Have you set the controller for OR2 in OpenJVS mappings? The Chihiro message looks like your RS485 adaptor isn't being recognised or the openjvs process is not starting. Can you post an image of the launch screen for OR2? It should show what mapping file is in use.

Try changing the value to another colour like red or yellow to see if you get any change on the LCD

Has anyone official resolved this issue? I also can't find the piforcetools.py file with this new image so not sure where to even edit the appropriate file. Can someone tell me how to get the the file to edit since there is no piforcetools.py file that I can find?
Thanks.

/sbin/piforce/lcd-piforcetools/piforcetools.py is the one that uses the LCD screen

Thanks. To clarify; this file is not on the image (sd card itself) and you have to go into the Pi itself to modify this file? I can’t find it in the image itself for file directory - I need to go into the Pi itself and modify?
 
yes. that's it. you'll have to ssh WiPi and go to /sbin/piforce/lcd-piforcetools/piforcetools.py

So a bit of a specific question, but I ended up with a Adafruit LCD since I was going off the old tutorial before I found this thread. I'm never going to use it for this purpose AND I have an old RPi B+ lying around. I wanted to see if I could get this working without the wifi connection (since the B+ doesn't have onboard wifi) and just use the LCD instead.

From what I've read the B+ is set up differently so the it doesn't properly detect the LCD unless you modify some files but I can't figure out what file or how to modify it. I've actually tested the netbooting function and it boots fine and will start the previously played game but without the LCD, changing games would be hard or maybe impossible?

Can anyone point me what files I would need to change and how?

Thanks!

I've found that the way piforcetools check for the LCD is completly dependent on the Raspberry revision:

# Determine hardware revision and initialize LCD
revision = "unknown"
cpuinfo = open("/proc/cpuinfo", "r")
for line in cpuinfo:
item = line.split(':', 1)
if item[0].strip() == "Revision":
revision = item[1].strip()
if revision.startswith('a'):
lcd = Adafruit_CharLCDPlate(busnum = 1)
else:
lcd = Adafruit_CharLCDPlate()

I was trying WiPi with a PiZero for a minimal installation, and found that the LCD wasn't working.
Well, the PiZero returns a '9' instead of and 'a', so the script got an error, as I don't know why, not an expert in Python, but it can't get the right I2C bus for the LCD.

I've added a pair of lines to the script, and now it works also on my PiZero

# Determine hardware revision and initialize LCD
revision = "unknown"
cpuinfo = open("/proc/cpuinfo", "r")
for line in cpuinfo:
item = line.split(':', 1)
if item[0].strip() == "Revision":
revision = item[1].strip()
if revision.startswith('a'):
lcd = Adafruit_CharLCDPlate(busnum = 1)
elif revision.startswith('9'):
lcd = Adafruit_CharLCDPlate(busnum = 1)
else:
lcd = Adafruit_CharLCDPlate()

WOW I was using just the basic piforce and was thinking about how the hell I was going to mount the PI with the LCD screen to access it but no more
I will change over to this

Thank you to @chunksin @Murray and all others that made this possible
I am downloading the 64gb image right now

It would be awesome to be able to do this with other systems like the Namco 246/256 as well as the CPS2/F3/STV and others
Being able to just pull out your phone is awesome to having to fiddle with an lcd in your cabinet

Thanks again :)
 
OK I switched it over to connect to my home network
I can see it on the network but I cannot get to the web page using the ip address

Any ideas?
 
Hopefully it will get fixed as I would really like to just join it to the home network and access it that way
 
One thing I see when connecting it to my network is that one of the mac addresses on the pi gets assigned my gateway ip address and totally screws up my router until I disconnect the pi
Anyone see this?
 
Yes, that's how it behaves right now.
I have my main computer connected to my network with Ethernet, and when I'm on tests with WiPi, I activate my computers wifi, and connect to the WiPi network, so I can use both.
And that way I can ssh the WiPi.
 
Alright I fixed that
I disabled the Ethernet adapter so only wifi is active
 
I can now get to the game list on my phone connecting to the ip address pfsense assigns to the pi
 
OK now that I can get the game list loaded I just tried to load a game onto the Naomi and the progress bar goes to 100% but nothing happens on the Naomi
I am using a crossover cable
This used to work with the original piforce

What could I not have setup properly?
 
You have the same IP selected on the Naomi and Wipi?
