This will show the numid for the playback device, probably 3. If your sound is too quiet then do the following to fix that:įirst get the playback device, type "amixer controls" I'd also recommend a minimum of 64MB for the GPU RAM allocation (gpu_mem=64). You will also need to make this permanent after a reboot. Later kernels appear to set it to "powersave" by default. NOTE: Make sure overclocking is actually working by checking "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor" should be "ondemand". My overclocking settings which work well, (/boot/config.txt)
Overclocking is supported by the Raspberry Foundation.

I highly recommend overclocking your Raspberry Pi to gain maximum performance as MAME is very CPU intensive and overclocking will make most games run at full speed. It will work in X-Windows or in the Console (which is preferred). To simply run MAME without the GUIĮnter "./mame " is the game to run. To run MAME simple run the "mame" executable. Hiscore.dat -> High Scores definition fileĬfg/ -> MAME configuration files directoryįrontend/ -> Frontend configuration files Mame.cfg -> MAME configuration file, limited support to only the options in the supplied file (not the full MAME settings). usr/local/bin/indiecity/InstalledApps/mame4all/Full/roms/ NOTE: To type OK when MAME requires it with the joystick, press LEFT and then RIGHT.įor the Pi Store version place the ROMS in the directory: * Function Keys: F11 show fps, F10 toggle throttle, F5 cheats, Shift F11 show profiler * Keys 1 & 2 to start 1 or 2 player games * Cursors Keys for up, down, left and right * Keys LControl, LAlt, Space, LShift are the fire buttons These are the standard MAME key definitions as follows.

It also uses the GPU for post-processing effects like scanlines. This is a highly optimised version for the Raspberry Pi, using GLES2/dispmanx for graphics, ALSA for sound and SDL for input. It also plays most of the games I'm interested in playing!
This version emulates 2270 different romsets.Īlthough this is an old version of MAME it plays much faster than the newer versions and as the Pi is relatively CPU underpowered (yes even the RPi2) it was chosen to get as many games working at full speed as possible (full speed means 100% with no frame skip). It emulates all arcade games supported by original MAME 0.37b5 plus some additional games from newer MAME versions.
