Question: Building a cocktail cabinet with a third set of controls
I don't think that there is anything built in right now (other than editing the boot config file and restarting). I could be wrong, can anyone else comment on this?

Audio at Startup, but not Game
Great! Marking as solved.

If you are getting audio at the startup, but not in the game, then it would probably be a configuration file that needs to be fixed. can you post your config file for mame4all?

try editing your /boot/config.txt file to force hdmi. Here is a reference for setting it up. http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#Which_values_are_valid_for_my_monitor.3F

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
@Rygar - you can just auto boot into one of the various MAME emulators if you don't want access to any of the other emulators.

Nintendo 64 Emulator
I have had success with this emulator only when running it directly from the command line in conjunction with the rom that I want to run. You can try that.

how upload a directory - web server?
you should definitely be using ftp if you need to upload a bunch of files.

starting pimame manually?
I'm sure that it can be done, but you will probably have to edit some source files in xbmc and then compile. I would check with the xbmc forums. http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=166

rpi case
just about any case on the market can be mounted given enough planning :-P I'm sure that the one that you chose will work well for you.

[BUILD] My Bartop Arcade.
This is what I use for my keyboard. It's a little slow if I have to type a lot (but in those cases I usually just ssh). But otherwise it's very handy. I can even use it as a player 3 controller in a pinch. http://www.amazon.com/Hausbell-H…

Arcade cabinet cooling
Nope. You should be fine. I have mine overclocked with no fans. I would only really consider it if you have a large number of internal lights near your pi, or a tv/monitor that gets really hot. Otherwise you should be fine. I keep mine on 24/7.

can you post a copy of your advmame.rc? I had this problem when there was a duplicate entry in the file.

GPIO or USB?
it varies, but generally speaking, I-PAC will be faster (but a bit more costly). Personally, I liked using gpio simply because it's very easy to troubleshoot.

This should get you going with the script for controlling the lcd. This guy used a 16x2, but you should be able to adapt it pretty easily. http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/07/16x2-lcd-module-control-using-python/
