Can't find ROMs on USB Drive
- any filesystem is ok for the usb dongle as long as the pi can read it. i used to use ext4. Assuming the usb dongle is sda with only one partition : # mount /dev/sda1 /home/pi/pimame/roms since you're using a windows filesystem, you may have …

Hiss on audio, but only when nothing is playing and the sound is active
This issue is firmware based from my experience (got to this point after a firmware update on a pi B).

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
Here's an early patch to enable the "disable pad" option ;-) Seems to be working fine so far. * pmconfig.py : class PMOptions: def __init__(…) […] self.allow_pad = opts['allow_pad'] * mainscene.py def handle_eve…

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
Some thoughts concerning pi(mame)play-menu : - if nb_items_to_show == max_nb_items_per_screen then don't create a new page menu, just show the items since they fit on a single page. Why : cause it looks better ^^ - option (config.yaml?) to di…

@redwing1978 try using $ ZZZZZ script. if it's not too old a version that should mostly be it (sys upgrade + firmware upgrade + piplay-menu pulled from git) if it's an old version, try $ sudo picade-piplay -U && sudo picade-piplay…

Roms Mame4all
@jjd99d $ ls /home/pi/pimame/roms/mame4all/ | wc -w will output the number of roms in the right folder. if it's none or too small a number, roms probably aren't in the right folder. $ ls -lh /home/pi/pimame/roms/mame4all/ | head | awk &#…

Help Make PiPlay Better! - PiPlay 0.8b4 Known Issues / Bugs
This comment may or may not be relevant for 0.8b4, since the piplay version running is actually a git snapshot somewhere between 0.8b3 & 0.8b4. Have a look at this shot : http://www.lateo.net/dl/screenshots/divers/piplay_shot-2014-07-20.jpg (&q…

What/How do i get things rolling?
@mckinkymcormic 10:13PM no clue. give us your screen resolution so that someone may answer. i'd just give the last file a shot, if it works then it works ^^

the easy way : - go to http://blog.sheasilverman.com/pimame-raspberry-pi-os-download/ - pick one version, download the file - it's a disk image file - plug the sd card in your desktop computer. if you computer «mounts» it on his own, yo…

PiPlay with only Mame
nano /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/config.yaml look for «menu_items:» section, you can set all the unwanted entries to «visible: No» edit: mholgatem was faster ^^

Added some "doc" at http://repo.lateo.net/ Look for provided buttons mapping at the end of the picade page. MAME4ALL default untouched atm, yet unsure if i should provide a custom ingame config or not. If custom, it will be for picade max…

dont scape to menu?
my guess is : you would have to hack into mainscene.py in order to modify or disable K_ESCAPE related event. i believe this has already been discussed somewhere in this forum, give it a try.

Overclocking
i currently use 900MHz 2 overvolt, but may try "turbo mode" since i got 3 heatsinks on it. You shouldn't need a fan for a Pi ; if you need more power maybe you should have a look at other low-cost dev boards, like those open source ha…

Audio Issues PiPlay/Picade
Audio just works fine after forcing output to 3.5mm jack here. (tested with Piplay 0.8 beta1 & beta3) Only issue is some "buzzing" (unsure how to say this) background sound with the latest firmware (provided with Piplay 0.8 beta3) wh…

@mholgatem will the nice naming work for mame4all or only advmame? I tried the mame4all.lst thing without success (i'm not using advmame).
