With the SD card mounted to your PC, create a blank file caled /boot/ssh. The pi will not boot with this and the vga666 drivers loading.įirst give yourself access to the pi over ssh since you won't initially have functioning video. Disable the mk_arcade_controls GPIO driver by commenting out the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/mk_arcade_nf.This will have a lot of defaults in it, this is the full output of my file after some modifications (todo: finalize settings that I'm happy with): modify /boot/config.txt to load VGA666 drviers.Note that all of these paths are relative to the root of where your SD card is mounted: Perform these steps with the SD card mounted in your system. I have been working on porting the Arpicade software (intended for RaspberryJAMMA) which is just changing a few modules and script settings. Work has been done to make Retropie work as well. Regamebox is the official software distribution. Other JAMMA/Pi solutions that use the pi's build in HDMI port tend to use mk_arcade_joystick_pi. This method is used because there are very few remaining GPIO pins to use. 3 74LS165 shift registers to allow for a total of 24 inputs over the few remaining GPIO pins (todo: which GPIO pins exactly?).Integrated VGA 666 adapter circuitry which uses GPIO pins 4 - 21 and requires at least a Pi3.Power is provided over GPIO, no additional connections are required outside of your JAMMA harness. Its design is fairly simple, you simply mount the Pi3 on its GPIO pins and connect the audio from the headaphone jack out of the Pi in to the pi2jamma. The pi2jamma was created by Jochen Zurborg. This uses the HDMI video output and converts to VGA. The other comparable device to this is the RaspberryJAMMA / Arpicade. This is in use as an alternate JAMMA board in my Neo Geo Arcade Cabinet. I recently picked up a pi2jamma, which is a JAMMA compatible arcade board made to interface with a Raspberry PI 3.
