Anyone liking Raspberry Pi running RetroPie for older console and MAME?

Maybe I can find someone that had a preloaded SD card with everything running so I could give it a test drive before putting too much effort into something that will ultimately fall short of the main goal.

I'm going to try it as a 2600 encoder. Since I hacked my Wii, I can run all my NES and SNES games there now. I can test some NES stuff and let you know how it works.

That's great. I successfully throw some roms in the folder and it seemed to work well with RetroPie. I really don't know the designated keyboard inputs for NES on there so it was kind of hard to test fully. Again, I did all this quickly and didn't take the proper amount of time to read every single step so I'm sure I missed something.

I will follow this discussion, since I am just about to do the same. Got a Pi last week, and have just tried a couple of retro gaming images but haven't decided which track to chose.
By the way, what is the current MAME versions? Not sure what ROM set to use.
Is there any alternative with native resolutions via the Composite video output?

Been messing with PiPlay. Ugh. I think the distro is broken. The interface isn't all that great, either.

I think mame4all is the designated emulator for RetroPie and it uses the 0.37b5 rom set. I will try to tinker with this again this weekend.
I was able to get some NES roms to load and play fine from the NES rom folder so that's encouraging. I would like to also add some NEO GEO and some MAME. I'm not used to LINUX and the fact that you have to type what seems like endless lines of code in order to make very basic changes to the emulator. I'm not sure I have the time or patience to set everything up properly as it seems a little beyond my comprehension. What I am wondering though is if I take the time to set up everything the way I like it would I be able to simply copy my SD card and load into another fresh RaspberryPi to give to a family member or am I going through this elaborate setup every single time?
