...just unpacked my order I got months ago ()
...and realized it's just the PiJamma interface, but not with the Raspberry to plug on it. ( bis)
So what Raspberry model should I order? Can I order one 'ready to go' with the Pi2Jamma ? I mean with the front end + games with it ?
Thx.

[bencao74]

Sure,  send back and I'll prepare some joy,  just plug and play. Send me a pm and we could start.

We tested this on the test bench and I'm really impressed

Looks pixel perfect and games like wonderboy don't have the issue with the background looking terrible while scrolling

Biggup for this one Jochen

Hasan wil order some inclusief mine

Ordered last week, keep up the great work

Look forward to its arrival 

[bencao74]

Hey, welcome

[Eddhorse]

Received my board.
Downloaded image and put roms on USB,
Works great.
Here is old Jamma cab playing Shinobi (I know i need to fix that joystick and finish button replacement)


Just need to tweak to get some settings working.
I know how to change Keyboard and Wifi but says i dont have permission to change with user "x" ?

Will test on my Sega Astro City in my workplace later in the week.

[bencao74]

looks great. ) I like the centipede artwork )

for editing files with root rights you need to login as root.

type su
pass root

then you are allowed to edit files you questioned.

Alternative : use console image, goto "options"-"command shell"

Cheers

Ah easy, sorry thought the default user was "x" and password was "y".

I will have no problems with keyboard and wifi then.

Just tested today in my Sega Astro City in my workplace.



I do need to slightly adjust the monitor but thats easy.
It is a big dark though, i dont need to increase brightness on other boards,
Any ideas?

After months (year?) of that stuff still packed (  ), I've finally found time to test THE ultimate setup for me, which is :

Raspberry 3 -> Pi2Jamma + Pi2Scart 





I was afraid to spend hours and hours doc reading to make all that stuff working... and ... finally NOT AT ALL. It's as easy as your ABC!

The result is just awesome! Full 15khz RGB / 60 Hz / 1:1 ratio pixel perfect
I've used few games who have perfectly smooth scrolling to test  ...





It's so smoothhhhhh  Pictures don't do justice... display looks amazing! And the emulation is reallllly good! 
I'll definitively use this setup to replace old computer or these crappy x in one chinese boards!

Thank Jochen for providing me the Pi2Scart adapter, which does a fantastic job (picture is brighter with it).

On the negative side, I had several time this bug, while browsing fast the games available on the USB stick :



Any idea what is the problem?

Oh, and I can't remove the front end music (can't find anything related to the sound in the option menu?). How to remove it ?

Finally will it be possible to configure the software to load one game only and disable the escape button?

Thx again for this amazing product!

I have some (maybe stupid) questions about this.
I want to run Sente's Off The Wall in a dedicated cabinet.
The original board set is quite expensive and hard to find. It's a two player game which uses two joysticks and two spinners.
Can I boot directly to the game, and can I use the x and y axis from a usb mouse (the type with a ball inside) to connect two spinners to the Pi?
