Hi, This problem is driving me mad: When I run Beebem in the console I get a blank screen. Tried recompiling, incorporating into RetroArc, etc. But always the same result! Beebem works fine for me in an X session, but I only get 7fps on my Pi2 so this is no good. Anyone any ideas about why it might ...

I've getting smooth performance with OpenArea on the PI 2 . The improvement is far beyond what I expected compared to the PI 1. Will try to get some settings and frame rate information later.

Hi.
In your /boot/config.txt file, what are the following 3 parameters set to?

hdmi_drive
hdmi_group
hdmi_mode

Sound latency problem: UPDATE I'm getting better results (less sound latency "drift" over time) after making some adjustments to a local copy of the original code: In src/rpi/sound.cpp : Reduce the size of the FIFO queue used to queue up sound requests. Line 322, change from 6 to 2 buffer...

Sound latency problem This problem has been driving me nuts on mame4all-pi. When an emulation session first starts, there is hardly any latency (delay) in sound vs. video. However after about 2 minutes the latency starts to increase until there is nearly 1 second latency. (this is for 8-bit 80s gam...

Don't know where cfg options are documented. In the end I had to look at the source file src/rpi/config.cpp , function parse_cmdline. Options appear to be as follows: artwork samples vsync waitvsync dirty antialias translucency depth skiplines skipcolumns beam flicker gamma frameskip norotate ror ro...

nonameperson,

I've noticed the keyboard type is set to "English (US)". Is this correct? US keyboards have symbols in different locations to UK mappings. Can you select a UK mapping?

EDIT - Assuming you are in the UK that is!!!

This post has been up a week now, and it has attracted exactly one response, even that not very helpful. This is my first post on this forum anywhere, and I have to say I'm distinctly underwhelmed by the "very friendly" and "amazing" community who would "do their best to he...

Why not go for 1GHz Turbo mode? This gives me expectable performance with Midori, etc, but still obviously not as "snappy" as a PC. Midori needs X, so (AFAIA) you need to be running X. Someone will now prove be wrong. If this doesn't work, your expectations are too high. The Pi is an amazi...

If it has been de-supported, I guess a formal announcement would be good.
Efficiency wise, I see no reason not to de-support it and concentrate on just the hard-float (provided there are not outstanding build issues with HF). What does anyone else think ?

If the above doesn't work, you may need to use the -o command line switch:

Wow. On the face of it this list looks fantastic. Cannot wait to try out.

Hi to all RPI Mame'ers !! OK, I've got AdvanceMame running on my PI. When overclocked to 1GHz (overvolted, bye bye warranty), early eighties games are running at 100% (apart from Phoenix with is about 60% :(). Question : Vector games like Asteroids are running fine apart from a slight display anomal...
