Title: Question about ChanceKJ post on setting up Pi with Mame
Post by: j1345 on April 02, 2015, 03:52:07 pm

Newbie here...

Right now I have a setup using a laptop hooked to an LCD inside a Vigolix cab.  I have to power up the laptop and get everything set up then put the laptop in back of the cab and can play from that point on.

Would be awsome to get rid of the laptop and just mount the Pi into the cab as described in the video posted above.

My question is how new can the ROMs be before the Pi craps out?  Are we talking anything newer then Dig dug/Pac Man?  Or can we go as new as Double Dragon/Rolling Thunder/Spy Hunter/Out Run....   Or can we go to Mortal combat/street fighter era? 

The board described in the video was:
Raspberry Pi Model B 756-8308 Motherboard

(Also thanks for the video...I feel like I can actually wire some power to my LED buttons now.  Was afraid to hook up the power to it until I saw how you did it step by step.  Thansk so much for taking the time and effort to post that. )

Thanks for any feedback...

Check out this thread to determine which ROMset works with your choice of software.

I found what I was looking for on Youtube.  They had the new Rasp Pi board running Mame and Nin 64.  All looks GREAT!!!  So I'll be adding this to my vigolix after Taxes are over.  LOL
