Anyone do this?

I just downloaded RetroPie and ordered a USB Nintendo controller.

What games do you play?

I'm planning on building a portable player based on a B+ and a 2.2" display similar to a project that Ben Heck did.  The hardest part will probably be narrowing down the list of roms to play and figuring out the controls.  I'll focus on the original 80s games like Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Pac Man, etc.

Going to resurrect this thread. The controller came in and works fine with the OS, now i just have to figure out how make it work with the games.

Anyone have experience with this?

Can you provide more info on that setup?

From what I understood, MAME needed buttloads of horsepower to run smoothly. It doesnt properly use anything GPU related, so it's a pure Ghz deal.

Someone correct me if this isnt the case?

Could this be run to an HDTV with a USB controller?

There are a plethora of amazing games I would love to play again, and a far larger number I haven't ever played.

The Pi does have HDMI output.

Also, MAME is open source now. Hmm, maybe this is what I'll do with mine.
