Title: Anyone get BeagleBone Black to run MAME?
Post by: stan2323 on January 23, 2014, 11:03:34 pm: Has anyone used a BeagleBone Black to run MAME? I have seen a few projects that people tried but could not get the install to work for some reason. Then later gave up and used a PC or something else.

I do not want to hear all the use a free PC you will get more games. :blah: :blah: :blah: Stick to the question please.

$45 is a bit expensive when you can get a cheap 7 inch tablet that can do the same thing at the same price. Like an A-pad. Tinker wise, I am sure the beagle board black has some benefits. ~~Heck a Raspi could be cheaper on ebay.~~

I have not used a BeagleBone Black to run mame, I couldn't think of a situation in which doing so would make any sense. :burgerking:

Post by: dgencare on February 03, 2014, 08:28:34 pm: I have not posted a video but will when I get a chance. The problem with getting mame to run on the BBB was not mame, its getting a working window manager with audio. I ended up going with Lightdm, not that it matters.

Make sure to grab the latest image if you give it a try. I've made a few improvements since the original.

Does that cheap 7" tablet have I/O pins and some sort of video out? A tablet and a development board are two totally different things.
