PiPlay in old TV cabinet
Hi, nice job. Why did you remove the cathodic screen ans replace it by a LCD? It was black and white...? take to much place? I did just the reverse... build a mini cab with a small 5" TV : http://www.morere.eu/spip.php?article178

How do you enable Splash Screen Audio?
Yes of course! this code coms from my raspicade distro :) The code allows to get the sound for all cases : jack or hdmi... which is not the case of "-o hdmi" :D

Rotation
Rotating during runtime can only bee done using Xorg and the xrand program -> but it uses resources and the emulation will not be as quick as standard mode.

You need to install the libs and the dev version of libasound.

Cannot configure mame4all games via tab
No it does not replace retrogame. Evtest helps you to test your input hardware. All buttons does not respond or just some of them?

Have you check in a console that retrogame program is sending all the key. You can test it with evtest too. After that, you can try to configure key with a keyboard instead of your panel too see if it comes from retrogame ou your panel wiring.

Wanted to say that a Mac is not a Mac anymore... no motorola cpu, no specific OS... It's a beautiful PC with a beautiful Linux like on it and with a beautiful price too :D

You wanted to say that you use linux :D... dd is a gnu command and not a mac command! Mac users are not used to console stuff no?

Why on Earth is Avancemame even on Piplay?
I agree, Advmame is better, but until it will be optimized for pi, it is just not really usable... Who wants to play 1944 with slow sound and 20 fps!

+1, completly agree with Jamesbeat, That's why raspicade only has mame4all ;). I went to the same conclusion 10 months ago!!! with incluse so much emulators when some of them are simply not usable because of the pi computing power. Yes it can&…

Plug and play arcade sticks?
use evtest program to see what event it gives and if it is recognised at all. After seeing the hitbox website, i don't think the hitbox will behave like a keyboard, but like a joystick. So use jstest to see if your hitbox is recognised and fi…

see here http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/key.html keyboard constants, they are used to represent keys on the keyboard.

Error during compile of mame4all-pi sources
that's strange... I trhink you should add LIBS=-lasound in Makefile like this LIBS = -lm -lpthread -lSDL -L$(SDKSTAGE)/opt/vc/lib -lbcm_host -lGLESv2 -lEGL -lglib-2.0 -lasound and try to recompile

Piplay 'Cabinet Edition'?
The v2 is still in rc. It is in the unstable git branch. It needs SDL2 libs which are not the default in raspbian. I already compiled it (+sdl of course) but not tested yet. I need time to do it. Perhaps in few weeks months.
