MAME Raspberry Pi 2 Arcade

Thanks!. I'll get on that asap. It's in a working state now, just getting various roms working on MAME can be a pain unfortunately. I'll get there though.

 

dude this is so cool. i want to make one now. great thread with the link to the parts too - fantastic way to allow others to also have a crack. top notch mate!

 

Thanks! I had a lot of fun and frustration making it lol. Soon, I will have a video of it in action and more pictures of the graphics on the case.

Since i've been able to use it properly now, there's something I think I would change in the future. Change the Raspberry Pi to something else more powerful and compatible. Maybe an android based board would be better. Even the Ouya might be a good choice (need to look at custom software for it though).
The Raspberry Pi is a great bit of hardware, but, the emulators on it just aren't quite up to scratch and the amount of fiddling you need to do to get stuff to work is frustrating to say the least. The Intel NUC might be ideal.

 

So. Finally got the graphics done on the case.







Also finished the second controller. Super comfortable to use and looks great too.



I am so happy with how the arcade machine and second controller came out. A bit on the heavy side, but it came out how I originally envisioned which is great!

So, I need to record a video of it running. Want a video done on my phone or a direct capture? Let me know.

 

Looks great. Looking forward to seeing a video of it in action.
