Hit roadblock on trying to get MAME ROM to work.
The easiest solution for everything you've already invested in, is to probably just get a cheap Windows 7/8 pc. Windows will allow you to run a more current emulator that can play the roms you have. An ITX motherboard or Micro PC are going to b…

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
@audiofreak I don't think anything special has to be written for this. I believe you just need a working coin mechanism that utilizes a microswitch. You would set the microswitch as your coin button in the arcade emulators. You should be able t…

ROMs work on Windows version of mame but not on pi play.
I had the right ones too I thought, but then I used clrmame and the .dat file from PiFBA and Mame4All-Pi and found a ton of inconsistencies with the actual rom names inside the .zip files.

Feature Requests: What do you want to see in PiPlay?
@visy My understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that there is some tweaking to the code of the included emulators, but they are all not of them self completely written from scratch by @mholgatem or @ssilver2k2 . The Pi is older hardw…

ROMs work on Windows version of mame but not on pi play.
The various Pi versions of Mame all use different older mame sets. http://pimame.org/forum/categories/faq The solutions are to download the proper rom version for each emulator or run the roms you have through clrmame so that they can be renamed an…

Thank you @Matman your Python script worked for me as well. I had to remove the ^M from the end of every line, but it worked. @ Line 40 in mame_install.py I replaced the mame4all section with your script: ###mame4all### cd /home/pi/pimame wget http…

Pi2 beta 8, Mame4All-Pi will not install
Formatted the card and re-imaged it. I connected my Pi to the network and started the Mame install again. I'm getting the exact same errors when it gets to the Mame4all-pi part of the installation.

I could be wrong, but I believe you have to boot to your card on a Pi and download the updates. If I read correctly, one of the new updates includes the required updates for the Pi 2... Here you go: http://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials…

Using 4 arcade stick USB controllers with PiPlay
PiPlay is the OS/Emulator Frontend you download from this site. It is used to launch all the emulators. Mame4All-Pi is one of the emulators included. It uses the Mame 0.37b5 romset. Not every rom works in Mame4All no. I can tell you Sunset Riders …
