btbfilms76 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Reaching out to the community here for some help. Im trying to get my Pong Cabinet in a perfect state - right now its not. Imagine a beautiful sports car with a Pinto engine. Im not happy with my Mame set up, so I switched to a retro pie - thats not perfect either because I cant get the turbo twits to work, the whole point of the cabinet. Can anyone help me with either getting a solid Mame interface - thats guest friendly (meaning I don't have to babysit the cabinet) when people are over. Or get my Retro Pie to read the turbo twist working. Im hoping the Atari.io McPeeps can help me out.

RickR Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 The moment US auto makers jumped the shark. The Mustang II. The only thing it had going for it was product-placement on "Charlie's Angels" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 That wasn't a good time for us in Detroit. BTB, when you made the decision to switch things up and move to Retro Pie did you see anything out there with spinner controllers already working? I see so many Raspberry Pi consoles out there but I'm not very familiar with them, I can't imagine you're the first person to use spinners on a Retro Pi. I wonder if the manufacturer of the spinners could give you any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ever what it seams like to me - being a novice on the Retro Pie, it's almost like its built on a few different layers, and I have to write some code on a text doc. That being said it seams like Im doing something wrong, or the build I have is not setup for it.

My gut feeling though is someone out there makes a simple-stupid Raspberry Pi setup or interface that's ready to go with spinners / paddles / whatever.

Can you find anything else out there online suggesting Win 10 causes issues that are otherwise stable on Win 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
