Raspberry Pi 2 with Mame - anyone tried it yet?

Idk, maybe the rpi doesnt like your card?
I've had the same install on my RPI for months booting it up and shutting it down and I know its lost power a few times also.
If you buy a pi, get the rpi2.
There really isn't a reason to go with the rpi1 unless you have a specific low power project you need it for.
But, there are also a few atom or and apu micro boards out there you could set up with a small ssd for Chromebooks that might work better for you if you are looking for a small low power solution.

Hey Jukingeo, A thought, I made my stripped down vertical image available for download.
It has no X-windows, boots into advmenu in the vertical orientation, and is setup to use mame4all which is setup to rotate also when it launches a vertical rom.
It has SSH for running remote commands & FTP so you can copy your roms and snaps over your network.
It has no gamepad drivers yet but I plan to use either the GPIO or a kade device for my controls but keyboard will work just to test.
If you want I can PM you the link to my drop-box for the image along with the root password (it only runs as root) and you could try that out.

It uses a slightly older version of advanced Mame.
Also I believe the delay is due to the sdcard speed.
Not sure yet, I have a class 10 sdcard on the way.

I downloaded retropie and put it on a 4 gig sdcard.
I like the old doom and quake games that are included (even though Doom1 moves way too fast, haven't yet figured out how to slow it down. Quake arena worksreal good.)
I have a question: How do I put my mame games on it? Tried ftp'ing through the Ethernet from my desktop pc, but thats not working.
I like that I can transfer them that way with piplay.
yotsuya:
Plug a flash drive into a USB port.
ES will make a folder on the drive for ALL the emulators.
Plug the drive into your PC.
Add roms into the correct folders on the flash drive.
Plug the drive back into the Pi.
ES will move the files over.
Done.

what Yotsuya said or just browse the network from your PC.
It should show up.
I havn't tried FTP on retropie.
