Anyone liking Raspberry Pi running RetroPie for older console and MAME?
pbj:
My dunce cap is on extra tight today, and I can't google anything about this front end, but where the heck are the options hidden? I'd like to toss the menu into vertical mode if I could.
The composite flickers really bad on the images with the fake scan lines. It'd be nice to do away with those, too....

You gotta do all that magic Linux mojo to get it working. I don't screw with the setup.
You could PM the720k and see what he knows.

If you get into config.txt in the boot folder and rotate the display... it kinda works. The games don't fill the screen and the performance is horrible. If you rotate the display in the MAME options everything looks and plays fine. Except for the menu.

The reason I went with Diet Pi distoro is because it boots into Xwindows using very little resources.
Attract mode needs X.
There are other ways you can shutdown the RPI with scripts & buttons controlled via the GPIO and I may end up going that route.
Right now I have a script that shuts it down when I execute it & i just need to figure out how to call it from attract mode.
I found a post on the RPI forums that tells you how to call a similiar script from advmenu so i'll try that method this weekend.

Did you ever get a chance to try this out?

I found & installed a GPIO app that is modified from the adafruit retorcade app for the larger GPIO.
It does 2 joysticks with 6 buttons each & a shut down button.
I tested the shutdown last night & it worked perfectly.
I also compiled the latest version of attractmode.
Now I just need to get the GPIO app to run at boot.
Need to get Attract mode to run at boot.
I just need to look some things up for that not hard at all.
Need to shrink the partition on my 16gb card
need to write an image of the card.
need to upload it to drop box.
Then i'll make a link available.
I have my kids tonight so might be able to get some of that done after they goto bed.
It takes so long to do all that stuff on an SD card though.
