PiMAME. Little F.A.Q
PiMAME: Little F.A.Q
We started the week resolving some questions you can find with this Raspbian loaded with emulators from Shea Silverman.
Here we go!
[Do not hear sound through HDMI]
Execute the following:
sudo amixer cset numid=3 2
sudo amixer cset numid=3 100%
sudo amixer cset numid=3 unmute
Edit the file config.txt as follows:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
and remove the # character from the line hdmi_drive=2
[I can't see the ROMs in the emulators]
Runs under the command line as follows:
sudo chmod 644 roms/*.*
sudo chmod 755 roms
Remember that you can use files in .zip although beware with uppercase extensions.
[How to configure my Xbox 360 Pad]
Edit the file advmenu.rc as follows:
sudo nano .advance/advmenu.rc
and changes from none to auto in the line device_joystick
Now install the driver:
sudo apt-get install xboxdrv
Edit the file rc.local as follows:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
and added after the lines with # characters the follow:
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --id 0 --led 2 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --id 1 --led 3 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
changing *--id * by *--wid * if your pad is wireless.
NOTE: The pad will not work on menus, only in games.
[and my USB Pad]
OK. Install the driver:
sudo apt-get install joystick
With the pad connected, execute the following:
jscal -c /dev/input/js0
Where js0 is the pad 0, js1 is 1,...
In this calibration app, do not touch any buttons until prompted. First set the horizontal axis pressing back + button (0), center+button (128), front+button (255). For the vertical axis: up+button (0), center+button (128) and finally down+button (255).
[Why cant' load some ROMs in the MAME4ALL]
This version is a port of MAME 0.37b5:
If it does not work the ROM you want, try the AdvanceMAME.
[Where can I get the ROMs]
Search on the internet, or the links below as the law of your country allows it (I am not responsible blah, blah, blah ...):
[End words]
The list of questions and answers will be updated with more questions. I recommend reading the official forum to answer your questions or below in the comments.
Thanks!
