How are you going to connect the kit to raspberry? Gpio? Keyboard encoder?
[EDIT] ok, it has an USB interface… I don’t now if it could work…

[francesconuma]

You have to look for a file named Makefile.. I can’t verify now the exact position..

[francesconuma]

Do the controls on the RetroArch emulators (NES, Atari 2600, PSX, Mega Drive, etc.) work for you?

Sorry I didn’t try yet. I can suppose not, also for me.

[francesconuma]

Great, thanks all

[francesconuma]

No response at all.

[francesconuma]

I think the solution is quite simple, but we need a c or python script traslating from gpio to evdev, and someone who can write it. I think emulationstation programmer is not really interested on the problem because there is a gpio adapter we can buy on the site to connect retro joystick. So we have to find a solution by ourselves…

You need to download clearmame pro and process your romset via the dat file inside mame4all-pi. Instruction s on clearmame site…

[francesconuma]

There is a function on clearmame to merge parent and clones in the same rom. Maybe this should help. Some game also needs samples inside mame sample folder.. I rebuild my romset with cleatmame using the .dat file present inside mame4allpi folde

[francesconuma]

and none is working? The error is?
If you launch mame from mame4all-pi directory, does they work?

[francesconuma]

Are the roms in zip format (maybe the problem is .7z)?

[francesconuma]

Maybe someone could mix snesDEV with retrogame… Any c programmer here?

[francesconuma]

Mame4all or advancemame?

[francesconuma]

Maybe using a wrong romset. Supported is 0.37b5.

the Python script is considering rebounce as in retrogame did you try with a “shot” button?

[francesconuma]

I wrote to retrogame.c programmer asking for help.

[francesconuma]

I’m using mame4all-pi as emulator and It’s autoloaded via the /etc/profile file. Just changed “emulationstation” with “/…??/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame”

[francesconuma]

Oh, bad news here!
This is the code I used:

How did you resolve the problem?
