Raspberry Pi JAMMA

After getting one of these working on my own, this board seems to be worth every penny!  I might just get one for my next project.

Just wanted to repost some info here that dee2eR posted at KLOV:


--- Quote from: dee2eR;3231985 ---This is cab focused, the default output is 768x240 through HDMI.  It has AdvanceMAME, MAME4ALL, and retroarch emulator cores MAME2003 and FBA_next, it does not have roms.  I have made it as friendly to Windows users as possible, all rom and image dirs are on the boot partition to make them accessable from Windows with the sd card plugged into your desktop. 

It will work without the JAMMA adaptor I make but if you have anything plugged into the GPIO except buttons probably best to unplug it (as I don't know what will happen), it's only been tested on pi2 as I haven't used a pi1 for ages.  I'll update with results if I end up testing it on a pi1.

Theres 14 parts which decompress into one 7z which decompresses into a .img file.  If anyone feels like hosting the single .7z file somewhere else (public) I would really apreciate it, you have no idea how bad my internet connection is.  Last time the software was taken down after about a week, hope it lasts longer this time.

Software instructions can be found here:

It boots to AdvanceMenu but can be set to Attract-Mode as well (but that's not in the instructions yet).


-------

And... about SD card corruption...   this actually hasn't been an issue.  The only writes in normal use are returning to the menu from a game (high score, etc.).  As long as you return to the menu before switching your cab/pi off it shouldn't cause any problems.  I fit the adaptor with a reset button in case you happen to make the setup unstable while getting it how you want it, the hardware reset cleanly unmounts the card or something like that (I forget the details).  Also this setup is not overclocked by default, unstable overclocks and early kinda crap drivers are the main cause of the pis rep for killing SD images.  The software behind the scenes has improved though, so I think the main culprit is settings these days.  If you play with settings files or add or remove games etc I would recommend a clean shutdown or reboot, thats about it.

That said, always have a backup.

$200 and you can't just turn the damn thing off.  Bravo.

$147.55 US Dollar at the time of posting. I believe if you set you SD card for read only you can just cut the power. You point is still valid. Hit should not be hard to add that to the board but would. Maybe for the next revision.

Can't set the SD card to read-only if you want Hi Scores saved.
