the "*,sys" entries then pasted my "*,mame" entries. after. Only emulator is mame. If I wanted to put the latest pyrharckade on the pyros it shouldn't be a problem? I can send you my .csv after work today. Tha…

Thanks. I'm confused on the list of Roms. How to use them and what format they need to be in. Every time I put my custom list of Roms on pyros it stops booting into the front end for instance. My list is just an export of my ROM directory follo…

Thank you. I got it to run. But, do I put my Roms inside the pyharkade folder under Mame? Or leave them in the .advance folder? I put Roms in both places but the media option is just creating generic images in the directories and telling me no media…

I'm sorry, but is there any documentation in english on the front end or the pyros? I'd love to use this on my vert cab but i can't even navigate the menu because I don't know which buttons to press to go back. I also don't …

Hi, I was on my tablet and didn't provide a good error message. I downloaded just the emulator. I get an error when I try to start it and can't get any further. I will post that error tonight. Thankyou.

I will probably use a Kade device. Are there depends for the front end? when I downloaded it, it gave me an error claiming it couldn't open an image file but listed two image files at once.

MAME only for vertical cab
PM sent. Mame4all has a config script also. A lot of the info for it is in the thread on the RPI forums.

MAME only for vertical cab
Hi, I've done this using the moebious version of raspbian. All CLI. It boots up horizontally into advmenu rotated for vertical only games. Then it calls up mame4all which is set to run rotated also in the config files. I decided since i wanted …

Mouse not working with Mame4All
A second install of mame4all might work. One dedicated to trackball games. Gpio interface would bypass the need for USB and hopefully let you use the trackball then. Goto advancemame instead?

I don't want to use" display_rotate=1" . I want to rotate the front end and the emulator only. Advmenu and Mame4all in this case. But, i'll check it out. I like it's based off Moebius which was where I was going to start …
