Abstract
This will be a poster session with a live interactive demo of my Raspberry Pi distro called PiMAME.
PiMAME is an open source project that I have created that makes it quick and easy to get a full gaming system running on the Raspberry Pi.
The menu system is written in Python. It includes a web frontend for uploading roms and doing basic system administration.
Included emulators:
- AdvanceMAME & MAME4ALL
- Final Burn Alpha
- GNGeo
- pcsx-reARMed
- SNES9x
- Gearboy
- GPSP
- ScummVM
- Stella
- NXEngine
- VICE
In the past 4 months, PiMAME was downloaded 18,000 times. PiMAME was also demoed at the Orlando Science Center during the Countdown to Mini Maker Faire Saturdays.![][1]![][2]
