How to make a dedicated MAME 0.250 Appliance on a Raspberry Pi 4/Pi 400
Toonces:
That would be awesome! I recently used GroovyArcade 2022 iso to update my main MAME system in a Namco Cyberlead and love it. Being able to use this image with GroovyMame would be awesome. I am using a PJ Pi2JAMMA adapter from PCBJunkie that would be an awesome combo with this image. https://pcbjunkie.net/index.php/raspberry-pi-to-jamma-adapter/
I'm using it with a Pi3B and an older version of Retropie but this image and a Pi4 with the SDArcadeMod_v3f theme looks like it's a perfect match that will give me what I've been looking for.

It's been a little while since I published a new updated disk image!
I'm happy to let you know the availability of the NEW disk image file with MAME 0.250 (please see the original post of this thread for the download link).
Three (3) new features in this release:
- Sound volume is persistent;
- Automatic single-ROM launch at boot (called AutoROM mode) for dedicated cabinet/game (configure with the "frontend" command);
- No more need to put the system in read/write mode when using the "frontend" command.
Happy holidays! :cheers:

Thanks for keeping this going! I'm about 1 year in using this solution and have had zero issues. It boots, it plays and it powers down perfectly every time. :cheers:

A quick note for newbs like me.
This image will not work on a Pi 3.
The hardware is different. The software must be written for a Pi 3
FYI
Everything works except Mame.
Once in arcademode the pi reboots to the mame logo and nothing more.
Expansion works,
samba works,
Roms copied over to the roms folder works,
Artwork scrapping works, update works
I've got a pi 4B coming tomorrow so hopefully I'll join the rest of you in Pi4 Bliss
What would be involved in recoding for a Pi 3.
I am doing this for a dedicated warlords cabinet. The emulation is imperfect. Hoping running the current version of mame will solve that.
Thanks
TrevEB:
No Sound in Mame
Using the current image, I have everything working perfectly, except sound.
The speakers have been tested and working from HDMI or Audio port out headphones, or a USB audio device (3D Sound)
Using speaker-test while in RW mode sound works perfectly.
When I switch to Arcademode all games have no sound.
Is everyone else able to get sound through via the HDMI cable or the audio jack?
There must be some setting in mame.ini or something that I am missing.
Also, while in servicemode. what exactly is the command to run Mame while in servicemode,
mame-launcher.sh = command not found.

Making great progress with this (unlike many other forays into Mame on Pi).
One quick question (typo?): On my image there is no /data/roms folder and likewise, no \\arcade\data\roms in the Samba share. When I created one and copied some roms to that folder, Attract Mode couldn't find them.
After tracking down how the .mame folder works, I'm wondering if this is a misprint? When I copied my roms into \\arcade\data\mame\roms then things seemed to work fine.
Might be a step I missed or maybe this has changed in newer versions of the image?
