Re: MAME4ALL for Pi

Kiosk mode is quite simple really - it just won't exit when in the frontend.. There's a new configuration option in mame.cfg.

I wouldn't worry about just powering off the Pi, there's nothing being written to the SD when in the frontend and the ext4 filesystem is very resilient.

Re: MAME4ALL for Pi

Wow, Pudding - great support you're providing!

I was messing around with the code last night for kiosk mode myself. I changed exit to alt-esc and am trying 5 presses of tilde to shutdown. Still a work in progress though (key releases are tricking me up).

How does yours work?

Re: Dividing screen.

Hi Simon,

the first thing I thought of was creating an html-page with two frames. One frame shows the static image, the other frame plays a slideshow. You could open the page in a browser and then set the browser to kiosk / fullscreen mode.

Regards,
