have even tried running updates, I do have it running on a pi3 but again, really slow.
question, how did you rotate the display since there is no entry in config.txt to rotate it?

are you using a class 10 card?
did you rotate the display in the config.txt file on the RPI or are you rotating the front end and emulator?
If the former you need to increase the memory to the GPU.
also there is a new image with attractmode front end for RPI out based on buildroot.

The screen rotation is set in the config.txt on the boot partition. I usually edit the file by inserting and mounting the microsd card on one of my Linux boxes.
Change the line "display_rotate=1" to "display_rotate=0"
Also you can tweak the clock speed of the pi in the same file.

It looks like the link for the attractmode image does not include Mame as an emulator?

I just updated the Pi Image Download on my server. It was deleted off the server by accident. A big thanks to Goochee64 for letting me know that the link was no longer working....
I have re-uploaded it as a multi-file 7zip. Each of the 6 files are 650megs. By breaking the image up it makes it easier to get the smaller files downloaded rather than a single 4GB file.
The download instructions are listed below for anyone who would like to test the image on their Raspberry Pi.

Would this work on a Pi 3 or just on the 2?
I'm working on restoring a Frogger cab (only have the cab nothing else) and this looks cool with the option to direct boot then play a few other games...I really only regularly play a few select classics anyway....would be great for the kids I think to have PacMan and a few others they like on there as well.
