Some info here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=31966 If the PiMAME distro doesn't have it natively, you can add it via ADVMenu (generic emulator configuration).

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
I'm waiting on a Daphne port myself (although I suspect the RPI might not be up to the task)

Background sound in advmenu...
Sound through a USB card is also fubar (literally). I just disabled it in AdvMenu altogether.

[SOLVED] Read ROMs from USB Stick
This can be done in advmame if you only want one emulator, this can be done in advmame. Try updating the dir_rom variable in /home/pi/.advance/advmame.rc, appending ";/path/to/usb/folder" (include semicolon) If memory serves, that is. …

A few more questions... I'm almost done. :)
1. Probably wrong rom set. Look for ones specifically for 0.106 2. You can't. Use Mame4All (uses older rom set, though). If still too slow, might have to go to a better computer.

Budget USB joysticks that work "out of the box" with PiMAME?
Before building my console, I used a Logitech Gamepad F310 (http://www.logitech.com/en-ca/product/gamepad-f310?crid=713) You might need to remap a few buttons in MAME, though

Speed and Mame4All
Actually, Shea, having different rom paths might be best due to the mame version differences, although I'm sure some of them might be compatible with both. In worst case, users could symlink to the same folder if they wanted to try it.

Speed and Mame4All
I've been working with both. Here are my thoughts/findings, mostly specific to MAME support. PiMame uses ADVMAME which is based on v0.106 code. PiMAME is based on 0.375b. ADVMAME naturally has the benefit of supporting more (and newer) rom…

My Pi MAME - Tempest Cabinet project
The monitor should have a VESA mount so you could secure it to a cross brace (likely with M4 screws and washers. Be sure to keep the mounting depth in consideration though (don't want to puncture anything). Then just change the config.txt as r…

My Pi MAME - Tempest Cabinet project
Re not seeing the console boot up messages, there is a way to make them less verbose by editing the /boot/config.txt and changing the terminal they are output to. But there will still be some. You cod put the monitor on some sort of delay though (to…

[BUILD] PiMame Arcade Cabinet
Love the cab, BTW. Mine is only partially assembled and needs more work with the surface treatment and trim (hope to have it done in a few weeks).

[BUILD] PiMame Arcade Cabinet
I've been brainstorming solutions for this too. if th Pi has a wireless network, you can map the folder(s) to samba share or sync up somewhere using rsync or FTP. That way you wouldn't lose anything. Another solution could be to mount t…

AdvanceMAME version
I believe it uses AdvMAME v1.2, which is based on MAME v0.106

Clear screen when advmenu calls advmame
Off the top of my head, would that work with the second "advmame" there? I thought that specifies the type of emulator. Try specifying "generic" and then putting the full path to the clear command and the advmame executable. (…

Config piMame?
There are configs for advmenu and advmame written in ~/.advance
