A member here is working on a DietPi, RetroPie, Attract mode, with GPIO joystick support and GPIO on off build. It looks very promising hopefully he will be ready to post a down load link to the community soon.

Yup, that's going to change a lot of attitudes about the Pi when it's ready to go....
So close... so close....

Agreed, it will also make all the xxx-in-one's arcade boards pointless.

I am using Retropie in my bartop and my 2 nano/mini arcades I am working on and have no real complaints. Since it is easy enough to to try different setups, I would try all of them including the DietPi that was mentioned earlier and see what works best for you.

Like with most free software, trying every thing that looks interesting is good advice. Just to be clear, DietPi is a lighter versions of the standard R-pi foundations OS. You don't need it to run Retropie, it will however free up more resources for Retropie and your emulators.

I tried Piplay and Chameleon and both do not work with a wired ethernet connection or the several wifi stick I have laying around. I was going to use the Raspi for my cabinet project, but if it is going to be this much of a hassle then I will have to plumb for a PC or xbox. They look nice but that is all.

Thanks for the list. I have the Asus WL-167 and it was detected but no connection. My pi is the first batch that came out so may be too old. :D
It works now. I had a senior moment, but I got better. It's a side effect of looking at CRTs too close for many years. I guess my parents were right about at least one thing. :lol
