Raspberry PI gaming and latest Fix it Felix Jr progress

Just made a quick video of the latest PIMAME 0.5 beta on the Raspberry PI. They are almost there, just have to sort out sound issues and then many of the more popular games will be near 100% playable. The frame rates even on some of the better fighter games are pretty good.

Warning! This video is long and can be boring. You will hear popping noises because the sound is still messed up on many games.

Here is the latest of Sjaak's Fix It Felix Jr progress. I had to use my phone camera so the video is a little bright on the screen.

Thanks for sharing this! Great to see the progress. Any details about what will follow once Fix It Felix Jr is complete?
 
I am part of his beta testing so I am not sure how or when he will release it when it's done. He is a member on here named Sjaak. Here is the link to the thread of his.

The progress is coming along nicely, especially for what he has for sources, just some pictures, movie and youtube videos.

I am ready for the full game though, just need some new carriage bolts for the control panel so I don't cut up my wrist. :)

How is the composite out picture with Pi/PiMame? Is it similar to regular MAME as far as video controls?
 
You know they have a Full Fix It Felix game on the Nintendo Wi version .You can probably get the source from that and rip it .

Are you referring to the Wii game "Wreck-It Ralph?" There is a "fix it felix jr" stage, but it's basically a Super Mario Bros. variant, rather than the 8-bit arcade platform version. Unless there's an "unlock" for the arcade version of the Wreck-It Ralph release?
 
There is really no sane reason to care about mame on the raspberry pi. A computer picked from the garbage is 5 times more capable than the pi is and has way more options. Really what is the point in continually trying to flog this underpowered system as some sort of gaming platform?

While I agree that the RPi isn't much of a gaming platform (HDMI or Composite output only, kinda slow, etc), it's got better hardware specs than most (all?) of the xx(x)-in-1 boards. If the software catches up (or maybe it's already there?), it could be a viable cheap programmable board for 80's games. I haven't seen a comparison of MAME on the Pi vs. a 138-in-1 (which is running MAME... don't know if they optimized anything, or just run a vanilla build).

I think there are a lot of advantages of a small single board computer over the "computer picked from the garbage". Ideally, someone would make a JAMMA expansion board, so it'd plug directly into a cab and not need external power, vga adapter, etc.

I literally want to buy a Raspberry pi, put Fix it Felix jr on it and thats it. Nothing else. No other games, just a dedicated FFJ cab. Thats why I like it.
 
But the leaked binary is x86 windows PC app and not a linux app.
