I've been trying to use this image, and I'm very appreciative that you've created it, but I do have a couple questions:

Is the BGFX graphics mode not available in this image? I believe I was using it when running Mame on top of raspbian normally, but with this image, any option other than "accel" causes games to straight-up not load.

Is that intentional behaviour?

Hi, I will try to answer your questions. FYI, I am the author of this image, but people like Samson are creating great value-added work that he then shares with everyone.  :applaud:

BGFX is not available on this image. The reason is that a specific file the source code (drawbgfx.cpp) is making a reference to X11, wich is (volontarily) not available/not installed on this image.

EDIT: FYI, I already filed a bug for this issue: https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=7738

I have my pi plugged into a 1440p display, but rendering at that resolution makes these games impossible to play, and very slow. In Raspbian, I used the regular display configure settings, but using raspi-config through SSH here doesn't seem to be doing anything... am I missing something?

To modify the resolution, you should modify /boot/config.txt with hdmi_mode=.
