AdvanceMAME 1.4 and AdvanceMESS 1.4 for Raspberry Pi3

Posted on April 12, 2016 by SSilver2k2

Hey All,

I compiled AdvanceMAME 1.4 and AdvanceMESS 1.4 for the Raspberry Pi3.

On the Pi3, games like Street Fighter II and The Simpsons run like butter with full audio. It’s great!

You can download them here:

To install run:

sudo dpkg --force-all -i advancemame_1.4-1_armhf_pi3.deb
sudo dpkg --force-all -i advancemess_1.4-1_armhf_pi3.deb

On another note, our first “PiPlay Advance” boards came in:

There was of course an issue with our pin routing, so we had to order a new revision of the boards. So excited to see this project start coming together!

Friday Post: TGIF

Posted on December 5, 2015 by SSilver2k2

Hey All,

TGIF! Thank goodness it’s Friday. This has been a trying week.

For the bad: I had a little food poisoning, had a small car issue, and dealt with an anxiety attack of epic proportions (hooray for an understanding doctor’s office / doctor.)

For the good: Got most of the kickstarter parts in. Found a really cool edge case in a program we developed at work, and was able to fix it! Also pushed a large project out to AWS for work and it worked. The more I use AWS for large scale applications the more I love it. Still afraid of vendor lock in for my personal projects though.

AND I got my Raspberry Pi Zero in!

This little guy is cool!
