A pleasant correspondence started (he is Italian like me), and now AdvanceMAME offers full support to Raspberry Pi including automatic creation of 'perfect' video modes with correct size and clock.

An 'explosive' combo of two new firmware features: creation of custom non-standard video modes and the ability to enable and modify them on the fly.Īt that time AdvanceMAME (a port of MAME 0.106) ran adequately on RPi 3 at fixed resolution, so in november 2016 I contacted Andrea Mazzoleni (developer of the Advance project) to chat about these new features and possibilities.Gert's VGA 666 board: a small hat that, through the GPIO port, provides a direct VGA output, i.e.Hi, this is an (updated) translation of a tutorial that I wrote on Arcadeitalia two years ago, which has become quite popular at the time.Įven if a little late, I'd like to share it on Arcade Projects (sorry for my bad 'Engrish', any translation improvement is welcome, of course).Ī couple of years ago emulation on Raspberry Pi was (IMHO) rather inconsistent due to two technical limitations: very low computing power and absence of a good analogue video output (unless using adapters that introduced lag and invalidated the convenience of RPi as in this old but yet heroically pioneering tutorial).Īt the beginning of 2016, however, things changed: the Raspberry Pi 3 finally had enough computing power to emulate decently most of the arcade classics of the early '90s.Īs for analogue video output, there have been two significant improvements:
