Complete novice needs help
  • Hi all.

    Just got my first Pi to build a retro arcade console for my young son. I have installed PiPlay but I can't follow the instructions to get up and running. The info is on this site but when you don't know anything about editing scripts or how to get to that stage it proves difficult to myself and many others. Does anyone know of a site or video which holds your hand through the entire set up process (Enter this. Press this. Etc.)?

    I would be grateful of any help. Many thanks.
  • I'm curious how you installed it, there shouldn't be much to do.

    Just download the latest zip from here: http://blog.sheasilverman.com/pimame-raspberry-pi-os-download/
    Unzip it.
    Use http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager to flash the image to the image to the SD card.
    Boot.
    Enjoy.
  • Hi. Yes I followed that and it boots fine. I can't get the mame emulators running though. Do you need to install the BIOS for these emulators? If so, how are they installed?

Howdy, Stranger!
