    You already showed the mame.ini file. Look for a line starting with "video". What is the value written after video?

    You can change the mame.ini file at that line, or you can launch MAME with the command line argument "-video... ".

    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.2020-12-11-123623_1360x768_scrot.thumb.png.6634e369fa15d0c9f189fbdc406d5641.png

    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.2020-12-10-162137_1360x768_scrot.thumb.png.9ca20003fd077b96670abdee2bfda6dd.png

    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..

    i would suggest if you have a different SD card instead of using NOOBS install the Raspberry OS itself onto the new card not sure which OS you selected when booting NOOBS to be installed.  If I recall correctly NOOBS gives you an option to install Raspberry Pi OS or LibreELEC as well as options to download and install other 3rd party OS'.

     

    Which did you select to install ?

     

     

    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:

    From my understanding the Raspberry Pi 400 is a standard Raspberry Pi4 with 4GB ram.

     

    May I ask what OS you have on it if?  I have tested on a RPi4 and a couple of others have and it has installed with no issues.

     

    May I ask where it stops for the 98%  can you take a screenshot or copy the contents of the status window and post please.

     

    When it reads 98% it should be around after TIIMAGETOOL has been downloaded.  After download it should expand TIIMAGETOOL.

     

    You should have a 'tiimagetool' within the directory where you flagged MAME to be installed.  If not, then please also check your 'temp' folder within the folder where you ran OoeyGUI to see if the TIIMAGETOOL.zip file is there.

     

     

     

    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.

    Good and bad news folks. My Amazon purchased “The C64” (pre-ordered in August) arrived today, so yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. 
     

    Bad news is “The Vic20” I pre-ordered in October is now showing as an early January delivery, but it’s also now showing as another “The C64”, and a search on Amazon for “The Vic20” no longer finds that unit. 🤬   I wanted both models! Grrrrrr!!! I never can understand all the licensing and marketing drama on 35+ year old repro tech. Ugh!
