Weird. Works ok with Firefox. Running short on patience with Chrome at the moment.

PiMAME Bootsplash Video (Preview)
Cool. Same question as above. Would be great to hide all the startup text altogether.

Rotate Screen but AdvMenu has big black bars above and below
Don't know how to rotate the Mame4all menu. Maybe use the Advmenu menu system, calling Mame4all if you want to use Mame4all as the emulator instead of advmame

Rotate Screen but AdvMenu has big black bars above and below
I've never used composite to 16:9 screen but how about trying... Take out the display_rotate=1 from config.txt and put in settings in Advmenu/Advmame/Mame4all for screen rotation. For advmenu, edit advmenu.rc and add: display_orientation flip…

Nice job there. What exactly is PiFBA? Is this a MAME emulator that you can run the roms similar to advmame and mame4all?

how to avoid "insert coin/credit" for Mame4All
I know you can usually set each game independently to freeplay from the dipswitch settings but I'm not so sure you can do this with Mame4all. I believe you can with AdvanceMame.

MAME4All black screen
Yep, on my PiMAME image I am using Mame4all running from AdvanceMenu and it works fine - straight HDMI to the LCD display though. Mame4all is certainly faster (allbeit older roms) than AdvanceMame

Garbled audio in some games on analog
I had this initially and believe it's when the Pi is heavily loaded the sound suffers. This also happened when using a separate USB sound card. Switching to Mame4all pretty much fixed this. One other thing I did was update to the latest firmw…

[SOLVED] Rotate Display? (How-to)
That's weird. Just tried it again here and there are one or two games that don't rotate properly, usually neogeo ones. The scores/credits/etc rotate but the main gameplay screen doesn't. Works fine on "normal" games bombjac…

[SOLVED] Rotate Display? (How-to)
Yes, sorry, should have been more explicit. You need to edit the advmenu.rc file in the .advance directory to add the line: display_orientation flip_xy mirror_x I have it working ok here as I am building a cocktail cabinet and need it in vertical …

To rotate advancemenu to vertical... display_orientation flip_xy mirror_x (The raspberry pi startup text will still be in horizontal mode).

Has the "mame" file retained execute permissions when you copied it over? Try issuing "sudo chmod +x /home/pi/mame4all_pi/mame"

Yep, just trying it now on a raspian image, so I can do the full install from scratch. Will give you some feedback once complete.

Hi Shea, Presumably this should be run on a "clean" Raspian image and not a Pimame image?

Hi Martin, I have found the method to get the game titles displayed for the generic emulators. If you produce a file EMUNAME.lst in the same format as running "mame -listinfo", the file is read in by advmenu. So I ran "mame -listinf…

Is there a way to show the full game names in advmenu when using Mame4all as a "generic" emulator? The games list shows the actual filenames and some are pretty cryptic! I tried copying the advmame.xml over and renaming it but that didn…
