Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
Like my colleague at work who immediately saw some weird frog-game he said he hadn't played in 20 years:

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
You'd think so, right??
I want as many on there as I can get because there will *always* be that one person who wants to play some arcane, mysterious game nobody's ever heard of ;)

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
Thank you - still some work to go ie. configuration, which is being a beast but I'll get there :) Once I have that nailed down, I'll get a larger sd-card so I can install the larger collection of games.

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
Configuring the buttons to do what I want is the hard part - still working on that.

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
I think I'm done - 40mm 3-speed fan in place and all the cabling done. Had to run to Frys to get an L-shaped HDMI adapter because I ran out of room...

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
I'm sure it will, depending upon how hard it gets pushed - I'm going to cut slots along the top edge of the "pages" of the book to allow air-flow and I've ordered a Pi case which contains a fan for the CPU and, instead of the existing brass standoffs, I'll just velcro the underside of this new case to the box; that should arrive Friday:
Thank you kindly :)

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
Almost finished with this gadget. Hole drilled and widened by hand (1-1/8" too small and 1-1/4" too large - of course!) to install a neat HDMI/USB pass-through cable. This way the Pi will be permanently wired inside and a nice adapter outside so there's no holes/wires everywhere.
Now I can plug in a USB-drive to add more files, connect a USB keyboard for editing files (or even another complete controller like this one for Player 2) - and run an HDMI cable to a TV or monitor. I'm satisfied.

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
I may; I have one of those HDMI/USB pass-through cables arriving today which can be neatly installed but it's heckuva long, so I may not keep it.
Adding new ROMs via USB-stick or wireless will still be possible, of course.

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
Raspberry Pi in place:
All that's left is to plug in the micro-SD card which contains the RetroPie OS, plug in an HDMI cable and power and we're off. Once it's up and running, configure things like wireless, Bluetooth and add the games ROMs, then configure the joystick and buttons.

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
You could if you wanted, quite easily - just need either 1) a bigger box to fit 2 joystick kits or 2) build a 2nd box and connect via USB to the Pi inside box 1.

Re: Project: MAME arcade emulator in a box
Well, none come on the Pi itself, but the RetroPie operating-system emulates (or pretends to be) a multitude of different game-consoles eg. MAME for classic arcade games then Atari, Sega, Nintendo, Neo Geo, etc, etc - so you can browse various ROMs sites eg www.emuparadise.me and www.coolroms.com to name but two and see what they have available.
Here's the joystick/buttons/wiring kit I bought ($31) on Amazon
