@wirthjp - That is an old installer, you should remove /home/pi/pimame and all of its contents then use the instructions found here: https://github.com/ssilverm/piplay-installer

Do I just use:
Rm -rf /home/pi/pimame

Or is there an Uninstaller ?

Another note I have tried to use the piplay-installer. It downloads to my system and I can see it in the DIR, and I have tried cd piplay-installer and it says it's not a DIR. I tried bash piplay-installer and it gives an error.

I will try installer.sh again now that it's updated and once you confirm my removal command is correct. Thanks.

Maybe I'm blind and/or stupid, but I cannot find the Controller setup utility anywhere.

E: disregard. Tab menu. found it.

@wirthjp - try this:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
un-comment (remove the '#') the line that reads:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
then just under that line, add this one:
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1
Hopefully that will get the audio playing through your hdmi for you.

that -bash /home/pi/.profile error that you are getting means that there is an error in your .profile script. Either you are missing an 'if' or a closing ')' or '}' or ']' somewhere. check over your code, if you cant find the error, post it here to the forums

Thanks a lot for all the help mholgatem. I got the sound working tried what you said, but that didn't work I had to uncomment the line below it: hdmi_drive=2. Now I have sound through hdmi.

Last error I think even though everything seems to be working. More of an OCD issue.
Here is a pic of the syntax error:

And here is a pic of the location: there are a lot of if and if in there I don't know which one is the issue.

let me know what you think. Thanks again for the help getting this going the whole family will have a blast with this.

@wirthjp - in your .profile, that last section (the last 8 lines) shouldn't be there.

just delete the lines that say

if [ $DISPLAY == ""] && [ $SSH_CLIENT == ""] && [ $SSH_TTY ==""]; then
fi
if [ $DISPLAY == ""] && [ $SSH_CLIENT == ""] && [ $SSH_TTY ==""]; then
fi
if [ $DISPLAY == ""] && [ $SSH_CLIENT == ""] && [ $SSH_TTY ==""]; then
fi
if [ $DISPLAY == ""] && [ $SSH_CLIENT == ""] && [ $SSH_TTY ==""]; then
fi

Thanks I deleted those 8 lines and that got rid of the syntax error.

New issue: I have tried to fix this myself and have read through the forums to try to fix this but can't figure it out.

I am using a wireless Xbox 360 controller. I have mapped the buttons and dpad for the snes. When I use it in a snes game the movement switches to the left analog stick and the dpad controls save states. I have also opened
Nano /home/pi/pimame/config/xboxdrv_mapping.cfg
The controller mapping in the .cfg file matches what I input in the controller mapping so I don't know what is going wrong.
Let me know if I need to post a screen shot of any particular files. Thanks again for all the help.

Hi All,
I'm having a problem updating from beta8 to 9.

I tried the upgrade from the menu, did'nt work.

After git clone https://github.com/ssilverm/piplay-installer, bash updater.sh I get the same syntax errors as Stork.

I am reluctant to rm -rf /home/pi/pimame, as my roms are in there.

Is there a way to fix this without loosing all my settings / roms?

I also have the joystick in Xin-mo controller, is that now fixed or do I need to use another kernel?

Many Thanks
Ian

I'm unable to update my older version of PiMame to piPlay on my RPI B rev1 (256mb) because I'm getting out of memory (malloc) errors. Should I prep a new SD card (so I don't need to update on the device) or is there some other way around this issue?

Update: I used raspi-config to allocate more ram to the cpu and I was able to get through the updates, however my system is clearly messed up in some way. I get errors about missing theme files and my database is non-existent. I guess I'll try prepping this card from scratch on my laptop.

Thanks!
