Update to 0.8 not working for me
Yeah, don't use the installer from Github... I'll have a look at updating it to install 0.8

Boot straight to MAME?
Suggestion: You might prefer to use advmenu for this. It was included in PiMAME before 0.8 when it became PiPLAY. Advmenu is a pretty decent frontend, and might be better for what you need. Its designed for advmame but works with any emulator. It w…

Controlling Power
You could try that Belkin one. If you wanted to, you could crack it open and rewire the switch to a more accessible location. I would probably use an Arduino for something like this (see http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=10624.0)

Pimame not loading menu after boot.
It appears the error is in menuitem.py which handles the config.yaml It coukd just be a typo or indentation error or something in the config file. Try replacing it and see what happens

There is something in the FAQ about that. Have you checked it out?

Rom List / Icons
Nice ;) Reminds me of the old advmenu that PiMAME used before the 0.8 update :D

I've also added a link to it in the main FAQ. Hopefully that will make it easier to find ;)

@TonkaTuff Just the general one here: http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/79/faq#Item_8

Just cant figure it out
Even though its called Beta, its basically stable anyway... :D

Just cant figure it out
Hmm... Thats a fairly old version, I suggest updating to the newest version. A lot of things like the uploaded and directory structure have changed. If you want to stay with 0.7.10 then try uploading via FTP (Tutorial on Piplay.org) Good luck!

MAME4All not found
@Captain_Wag Did you expand the rootfs (Basically its the User partition) by running raspi-config? To install mame just type: python /home/pi/pimame/mame_install.py Good luck!

I Found a better Mame for PI
PiPlay isn't just mame, its gngeo, psx, gba, c64 and much more. Its not an emulator, rather a collection of emulators. PiPlay, in fact includes the emulator you mentioned above, mame4all-pi Not only that but ot includes advmame too. PiPlay is…

Installation issues
Pretty much everything on the PiPlay site is outdated now... I'll talk to Shea about getting it updated. Sorry that it was unclear how to install.

Unfortunately, for legal reasons we can't tell you were to get roms :( The first few sites are usually safe, but I don't think I can say more than that... You can get a couple free roms (Legally) from http://www.mamedev.org/roms/ but there…

newly installed piplay... permissions wrong on roms folder
I forgot, 0.7.x uses a different folder structure. Yes, its just /home/pi/roms Thanks for correcting me roo Start pimame from the command line with 'exit'

Comment by Conno123009 October 2014 permalink
newly installed piplay... permissions wrong on roms folder
Type: chown /home/pi/pimame/roms pi I think that's how you change the owner to pi. (Default user)

MAME4All not found
Edit config.yaml and change 'Install Mame' to visible. Then load the menu and run the installer. Once its finished you may have to make mame4all visible again in config.yaml

How to uninstall mame4all?
there's no official way but you can. First type: rm /home/pi/pimame/emulators/mame4all-pi Then open up config.yaml and set Mame4all to not visible. Good luck

MAME4All not found
I think if you reimaged or re-run the mame4all jnstaller plus create the symbolic link, it may work. Try going into startx and deleting mame4all-pi and reinstall mame. I dont know, sorry.
