Using Rapicade

Some useful stuff is installed on the raspicade image :

• a ssh server to control your raspi;
• a ftp server to upload roms easily;
• network is configured to use DHCP for getting its IP address;

Raspicade uses an automatic login for the "pi" user. But if you need (ftp, ssh), the password is "pi".

You can have a secure shell on Raspicade thanks to this command line :

$ ssh pi@192.168.x.x
pi@192.168.1.61's password: pi

Welcome in your RaspberryPI (Moebius Release)
pi@raspberrypi ~ $

You can access Raspicade via ftp like this :

$ ncftp -u pi 192.168.1.61

ncftp /home/pi >

After the automatic login, the pimenu program is launched, allowing you to choose the emulator you want :

• Mame4All-pi
• piFBA
• AdvanceMame
• pisnes
• gngeo
• pcsx_rearmed

You can test Mame with the free roms from http://www.mamedev.org/roms/ already installed. If you want more roms... I let you search on the web...

Upload your roms

If you have roms, you can use the ftp server to upload them :

• Mame4All roms go into /home/pi/mame4all-pi/roms
• piFBA roms go into /home/pi/pifba/roms
• AdvanceMame roms go into /home/pi/.advance/rom
• Snes roms go into /home/pi/pisnes/roms/
• GnGeo roms go into /home/pi/gngeo-pi/roms
• PS1 isos go into /home/pi/isos or any other directory. You can choose the iso directory from pcsx_rearmed. It can be a hard drive connected via USB to your Raspberry PI.

or use Samba/CIFS with windows
