Oh, ok I understand. It is set to "auto" if I am looking in the right place. I will experiment with it and see what happens. Thank you for the tip.

I have no idea what that means.

So, I don't know if this is common knowledge or not. When I successfully installed MAME on my Rpi 400 using Ooeygui that is discussed here > https://atariage.com/forums/topic/313851-ooeygui-v40-released/ < I had a issue with MAME running V E R Y S L O W L E Y. So I did some digging around in the MAME.INI file. I found these settings to work very well for me. If anyone has any other ideas or tweaks, please share them. I figured this stuff out on my own, so I wanted to share with you all that have been so helpful to me in the past. # CORE PERFORMANCE OPTIONS. Is all I did.

According to the tracking it has left Massachusetts and is on it's way to Syracuse as we speak. YAY!!

YAY!! It is on it's way! I hope you guys get the same e-mail. SWEET!

Brand new e-mail..Sorry, we are encountering a delay...blahblahblah...new ETA: Dec 15th. I figured as much. It's ok, gives me something to look forward to. Coupla more weeks, no big deal. Anticipation..lol.

I don't think I will be getting mine anytime soon...still hasent shipped. Unless the warehouse is two blocks away....lol.

Well, I got it working! I got a new SD card, installed Raspberry PI OS, installed JRE and started from scratch. It still crashed at the very end of installing MAME like it did before. BUT...this time when I configred the paths for everything and hit "Launch" IT WORKED!!! I don't know how or why...but it did. Cool beans. Thanks for your help you guys. I am learning as I go..

Works fine with my NanoPEB. Thank you for all your hard work. This is amazing.

I will do the best I can to help.

I didn't, the 400 came with the SD Card preconfigured with The Raspberry Pi OS on it. All I did was turn it on and start using it. I will get another SD card and start from scratch. edit: What OS do you recommend? If it works on your test Rpi's what OS is on them?

Ok...I typed sudo apt install libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0 in the console and it installed the package. Then I ran ooeygui again and tried to reinstall mame. It crashed again with this message on the console: Get:1 http://raspbian.mirror.constant.com/raspbian buster/main armhf libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0 armhf 2.0.15+dfsg1-1 [14.7 kB] Fetched 14.7 kB in 1s (14.9 kB/s) Selecting previously unselected package libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0:armhf.

The OS is NOOBS I guess, what ever comes stock, prebuilt on the SD card they supplied with the 400 kit. I will get a screen shot of the error message that shows up on the console.

I am having a helluva time getting this to work on my brand new Raspberry Pi 400. Every thing goes smoothly, everything loads up to 98% on the MAME install window and then it just crashes. I do not get the "MAME was installed successfully" window. It just crashes. I will say I am brand new to Rpi and brand new to MAME so I really would like to know if anyone has made this work with the 400. I need help, if there is any info you need please ask so I can learn what to do to help.

Still just delivery updates. I hope it ships out, that would be wonderful! But I am not counting on it. We'll see.

Well, I just got a e-mail today. Delivery Estimate is now Dec 5..thats this Saturday. I am not going to be holding my breath. It reminds me of the e-mail @themewsh got last week. We will see what happens..

How is it? Do you like it?

Cool, but...the keyboard is the 400. and stuff.

I just ordered one of these, hopefully I can figure out how to use MAME and other cool things with it.

To everyone on this forum for the countless hours of entertainment. To all the Authors of the emulators. To all the creators of the new gadgets that keep our TI's alive and well after all these years. To all the software authors that keep on coming up with new and interesting stuff. To all the mind boggling knowledge that is found on this forum. To Everyone....Thank You! I truly hope you all have a safe and wonderful Holiday Season.

I have one of these. Works on my 64 and my Vic 20. https://www.commodore4ever.net/power-supplies

Yep, I got the same. Mid Dec-Early Jan. Cool!
