Anyone liking Raspberry Pi running RetroPie for older console and MAME?
nitrogen_widget:
I'm using the moebius linux command-line only distro with RPI.
using SSH and FTP to install the binaries of various emulators from the retropie site.
mame4droid is the fastest.
advanced mame .106 has the most roms & cool scanline effects.
retroarch mame .7something looks to be a happy medium with more roms than .37b & some shader capability but I havn't gotten around to playing with it yet.

I have tried Raspicade, that has Emulationsstation 1 & 2 frontends, and Pimenu. Mame4all, GBA, NES, SNES, Vectrex & NeoGeo.
It is very convenient to update since there is a pre-configured Samba service sharing all the needed ROM folders on the network.
And the config files are easily edited remotely via SSH (Putty).
NES and SNES fired up without problems with my ROMs... Haven't found any ROMs yet for MAME (the preinstalled are working fine).
Can't find out how to play NeoGeo yet though.
Just downloaded PiPlay 08, beta 7 - but haven't tested it yet.

I actually followed this guide here:
http://devtidbits.com/2012/11/26/mame-arcade-game-fun-with-a-raspberry-pi/
then, downloaded mame4allpi here:
https://code.google.com/p/mame4all-pi/
and installed that using the instructions in the download.
Which is basically copying the pre-compiled mame program plus directory structure somewhere & setting the rights on the folders.
so right now I boot to advanced menu and have both versions of mame set up as emulators so far.
The issues i've seen with advanced mame is for example gyruss is slow motion but mame4allpi is fullspeed.
I have not put retroarch on yet.
but there is a script here that will download the sources and compile for you.
that'll take about a day. LOL!

If I tossed retroarch on it this weekend would anyone want the image file (minus roms and artwork with the partition shrunk down of course)?
This is a barebones nothing fancy, never plan to update once it's being used install with zero graphic environment. (think DOS).
i'm not even 100% sure gamepads or joysticks work because I have just been testing with the keyboard & planned to use a KADE as my interface.
stpcore:
I would be VERY interested. I would even be willing to trade you some printed artwork for your time. I will also be using a KADE device on mine so I don't care about joystick configuration. PM me if you get a chance
