MAME provides a software version of the hardware that used to be in the game cabinet, but the software is covered by copyright, and most of the classics will be locked away for many years yet. Open up ~/.advance/advmame.rc and add a line: device_video_clock 5 -50 / 15.62 / 50 5 - 50 / 15.73 / 60įor HDMI or for an NTSC TV: device_video_clock 5 - 50 / 15.73 / 60 ROMs ![]() You’ll need to edit one of these to get things working properly with the RPi display. On first time it will create default configuration files. Once everything’s done it can be installed: sudo make install The build takes hours – so probably best to kick it off at a time when you’re not going to be using your RPi for a while – this isn’t a grab a cuppa situation. Then run the configuration and build process: cd advancemame-0.106.1 First download and extract the archive: wget MAME4All has found its way onto ARM based smartphones and tablets, but it seems that AdvanceMAME is the way to go on the RPi. There are quite a few flavours of MAME out there, and the main development has concentrated on WinTel. We also need a specific version of the compiler so: sudo apt-get install alsa-tools libasound2-dev gcc-4.7 I’m using Raspbian now, and though it comes with sound working, it lacks some of the libraries that MAME needs to output sound. Of course the Raspberry Pi is quite capable of running many of the older games, which should include all the true classics. In this post I’m going to run through how I got MAME going on my RPi. The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator ( MAME) has been around for years now, and has found its way into all sorts of places (a version was even available in the Apple Appstore just before last Christmas just in time for me to get an iCade). I grew up in the dawn of arcade games, and living at the coast meant that I had access to a couple of decent arcades where I could play all the classics as they came out – Space Invaders, Galaxian, Defender, Moon Cresta, Galaga, Phoenix, Star Wars, Tron and Tempest all stick in my mind, but Mr Do! and Bubble Bobble were my all time favourites. ![]()
