How to make a dedicated MAME 0.250 Appliance on a Raspberry Pi 4/Pi 400
javeryh:
Are you guys trying to get CRT shaders working with MAME? Is there any way to do this without taking a massive hit in performance? I finally have everything set up the way I want (it's awesome) and this would be the finishing touch. :cheers:
EDIT: I can confirm changing "video" to "bgfx" does not work. MAME won't even launch.

Yes, as javeryh said it, bgfx is unfortunately not working with the current MAME custom build.
The reason is because we do not use X11 (no window manager) and there is 2 references to X11 in src/osd/modules/render/drawbgfx.cpp, even if we tell the build that we are NOT using X11 (with NO_X11=1 on the "make" command-line).
At the current state, the code is not taking care completely of this directive (NO_X11=1) for our use case. I filed a bug to the MAME developers team (bug id is 07738) and can be viewed at: https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=7738

Just to let you know the availability of the NEW disk image file with MAME 0.241 (please see the original post of this thread for the download link). :cheers:

Thanks bbegin. Anyone on the fence about this should definitely give it a try!
My cabinets are almost finished... I am having a hard time powering on and off with one button press because I think the pi still draws 70mA of power when "off" when you use the safe shutdown script. Your image works brilliantly but when I shut down the pi, my smartstrip is still sensing a power draw so it does not turn off the marquee light or the amp. I ordered a Mausberry Circuit that is supposed to completely cut power so hopefully that takes care of things. :cheers:

Hello, arcade and forum noob here. I really love the idea of eliminating RetroPie and having just Mame with AttractMode on my Rpie 3 B+. I've tried my best to get the image working on my pi but I cant manage to get to the AttractMode Menu. Is there a guide with step by step instructions that I could refer to? Really love what you're doing here, hope to get it running soon. Thanks!
