DGEN Freeze on logo
nope. fba can be in the .zip format. I have a ton of games for fba but only about half of them actually show up. I haven't gotten around to figuring out why.

image scraper for roms?
no, sorry. I'm talking about the images that advmenu and fba(capex) use when you are selecting the roms.

Trying to Use Floppy Ribbon for GPIO
I'm not sure, I used a bunch of jumper wires for my build and never ran into that error. If you disconnect the floppy cable do you still get the error on reboot? If not, then I would try disconnecting half of the wires and testing your boot up.…

Roms folder size limit ?
You may have a fault in one of your memory blocks. SD cards get corrupted with use. Sometimes formatting can help. I recommend using the SDFormatter tool (rather than the windows/mac utilities) https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ If that…

raspbian is the os, pimame is just a collection of apps that run on the raspbian os.

did you unzip the roms? I had that problem. unzipping them to their .bin format worked for me.

Tron Themed custom arcade
@Conno123009 - Nice! I edited the video to load a little bit slower so that it lasted the entire time that the raspberry was loading. I was planning on making my own, but this one just looked so good.

type: 'sudo nano ~/.profile' above the line that reads: 'python /home/pi/pimame_files/menu.py' add: '/home/pi/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame' this will auto-run mame4all and will push you to the menu if you quit mame

the make command will just build it in whatever folder that it is currently in. From there you can either remove the original 'pisnes' folder and rename this one, or copy the files to the 'pisnes' folder. You really only need to …

How to install a custom boot splash intro? (pimameintro.mov)
you can either use the web frontend or an ftp. I'm not sure that the mac would be able to expand the file system in order for you to be able to copy it through a card reader.

jspimenu - joystick based emulator selection menu for pimame (keyboardless)
hmm... it seems that you could have just edited the existing pimame menu to accept input from your joystick. But thanks for the script for testing ssh connections. I was actually just getting ready to look that up today! Have any good games running …

it is compatible with the rpi. You really won't use it in PiMame (at least not in its current state). Everything is done with the keyboard in PiMAME.
