PiPlay has stopped working on start up.
Hmm yeah still no luck after trying the top suggestion. I cleared some unused roms in case its a space issues. Now i get the error "sqlite3.OperationalError: no such table: options" rather than the database or disk is full. Dont seem to b…

Doing something stooopid with ROM uploader
I definitely recommend going down the FileZilla FTP route. Was having plenty of trouble with files timing out and not uploading properly with the browser based utility.

SF2 CE (and Hyper Fighting) works fine, I've yet to get SF3 running on it though.

SF2
Ah okay, thanks @melodical. A shame but good to know. Have found the Metal Slug series similarly difficult to get going (as in not at all), these have support Bios but wonder if its for a similar reason.

Wireless keyboard/trackpad

Yeah cool worked that bit out and when navigating to the Pi's IP address -> Database Admin -> GPioneer it looked like it had assigned the "enter" key to player 1 button 1 like i wanted, but still didnt work. Will have another lo…

GPioneer - A side project compatible with PiPlay
Would also be interested to see how to go about creating a volume up and down control using the held down 1P coin button (pin 33) + up on joystick (pin 3) and 1P coin button (pin 33) + down on joystick (pin 5). Also is there a list of all keyboard …

GPioneer - A side project compatible with PiPlay
Okay so fired this up. Installed and ran the config tool which all seemed to go well. I set the select button to to button 1 but that doesnt seem to work in the Pi Play menu or within Advance Mame (when i navigate there with the keyboard). Left, rig…

GPioneer - A side project compatible with PiPlay
Oooooow, control volume. I'd like that. Would it be hard to move from one to the other (and back if something breaks)? The flexibility of it sounds great in lieu of all the basic functions on mine working but anything secondary doesnt. Might …

Well done @mholgatem great idea. No one knows better than you the problems encountered when trying to get the GPIO based joysticks/buttons working (I alone have been harassing you with no end of questions and troubleshooting advice!). Now that I…

Wireless keyboard/trackpad
Yeah straight into the Pi. Quite possibly a power issue like you say. Think I'll just go with a wired version (dont need it often) rather than get a powered usb. Raspberry Pi 2 B by the way.

Wireless keyboard/trackpad
Joystick is GPIO based joystick and buttons I've wired up with the Adafruit utility. Keyboard is a Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard. Doesnt really make sense to me that there should be some sort of conflict, but seems to be okay without it. …

DK, sure but too obvious. :) Unfortunately the 1Up and 2Up buttons have to be that way to fit (design fault), microswitches can only go one way, bummer but my OCD is suffering. ;) Power plug is in the perfect spot for the position for the spot I w…

Thanks @SSilver2k2, I like it. Wanted something to put on the decking and not really seem like a games machine if the controller was pointed away from you... but on closer inspection. :)

:) Thanks. I live in South Australia and we have a very good wine industry thus Barrels can be picked up at hardware stores or surplus yards, pretty much anywhere (some in better condition than others). Its all pretty much reversible too so can just…

So all but done at my end. Massive thanks to @mholgatem, he's been a huge help getting all the bits and bobs working. Took inspiration from another DK build i saw online but went for a variation so that fighting games were available to me. Been…

Question about wiring
That second link you posted @thak, I'm using a 4 four pin one of those in my controller setup and am finding it pretty flakey. Its okay but sometimes when you go to connect it the pins dont line up great and it becomes a chore. Quite far from q…

Managing ROMS - clrmamepro
So i have one more question on clrmamepro. Ran it though my ROMS and seemed to work okay and got a bunch more ROMS work. However its populated my rom list with an absolute stack of roms titles i didnt previously have before. I realise that some may …

Moving hosts - Completed
I am having the whole "no network connection" within PiPlay despite the fact i can connect to the network no problem through Rasbian. Anything to do with this? Suggestions to rectify?

Mame Roms that actually work
I'm going to have to start looking into this soon. Anyone had clrmame pro running on a mac? Looks to be a Linux WINE/Mac crossover but I'm not really sure what that means.

set button 1 as Enter as well as Left Ctrl in Advmame
Hmm yeah that wont work for me, get and "unknown input error", or something along those likes. Tried both [0,lcontrol] and [0,lshift] which are my 4 and 1 buttons respectively.
