Re: ARpiCADE_5 - for Pi4 or Pi5

No high res support yet. I've started on it though, just need to do the launcher logic. Whatever you do do not try to setup your monitor in config.txt on this build, that is now depreciated.

Re: Pi4 "Lightguns" testing and comparison

It's a good price but you could probably find 2 guncon2s for similar money. Aimtrak were good but you can't move around or pass it to someone else after calibrating it. Your earlier mention of wanting arcade quality makes me think you wouldn't be happy with them. I ended up selling mine after gettin...

Re: Pi4 "Lightguns" testing and comparison

Seems the GunCon2s work best as joysticks (I was hoping they'd work well as mice because that's how Sinden and Gun4IR are both setup in my previous gun build of ARpiCADE_4), testing in MAME274 at the moment. I have 2 independant guns working but hitting controller order issues similar to @cool_facto...

Re: ARpiCADE 3.X (that's a ten, I thought 10 may be confusing...)

comment out the hdmi timings line with a "#" in front of the line, it isn't needed for high res.

Also you have the hdmi mode and group settings in there twice, both the same. Shouldn't hurt anything but figured I'd mention it.

Re: ARpiCADE 3.X (that's a ten, I thought 10 may be confusing...)

Sounds like you might have the board running in low res mode. The default settings load in 480i and switch to 240p (or another progressive low resolution) when you load a game. Assuming your monitor is horizontal mounted, the games you listed that worked wouldn't have swapped res as they're rotated ...

Re: ARpiCADE_5 - for Pi4 or Pi5

sounds like I've tried to do too much with that update. It really would have worked easier as a fresh image, I should have uploaded a fresh image by now anyway... got distracted again with Guncon2. The good news is from the sound of things it's unlikely to have done anything bad, except possibly to ...

Re: Model 2 and 3 ... Worth It?

That's the bit where the instructions are to press 'enter' then wait a sec then 'alt+f4', but if enter didn't work I didn't write anything to handle that... Past that is really just a reboot to make sure everything is written to the SD card but the reboot takes a minute or two and can look like it's...

Re: Donut Dodo png, wheel, marquee, and snap vid

Awesome, thanks for sharing. I should be able to reupload the mp4 if you like, it's not too big, can just go in my gdrive.

EDIT: re-uped MP4. feel free to add to your first post. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sy7BF4 ... sp=sharing

Re: Overclocking the Pi5

easiest is to put it in the home/pi folder as that's where the console opens to. That said, most Linux software isn't distributed in that sort of way. If you find some software it may be in the repositories already (maybe not on RPi...), you can search with 'apt-cache search [thing your looking for]...

Re: Overclocking the Pi5

Probably, but I'm not sure offhand. You could try 'sensors' from the command line which I'm pretty sure is part of Linux. Not sure if it's set up though... If you want it to refresh every 2 seconds run it with 'watch sensors' EDIT: On the subject of overclocking I discovered today the default XMP OC...
