Mame in a picture frame? - mame screensaver
« on: September 07, 2013, 03:36:51 pm »
Hi guys,

I am a retrogame-freak from Munich, Germany. My last project was the restoration of a Twilight Zone Pinball.....

At work I have a Windows-PC which is usally dumping harddisk images. I runs the famous mame screensaver.
This litte programm picks a random rom set, starts the command line mame and runs the game for a set time.
In my case 10 minutes. Then it quits the game and runs a new one. I started to love this "game show" on my
imaging-pc. Now I had the idea of building a frame with an energy-saving hardware like a cheap android tablet
or whatever to run the games in the attract mode. The frame shoud not be for playing the games. Just to see
the attract mode.....

Did anyone here build a "frame" like this or have an idea what hard- or software to use?


Thanks,

Christoph
