Re: Help with bootup error

Notepad++ is a brilliant text editor for Windows. Notepadqq (Qt) for Linux not quite as feature rich, but still better than the stock editors IMO. As you touched on, if you edit a file under Windows it will change the EOL character format. This is easily changed back in Notepad++ with Edit > EOL Con...

Re: ARpiCADE meets Vertipie (WIP)

Re: ARpiCADE meets Vertipie (WIP)

Very nice. Now wish I had a second matching Astro City dedicated for vertical use! Oh well.

Seems the 1P Green & 2P Pink buttons (with yellow start buttons) was standard issue. Eggzachary like mine!

Re: HOWTO: Enable Wi-Fi and SFTP access to transfer your ROMs via a Windows PC using WinSCP!

As per my post in the ARpiCADE 3.8 thread, to make the process a bit more easier (after you add roms) connect as root and edit the /boot/run.sh file. You can just right-click and edit the file within WinSCP using it's in-built editor. Add the line if [ $(tty) != "/dev/tty1" ]; then exit; fi right af...

Got for it.... please use however you like.

On linux you can easily use Filezilla as the client, or even Gigolo as included on Xubuntu by default simply by using the SSH service type.

... and if you're really bored and have too much time to burn, install and configure sshfs to mount it! :P

Re: HOWTO: Reduce the black borders on Vertical games running on your Horizontally mounted monitor (MAME 0.172).

Interesting, sounds like more investigation is needed before I try and add it but I will keep this in mind for the future. Gorf also has the problem with SDL1.2/dispmanx rendering through AdvMAME. Haven't been able to figure out why some games have that issue but I wonder if the 2 issues are relate...

Re: HOWTO: Reduce the black borders on Vertical games running on your Horizontally mounted monitor (MAME 0.172).

Yeah just change the mame.ini to /boot/sample I definately started hearing the samples. Remember you can either use the gorf.zip or extract it's contents to /boot/sample/gorf (& remove the zip) if you want to go about replacing the 8 or so 0 byte sized files. Check the other thread we also rambled o...
