Shift838 Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 I will be starting to develop a new version of OoeyGUI to add support for TiPi WHT SCSI card 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 FYI, I was never able to get it to setup and work properly with the Geneve. Likely, I was trying the GenMod/Memex setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+9640News Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Part of the issue was that I couldn't set all the devices up as they should have been configured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 I'm getting ready to start an update on OoeyGUI. I will be porting it over to the latest PyQt6 and adding the new features for MAME to OoeyGUI. For all OoeyGUI users, if you have a feature request, please post it here and I will see what i can do. This will be a very big overhaul to get it to the new PyQt6 version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 I have been jotting down notes and thoughts about how I am going to have to tackle this. With the latest updates to MAME supporting TIPI emulation now is making a bit more in-depth. OoeyGUI will not be installing QEMU, this will be dependent on the user to install. I plan on storing the path to where QEMU is installed within the OoeyGUI configuration file. when the TIPI is selected OoeyGUI will verify there is a QEMU process running for the TIPI emulation. If not, then it will start one up or throw an error if QEMU is not installed. That's my plan anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Users of mame can run with a real PI too, or a docker container, so I don't think it should be an error if there is no qemu... I would think OoeyGUI should allow configuration of mame, including the network location of the websocket when enabling a TIPI board. Maybe only error in the absence of qemu if the websocket is localhost and the OoeyGUI host is Windows. I personally never use the qemu mechanism anymore, but I also don't use OoeyGUI. So it is of course up to you and your user base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FarmerPotato Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I had issues where OoeyGUI was denied access to floppies in the Mame disks folder. This was MacOS 11.0. Never solved that. Switched to running Mame from the command line. I got a new (to me) MacBook Pro 2019, ran Migration Assistant, which copies my home directory and all installed Applucations. Then upgraded from MacOS 12 to 13. OoeyGUI runs with no issues now, using floppies from any path. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 I'm working to get the first beta out for OoeyGUI v5.0. I need some testers for: Windows Linux MAC RPi If you are interested in being a beta tester, please send me a PM so I can get a shared link to access once I have it ready for all the systems above.

+9640News Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I am interested, but I will have limited opportunities for testing. Between traveling for work starting Monday for 10 days, then followed by wife's back surgery and 8 to 12 days at hospital and recovery facility, I may not have too much time unless I pack my laptop to the hospital to pass time for her and me.

+9640News Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I should ask would you be trying to add Ooeygui on top of a TIPI build? That would create an interesting development environment if you did......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QEMU for the TIPI emulation will have to be launched and ready before launch MAME with a TIPI mounted. I'm still working out specifics as everyone's system this would run on would be different, some users QEMU will launch faster than others. I think it will be easier for OoeyGUI to ask you if QEMU is running and at the login prompt before starting MAME and of course verifying there is a QEMU process running. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previously mentioned, don't make QEMU as the only option to the TIPI. I have a PI dedicated to MAME for Windows. And, if you are going to have ooeygui on a TIPI PI running MAME, I would hope it could access the TIPI's file structure. My 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift838 Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 I have a RC1 release for Windows testing. I need some testers. ArcadeShopper is already testing, but a couple of more Windows testers would be nice. Please PM me if you want to be a tester for Windows, Linux, MAC and RPI.

pjduplooy Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 The Windows one works for me. There is a newer version for Linux. Contact Chris if you want access. I had to use a workaround to get it working on Ubuntu 24.04 though. But it is an easy fix. I can guide you through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
