beta6 and nes isn't still working
I believe we have a fix, at least for my setup. I'm using a powered HDMI to VGI cable to a 5:4 monitor with a max res of 1280 x 1024. Remove both hash marks from "force counsel size" to force a 720 resolution as well as removing # f…

Remove escape to console
you can, but it will require editing the source code. you need to edit this file:

/home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/pmmenu/mainscene.py

Scroll down near the bottom and find the function called handle_events. It should look like this -> def handle_…

Use graphical V0.8 pimame-menu with current configuration
Here is an idea how to use a lot of the upcoming pimame-menu already, even though it's not finished yet.

In case you, like me, just can't wait for the new graphical pimame menu :-)

(Please note, I really love the work that has been put…

My fba2x.cfg (key map matches standard MAME)
Don't know if anyone is interested but it took me a while to sort this, so might save some time.

I am using a i-pac so basically keyboard commands.

Can't get certain ROMs to work or no sound!!!!
You might not be outputting sound to the HDMI port. Do you get any sound if you plug in speakers to the 1/8" jack?

sudo amixer cset numid=3 2

This makes the HDMI the default port for audio

sudo amixer c…
