The absolute easiest and fastest way to setup GPIO and have it integrated to all the emulators: bartop-arcade.com

works fantastic! just check out there products section. Well worth the time saving, and all the frustration.

Thank you for confirming what I already suspected lol. I am sure future updates will have menu sounds fully up and runnin’. I would be glad to help you out with any sound fx you need in the future. Just get a hold of me :)

Hey thanks for the quick response. I actually tried to set it up like the scroll in the gamelist tag with no success earlier today. I must be doing something wrong. I will definitely check out the documentation in the link you posted when i get back home this eve, I really appreciate it. I will let you know of my results. Absolutely, I would be more than happy to share any sounds I have laying around. I have a studio here in my house and am big time into music production, so if you need anything special I can probably make it too lol.

Edit: Yeah, i actually read that documentation yesterday while doing some searching on the subject. The only sound I see in the documentation being referred to is the scrollsound. I am starting to wonder if the other sounds have ever really been implemented? I haven’t really seen a theme with any others working really. But if you look at the default “simple” theme’s XML there is definitely references to other menu sounds.

But this is just the scroll sound correct? I have already added this. But how do you add other menu sounds, such as back, or system select? btw, i love that theme(Carbon), using it now. Me being a person that has migrated from using PC’s in my arcade machine builds, to the RPI, just looking for a way to kick the front end up a notch by adding some menu sounds i am use to.

I have a pi2, just got it going using a method, super easy:

Compilation
$ git clone https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-Retrogame-2Player-Pi2.git
$ cd Raspicade-Retrogame-2Player-Pi2
$ make

Retrogame requires the uinput kernel module. This is already present on the system but isn’t enabled by default. For testing, you can type:

sudo modprobe uinput

To make this persistent between reboots, append a line to /etc/modules (or edit the file) :

sudo sh -c ‘echo uinput >> /etc/modules’

Now we’re in good shape to test it! Retrogame needs to be run as root (need access to memory), i.e.:
sudo ./retrogame

Give it a try. If it seems to be working, press control+C to stop the program and we’ll then set up the system to launch this automatically in the background at startup.

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Before the final “exit 0” line, insert this line:

/home/pi/Raspicade-Retrogame-2Player-Pi2/retrogame &

If you placed the software in a different location, this line should be changed accordingly. “sudo” isn’t necessary here because the rc.local script is already run as root.

Reboot the system to test the startup function:

sudo reboot

Doesnt look like no one is going to help you with this. I think it’s kinda a taboo topic since their pushing the whole block thingy…..
