Raspberry Pi (Zero or 2 or 3) Setup with Qbert and Artwork

(1/3) > >>

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a Raspberry Pi (I have three different models, like to use the Zero but whatever) to run a Qbert only setup with full artwork (I run a 39" led tv with a custom bezel that includes the marquee and bezel as one image).  I see where others have but I'm not an avid linux operator, and I just keep seeming to hit roadblocks on something I feel should be straight forward.  I have tried using Retropie 4.4 on a Zero most recently.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  I normally would just buy a cheap windows based tv box but I figured I had the Pi i would use them since this will pretty much be a one off system (you know, because its Qbert).

I don't really care if I use Retropie or not, I just figured that was the easiest and fastest way to get up and running.

jdevane:
I also like the idea of a save state so that I can reboot with high scores in place.

Not sure what platform you are wanting to play from.  I would want any flavour of QBert to be accessible.  Jump from mame to 2600 etc.

Found a cool video to follow.  Hope this helps.

I'm trying to get this to work in Mame, any version...

The video from ETAPrime is just for scraping box art into emulation station, I want to use a bezel + marquee image to be displayed with the game is playing, like this one I whipped up...

jdevane:
ok, so I installed the bezel project and used it to cheap my way halfway there...  so I have mame with a generic horizontal bezel for qbert.  I've copied my png over and rotated the display in the boot/config.txt

now the game boots up and I can see it playing for a moment then it goes solid black on the screen.  I'm thinking my image is loading but because I don't have it sized for this little cheap tv I'm using the image is just covering my game playing because I can hear q bert in demo mode.  So that will be my next step.
