Anyone liking Raspberry Pi running RetroPie for older console and MAME?
Aceisback:
Retropie works fine in cabinets also Using it in my bartop. The only reason I switched from PiPlay was a problem with the Stella emulator video screen size. Never found a fix for it, so I abandoned it as I wanted Atari 2600 emulation also. They both are great setups though.

I'd just like to add my input- not sure if this is a problem with the Pi or not, but I plugged some headphones into the audio port and got atrocious sound on NES games, at least.
Anyone else have any experience with this?

Depending on the exact model of Pi, this is a well known problem. If you run Raspi-config and kick your overclock settings up by a single notch, that should fix it. You won't need heatsinks with that level of overclock either.

Ah, thanks - Sorry I forgot to specify, but I have the original Model B, so that's probably the problem. Thanks!

Yes, the NES can have poor audio depending on your setup, don't seem to have any issues with the other emulators I use. If you have extra programs running in the background, the NES audio is even worse. I use wifi dongles on my Pi setups, and if I ssh into the system while the NES emulator is running, it messes with the sound also. The Pi 2 also made a difference for me, in fact I am replacing one of my Pi 1's with a Pi 2 this weekend for this very reason.
