Title: Raspberry Pi - Launch Mame ROM on Boot
Post by: thestobbster on September 05, 2016, 10:50:25 pm

I have setup my Raspberry Pi to boot into a single MAME Rom on Boot.

Here is how I did it.

Pre-built image by Floob with RetroPie and Attract-Mode

When I modified the image from Floob...

1. Created a custom Attract Mode theme that displays full screen videos in the menu.

2. Set the default RetroPi Splash screen to a black image file.

3. Added  the Galaga Theme song as my attract mode startup video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ie4U89t7Cs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ie4U89t7Cs)

4. Setup the attract mode configuration to auto load the last game played.

Thanks for this. I was having a hard time getting a single game to work on boot.
