rom confusion
Post ended up being to long and couldn't add any more characters... Also if you're using the executable to build the ROM's under 'Options...' there's an option called 'Support Inverted CRC32'. Check that opti…

rom confusion
@dubstylee - Here's a thread mholgatem posted with some tutorials: http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/1083/how-to-properly-verify-and-rename-roms#Item_1 Here's another link that is a video style tutorial for MAME: http://www.cphsolution…

Need help with roms!
Yeah ddragon and tmnt work fine. As for mk I found it pretty acceptable for play on a 1Ghz overclock using MAME4ALL. It doesn't run full speed but it's really playable for nostalgic purposes! :) I was surprised as I read in another forum t…

rom confusion
Many games fail to run because they are from the wrong ROM set version. I think several people have the misconception that having dkong.zip ROM files means Donkey Kong will automatically run but that's not always the case. You can use a ROM ma…

Overclocking
I overclock to the 1Ghz Turbo with this set of copper heatsinks installed: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Raspberry-Pi-Heatsink-Set-100-Forged-Copper-/230955302367?pt=US_CPU_Fans_Heatsinks&hash=item35c6023ddf They run way under spec for temps. I thin…

Can Erase the pimame from my sd card?
Yeah I have the same problem every time I try and erase my SD card. Full erase doesn't work. I get some error and it stops. It complains about something but I can't remember. They are Sandisk Ultra 32GB cards which really work great even a…

Need help with roms!
I would agree with mholgatem. Pretty much any of the old games I threw at it played fine on an overclocked Pi. You can throw them all in and I bet you would have good results or hand pick the games you played the most. I thought about testing them…

[Build Log] Raspberry Pi Classic Arcade MAME Cabinet - Custom Artwork
Nicely done! How long did it take you from start to finish? I really like the 80MM fan adapted for the Pi case, that's classic! :) Why did you choose to face the fan in vs. out or at least ventilation when facing in. It seems like the "rev…

@mholgatem - Looking at option 2 I see something called PiMAME! What's that? ;)

Need Help with MAME4ALL
It was your original post that I figured out what was happening. It's confusing at first until you know what it's doing. I can start with a fresh image and that's the norm for me so I have no idea what I am doing to cause it.

That is the right folder. Well it's considered the right folder. From what I understand there's just a small percentage of people with this issue but there's definitely something that doesn't work for us. I also have the same iss…

PiPlay unable to detect ROMs in subfolders and input mapping
Thanks mholgatem, I appreciate the information and I am really looking forward to that feature as well as that slick interface you are designing! :)

PiPlay unable to detect ROMs in subfolders and input mapping
@mholgatem - Thank you, that's really handy! Will each emulator have a controller config option or is it a "universal" config? If I map the keys to match MAME in the controller config for example does each emulator translate the butto…

Will the controller config support setup of using the GPIO pins or is there a thread that might help with it?

@wernernagel2005 - I grabbed Hinch's pic just in case it came in handy later. Here's a link you can grab it from. If you want me to take it down just let me know Hinch. https://www.flickr.com/photos/58342955@N05/14066094398/

Overclocking issues
Here's a script I use through putty to monitor the speed converted to MHz and the temperature of both the CPU and GPU converted to Celcius while playing a game. I setup an alias so it was easy to do quick up arrows several times to monitor it. …

Overclocking issues
@mholgatem - I see he doubled posted maybe you can combine the threads or delete the other. I add the script here. I found it handy and maybe others will too. That's a great question by default how much does PiPlay allocate to the GPU? You fin…

PiPlay beta 3 not fully functional?
Ok I will do that. Is that a bug or I think I read a while ago in another post someone was saying it's random? I can't wait for the new release and some of the new features, it's really shaping to be THE Pi emulator! :)

PiPlay beta 3 not fully functional?
@jeroendv - That's great! I agree I think snaps and some other nice features are in the works. @mholgatem - Does it matter which way you point the symbolic link? Is one way a "better practice" than the other? Also is it possible to …

Escaping games using a controller
@hinchhinch - Do you map the tab key to a key combination also to get into the config setup on the fly or is it possible?

PiPlay beta 3 not fully functional?
I don't have my Pi running currently but I had to dump the ROMS in two locations. One where the ROMS are located for all games but also in the ROM emulator directory under something like mame4all-pi/ROMS. If I had them in one location it didn&#…

That's very impressive! You guys really do fantastic work. I have to be honest if it wasn't for this project and all the work you guys do I know I wouldn't have had an interest in the Raspberry Pi. So you guys are responsible for me b…

@mholgatem - That's some nice work. It looks clean and well documented. Are you part of the dev team. You do a lot of nice work on this project! :)

Share your finished project!
It really turned out nice. I would really like to try and build a mini bar top like that at some point. Is that bar top frame a package like what Shea bought or something you built from scratch?
