Woo! First person to download it :)

what do you mean impossible to put roms in there?

Possibly a permissions issue on the roms folder. User likely doesn't have write access. Try as root or "chmod 777" the folder (which is what is usually done by the mame4all install script).

I just tested a fresh image of the PiMAME 0.7 beta1, and I was able to upload files through the rom uploader to the mame4all directory. Are you using the premade image or the installer?

all is ok with fresh image 0.7 beta1 !

Hi everyone!

I'm sorry but I can't login as root, somebody knows the password?

many thanks!!

mame forever!!!!!

this is the pass that i tried, "raspberry"

su ->intro
raspberry ->intro

and saids"Authentification failure"

:-(

Try:
"sudo su"

I have roms on a USB drive and I want to get them into the mame4all but I can't find the roms folder - specifically for mame4all. I know where the advmame roms folder is but not the mame4all. Will someone direct me in newbie terminology?

Yes! Success! I have the games and they play and everything! No issues. Just had to change the sound to hdmi again. Say, could you tell me how to rotate the screen so it's vertical for mame4all? Thanks so much!
Lovin' the PiMAME. I even ordered my full two player arcade kit from arcade world! Should be here in a week or so. Bar Top Cabinet here I come!

@rocket you need MAME 0.106 roms for Advmame and MAME 0.37b5 roms for MAME4ALL. Can't talk sources here but have a look around and you will find complete sets for each. Also with the SNES roms might be worth trying a few other sets, again can't talk sources but they are about.
Hope that at least gets you on the way.

thanks @nicktones, I will make sure I have the correct roms for MAME, I was experimenting a bit, and noticed some worked and some did not. Your info should help make it faster.
As far as the SNES roms, I did try the solution posted, rebooted, and still same. Maybe Ill try some new Roms?
thanks again

Hello, ok finally can break free for a few minutes to play around ... work always gets in the way!
I figured out the MAME rom issue, thanks @nicktones

But for the SNES I tried some different ROMS and still no luck.
The screen is still distorted, I can see the games, and play them, but the screen looks horrible. Any advice would be appreciated.

Here is my config.txt file. (man I hate VI :)
