Running on a VGA monitor
  • Chewable
    I am attempting to put this PiPlay into a custom cabinet I built a long time ago for running mame.

    I have a VGA monitor in it, I am running the HDMI to a device that outputs to VGA.

    I have uncommented the noted lines in the config.txt file and I see the initial scripts running, but the PiPlay menu will not load.

    I am not sure what else I need to edit to get this to display.

    Found the answer in this other thread:
    http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/782/pimame-0-8-vga-blank-screen/p1

    I needed to re-comment back the safe mode.

    I just had something weird happen.

    On the LCD VGA I tested it on it worked fine. On the CRT it crapped out again and gave the original error.

    The error that I get on screen mentions "launchmenu.py".

    Is there something I need to adjust in that or in "config.yaml"?

    can you post the last few lines of your error?

    I got it fixed, I had to uncomment one more thing. I forgot what it was off the op of my head.
    I will post it tomorrow.

    Great! Glad it's working!

    I had to uncomment:
    disable_overscan=1
