Boot to MAME in PiPLay with Pi 2
What, specifically, did you do? Generally, you should replace the menu execute commands at the bottom with a cd over to the mame4all-pi directory, and then it's just ./mame

Messed up Mame4All Key Config
There's also a config file for each game played in a /cfg directory underneath your mame4all-pi directory, but I don't remember the specifics. I'd look there first.

advmame vs mame4all
The bottom line for mame4all is that it's a faster version of an old version of mame. The emulation generally isn't as accurate, but I think a few of the cores have been ported to assembly. Also, mame4all doesn't have as many config…

That IS awesome. Got a build log anywhere? I'd like to see what you're doing for a display. One of these days I want to try and turn an old color TV into a vector monitor.

USB audio card issue with PiPlay.
Interesting. I have an original model B (the one with 256MB ram) and a B+. I've got one hooked to composite out (one of those cheap rear view camera displays from ebay) and one hooked to HDMI with identical performance. Most games were OK wi…

Excellent! Can you tell me what games you see this in, and can you give me some more information about what resolutions you're running? I'll likely see the same problem.

iPac 2 player and Piplay
can you get to the console? Plug the ipac in and type 'dmesg' to see that it gets recognized. Don't remember which ipac I'm using, but it shows up as an HID keyboard.

That's true- the GPIOs work great- the only drawback to using them is that you need a connector to attach to the GPIO headers. I had a spare IPAC2 laying around from a few years ago, and it has labelled phoenix connectors (screw terminals) to …
