Love it :) I was actually on a mission to get one of those controller plugs open the other night. A lot of people have trouble with them - I guess Nintendo techs back in the day had a nice 4-toothed clamp thing to pop them open with on squeeze. My solution, if anyone wants to try this, was to get fo...

Emulation is for preservation purposes, not for something you can buy at any used game store for some change. That's a bit of a hardline MAME stance :p Emulation for most people is about having a bit of fun, and there's nothing wrong with that. I agree that a Gamecube is the best way to play Gamecu...

The go-to emulator for Gamecube is Dolphin, and it's for reasonably powerful desktop PCs. (There is actually an official Dolphin port for Android now, but AFAIK it uses OpenGLES3 and isn't expected to run on any hardware but the Galaxy S4 at this stage). So for RPi-sized options, there really aren't...

Salvage from an old laptop, or you could find them at Radio Shack / your local equivalent for a couple of bucks. The ones you want are like little black plastic discs.

gruso

Yeah, that article will definitely set you down the right path

Hi everybody.. Nothing nothing nothing! :( Why? :( With a simple python code it's works (when i press the button the script writes "pressed" in the console, but with pikeyid no) Any more detailed info? Error messages? I had trouble getting it going. I kept notes as I went, here is a raw dump of the...

The ideal method would be to use the original buttons. You'd have to cut away the relevant parts of the Gameboy PCB, make new solder connections to the PCB, then connect them via GPIO. Then find a way to mount it all in place securely. It's fiddly stuff, and you may run into space issues. There are ...

Oh that's a bugger. Is there an alternative to using dispmanx? I can get the results I want in MAME4all on GP2X and Pandora.

Official thread is not far down the page :) http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=36067&start=125 I'm also waiting on more video options. They do exist in the original MAME4all, it's just a matter of the port author (who posts here as pudding) getting them into his Pi port. Not sure...

gruso

Thanks for this port! Working great in conjunction with mmoller2k's GPIO daemon.

What's on the horizon as far as video options go? I'd like to have pixel perfect integer scaling, like this:

gruso

Just wanted to say thanks for this. Working great with my arcade buttons in Advmame and Mame4all.

(FWIW, Mame4all doesn't care if the keyboard is connected.)

gruso

Ah, thanks again.

gruso

Awesome, thanks for that dom. The downloads aren't visible from the google code page!

gruso

Having to start an x session, then register for an additional service is... not very excellent.

gruso

RaTTuS kindly uploaded his recompiled kernel (for Debian Squeeze) here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=9450&p=114360 But I haven't even had time to turn the RPi on since then, let alone start on the learning curve of loading a new kernel. I thought maybe I could avoid that if...

gruso

Ah, thanks for the suggestion but I should have been more specific. I won't be running X, I need to boot into portrait mode console.

gruso

Thanks for the work everyone, and congrats on the 'official' release.

Question: Can I run my display in portrait mode with this release?

gruso

Thanks for the upload

I'll give it a try when I get a chance.

gruso

Great, thanks

gruso

Cool. I need this mode for a project I'm working on.

Any chance you could share your modified kernel?

gruso

Ok, looks like this is as simple as telling Python to send the key presses with os.system

gruso

I'm working on a hardware project that will include 4x momentary pushbuttons connected to GPIO. When a contact is closed, I want to send a keyboard press to the system (eg. the number '1'), which will be picked up by a third party application. I found gpio-keys by reggie: http://www.raspberrypi.org/...

gruso

This looks really interesting, it's a shame you guys haven't received more feedback. I won't have my Pi fired up until the weekend, but I'm keen to give this a run.

gruso

I have to disagree with normal. If you're building a box to contain HDD and optical drive, that seems to me like it's the ideal type of power supply. I would suggest going through a local supplier though, search here: www.staticice.com.au You want to know that you're getting a properly regulated pow...

gruso

Thanks for the comments :) Here's a screengrab of the parts I got from ebay: http://i.imgur.com/KXPcd.png Essentially if you want to extend the ports out to a rear panel, search for 'panel mount' adapters. In the end I didn't need everything in that list (miniUSB to microUSB adapter, twin USB panel ...
