IPac and Raspberry Pi question

<< < (2/3) > >>

nitrogen_widget:
there was an issue with emulationstation 2 and the GPIO app.
Something to do with sdl2.
there is also a fix I believe.

I haven't gotten to this point yet (just got my gpio breakout adapter & breadboard) but i'm also using advanced menu so I shouldn't have these problems.

Testing the ipac and it wwill dis great with MAME. However it doesn't sent work for consoles since the iPac uses the default buttons for MAME. Shouldn't be too bad to change them.

Hell, you could use the GPIO pins on the I R-pie. Go ask on the PiPlay forums on how to do this.

Interesting. Have you actually bought one of those encoders? They look remarkably cheap. I presume they're not programmable but at that price who cares.

Based on my experience, at that pricepoint I'd rather buy a MinimusAVR from xconsoles.com and load the KADE firmware on it. I used one of those from eBay a few years ago to build a bartop for my nephews, but I just got it back from them because the controls are unreliable. Gonna switch it out with a Minimus I got last week - haven't had ANY issues with those.

For my money, the ipac couldn't be easier. I think it's like $35.
