Map the keys in all the emulators to use the MAME keyboard keys. I haven't had time to play with all the emulators but I just figured out how to map them for SNES9x.
Is it possible to make a version of Cabrio Frontend? Hyperspin is a marvelous software, but Cabrio looks like a good opponent. What do you think about this? Regards
Hi - I like the simplicity of the existing frontend, but I am wondering if it's possible to customize the frontend so the font is smaller? Perhaps even use a different font such as slicker.ttf, like the old gamelauncher frontend?
Cheers

Update: actually I just realised this request is really just for mame4all, perhaps this is the wrong place to post. sorry :)
I would *love* to see the ILI9325 TFT driver incorporated into the build. I think this is a super cool project http://spritesmods.com/?art=rpi_arcade and he's posted a kernel patch, but I still have not been successful in setting up to cross compile a kernel. I'm just more of a hardware guy.
Maybe this already exists, maybe it doesn't (I'm sorry if it does), but could you start putting the PiMAME version/release number somewhere? Maybe on the main menu? Or even just on the Tools menu?
I'm actually making a cabinet with the raspberry and your software (Look amazing and i think you are great). Today i see a great new. PiFBA si announced!!! I'm a D&D tower of doom fan. Is it possible to include this one in next versions of pimame? Thanks very much, crack!!
Please allow us to map an exit button so we can return to the frontend without pressing escape. ideally an ability to map combo buttons to exit a rom without using the ESC key.
First of all I just want to say excellent job with this bundle of emulators !! Second is a question is it possible to emulate a psp with a raspian pie ? Cheers , Clas
Don't have my system with me but is pygame included in the system? Write a couple of scripts. First script would setup a joystick and the second would be a modification to the initial menu to accept joystick control.
A universal 'controller configuration' tool would be really helpful.
Digging around for configuration files is quite cumbersome. I'm still not sure how to configure the NES emulator for my Xbox 360 controller.
Would be great to have a tool where you just picked a system and it would prompt you to press left, right, up, down, A, B, etc on your controller. And boom. Everything is assigned.
They do not run 100% but might be still of interest to bring over to the Raspberry Pi as they have been optimized for the Xbox 1 which is pretty weak by todays standards but when it came out it was quite powerful. But this is good as it should be on the same level as the Raspberry Pi.
These are all compiled with the official xbox devkit, thus are not in wide circulation. But if it sparks anyones interest I think they're (source code) on the xbins ftp http://xbins.org/faq.php
If anything these videos will atleast serve as inspiration for what might be possible on the Raspy after Nintendo 64 has been tackled :)
Ok i just finish to try with "sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-swx11" and it s slow .... really ... really slow ... arf . i continue to work on it with some stuff like alternative 3D drivers for pi ... see you :)
Sorry I am a noob here, I am making a cabinet as a hobby... and picked up a Raspberry Pi 512. I was looking at some of the emulations modes... I was wondering if there was any emulation for the PC-Engine? I been a huge fan of my japanese unit since the mid 90's. Is that something that might or could be added for the future?
Is it possible to have all the menu's work with space/ctrl/option instead of return? With a mame keymapping, the first 3 action buttons are mapped as ctrl/opt/space, and return is often behind a shifted button.
