Check this thread out http://ouyaforum.com/showthread.php?7002-Discover-MAME4Droid-David-Valdeita-Loureiro One of the minor drawbacks is having different platforms out of sync from the version available at mame.net. At any rate we do what we can, with what we have, but keep that in mind. I haven't looked at compiling, but compiling for my PC wasn't hard, just close your door and go to it. I don't know the obstacles for compiling for OUYA. I hadn't all of the thread I linked, but I think that might be covered in there. |

I bought a Zero Delay USB encoder for a PC I wanted to put into a minicab. The PC turned out to be too large for the cabinet. I am wondering if the encoder will work with Ouya, but I lost the instructions. I will experiment today and see if it work with Ouya. {EDIT: Not good. The device does not appear to be recognized by the Ouya, and does not seem to even work on the PC as of yet. I sure wish I still had the instructions.} |

Yeah. That's the one. I have the thing hooked up to my PC and a joystick, but I do not appear to be getting any signal that I recognize. My old controler appears as a keyboard to the computer, but it does not seem to recognize this. {{EDIT: Resetting the computer got it working, so I know it works on a PC. Now if I can only figure out how to get it to work with the Ouya.}} |

I can never understand why anybody would use anything other than a PC for a MAME cabinet. - Best platform for general MAME development support - Absolutely unrivaled in power, dollar for dollar - Great selection of front ends - Enormous community of other folks using PC’s who can help you get up and running because they’re using the same platform - Easy plug-and-play for peripherals like iPac, speakers, etc. - Easy to connect to any type of display - Highly customizable (hiding splash screens, etc.) All of these benefits, and a totally capable machine (for the purpose at hand) can usually be had from your local classifieds for $20-$40 or so… heck, you may even have a friend or relative willing to give you an old PC for free. I can see how really small projects may require a physically compact hardware platform such as a Raspberry Pi or Ouya, but even there I’m guessing a bit of up front planning and cost/benefit analysis would go a long way. I can also understand the temptation to re-purpose some type of hardware for other nerdy uses, but ultimately you need to ask yourself what you’d rather have: a neat DIY science project (“hey, look what I made out of my old crappy Mac laptop!”) or a versatile, kick---I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- MAME cabinet? |
