So are you saying when you enter the Tab: Input (General) selecting UP then pressing Return to blank the selection and pushing UP on your Joystick it isn't detected? I do recall pudding mentioning some Joystick for HAT's were not detected (Issue 17 http://code.google.com/p/mame4all-pi/is ... tail?id=17) but I assumed this had now been addressed. Heres the full Issues List http://code.google.com/p/mame4all-pi/is ... ells=tiles may be of help.
No you will need an OS as well. Raspbian is the easiest to work with.encryptor wrote:I'm ready to use an arcade emulator. I've downloaded pimenu.zip and mame4all_pi.zip. What's next? I'm assuming to unzip the mame4all_pi.zip onto my SD card. Is this an operating system as well? Then maybe unzip pimenu.zip onto the SD card.

I often read in this forum that piFBA and piMAME4All push rPi to its limits, and surely it is so... but maybe there could be done still some small improvements (on input latency for example) improve emulation experience?bidinou wrote:To be more accurate, the working toki version is "tokib".
I now use advancemenu with a mix of mame4all / pifba / retroarch / pisnes... It's getting pretty great.
Also I use MAME4all instead of piFBA whenever possible. The latter if faster but the input latency is better with the former. So for instance, Ddonpach is much more playable (latency) under MAME4ALL, but it's pretty jerky (it's OK when I use the turbo mode).
Not sure it's such a great idea to use the turbo mode, though.
