Re: Pi4 update

Just a note on Daphne, I have it running on the Pi 3B+, via RetroPi. Speed is fine.

Re: Fire button bringing up volume control

I removed the last two lines from the properties filed in .advmame which looked suspicious, and the mapping went away. It was something like ui_config or ui_options. Working again, thanks once again for the help!

Fire button bringing up volume control

I googled for this one and found unrelated volume method. I also searched through the emulator specific controls while a game was up and running via tab. No luck so I need some help. The kids did some button mashing on the game likely and ended up somehow mapping the firebutton within advmame to bri...

Re: CRT Sync with some games

Thanks, that did the trick! No need to mess with the DAC anymore, this is sufficient.

Re: CRT Sync with some games

Great suggestion. Snow Bros being a horizontal game plays at 480i on my vertical monitor and is fine. If I take the monitor rotate out of the config.txt, then Burgertime plays pretty much fine at 480i (sideways) while Snow Bros now at 240p has the same problem of video going out. Burgertime did show...

Re: CRT Sync with some games

I tried a few more tests when I can to swap out components and narrow down the issue. Here's what I've found: 1. The same problem exists for mame2003 and advmame. 2. It exists on all 3 variations of btime rom sets. 3. Both the video and the sound go out when the problem happens. Gameplay continues a...

CRT Sync with some games

I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue, but curious if other have run into this too. I'm running MAME2003 (0.78) on a Pi3, using a CRT arcade monitor. It's set to low rez and everything works great for all but one of the 25 or so classic vertical games I have on there. I have an issue ...

Re: No power to fuse on RaspberryJAMMA board

The white screen issue was fixed by replacing the video sync chip. The sync chip is surface mounted which I do not have the skill to solder on a new one. Even so, it is surrounded by through holes which can also be used. I cut off the legs of the bad chip with an xacto knife. I ordered a more tradit...

Re: No power to fuse on RaspberryJAMMA board

After all that power paranoia, the setup mostly works after I plugged the Pi back in and gave it another try. It's fine with the voltage but plays blind, showing only a white screen. I tried it both with the 240p and 480i modes in config.txt to the same result. If I disconnect the HDMI, it still sho...
