Raspberry Pi and MAME - Hands on
kahlid74:
There are boat loads of good threads on how to use MAME on the Pi. Most revolve around Debian and AdvMame.
Just a word of caution about the Pi and composite hookups, the resolution may be completely messed. I've now used three composite TV hookups and each is a nightmare to work with. From the resolution not fitting to the clarity being horrible, they are just UN-useable. I'm going to be moving to HDMI.

Boo, the mass of composite TVs lying around is what made me most interested in Pi.
Any recommended forums for these "tons of threads" or should I just google it up?

haha sorry. Try googling RaspberryPi and AdvMame. If you have any issues let me know and I'll see if I can dig up what I found.

That is perfect. I'm so new to the idea just knowing the right keywords is where I need to start. Thanks!
