Hi. So I got this VertPie thing. It seemed really nice/weel done…but it was running all old stuff and didn't work on a Pi 3b+, wasn't using RetroArch, etc…so…
I fixed it ?
I have updated the whole thing to stretch and booting and running on the 3b+, got attract mode all built and working, etc. Basically
ported" the thing to 2018. Would anyone one else be interested in this sort of thing? I don't know how common/popular vertical cabs are, as the project seemed to have been essentially "abandoned"…

Offline I would be interested. I've been looking into a vertical setup for a while but don't have the time to start from scratch. I just found out about VertiePie about a week ago and an update would be great. I was also considering using an old laptop and slapping HyperV or HyperTate on top of Windows. Any recommendations?

Same for me.  Have been thinking about and interested in an all vert image.  I had been looking at what was available and hoping for somewhat of a 'reboot' on one.  I plan to build a vert cabinet with a 32in monitor.  Nice and tall!  I'd love to see your work and give it a go if you do not mind sharing and are able.

Offline Ok then ?
Full disclosure – I do not consider myself in *any way* a "releaser" or anything like that…it just seems this is the *only* think for rPi that is purpose-made for vertical/cocktail setups (sadly).
as an extra "it figures" Retropie 4.4 was released yesterday with official/full  support for Stretch and the 3b+ (yay) so I am upgrading everything and re-checking some stuff to make sure it still runs, and will likely have to reset a bunch of settings (again) from the defaults, but this is a cap of where I was right before I told RetroPie to upgrade:
feature=youtu.be
I will report back after that is done…and if someone "around here" handles these kinds of things officially…now would be a good time to wave at me ?

Offline Ok, looks like everything came back and is working after the update. As i noticed a slight issue before with Attract, I am letting it fun for some hours to see if it returns, if not, likely G2G.

Offline I have a cocktail cabinet as well, which is currently running AdvanceMAME on a PII 450Mhz board. I was considering updating it to a Pi, but haven't taken the time to do so yet. I'd also be interested in checking out your image.

Offline Ok, so I've worked with this a little more to get flat blue (the ONYX one) actually working better than worse on a pi 3b+…here's where I am now (not edited, sorry)
If people have a preference I can set whichever to the default. I like Flat Blue because you see more of the game lib instead of one at a time, and well, it is pretty slick.
My understanding is that ONYX is "working on 2.0" and some other person is doing a more stripped down one for Pi. Should they appear before I tire of this, I will switch.

Offline Guys, I have desperately been searching for any version of Verti pie and how happy Was I to see that someone has actually updated it!
I collect and restore old arcade game cabinets and pinball machines and I have a couple of cabs that Iâd love to drop in a real vertical raspberry pi version of MAME. Â Is there anyway you could share this build with us? Or at least point me in the right direction? I am relatively new to MAME having only done a couple of builds and never with the raspberry pie.
I am extremely grateful for any help that you would provide and thanks!

Offline Yeah, I originally was going to go that route, but was not happy with ANY themes for station for this purpose because of the attrctmode ones being, well, more "arcade-y".
However, attract mode is very unstable on my pi, so I decided, f-it, let's make a proper, arcade-y TATE theme for emulation station…so I did.
I'm nearly finished. I call it 'The Defenders' as it is inspired by The Invaders Vertical attract mode theme.
Have a look…also…notice that Drew has my Cab, lol – I made that design for GRS for mine ?

Offline Unfortunately, I can't do *accurate* screen recordings via my capture hardware as the hardware is ignoring the sizing for the display sent by the Pi, but I can do "offscreen videos".
As far as a fully baked "theme" goes, I have to finish all of the Systems (I have a different version of this for horizontal. like an "updated" SpaceOddity)…and learn about how to make game lists…or convert Atrractmode collects. This really needs those "custom collections" to separate the different types of games (Shumps, different vendors) but I don't know if there is a tool for that to reduce the time.
Once I finish the basic system wheels tho I guess people can use it as a straight "theme" if there is any interest.
Also photo uploading appears to be broken so i could not post ant of the wheels and stuff ?

Offline The recording is good enough, yeah i understand about no real vert theme, i have downloaded your Vert img, but i am still playing with all the new images, i plan to build a 19" Vert Bartop, you guys have your screen angled to much can see inside the insides
I was actually replying to Joeaoug as he wanting pointing in the right direction, lol all good

Offline How did I miss this? I have been doing something quite similar. I must say what you've shown of yours looks excellent, In fact if I had seen it before I started I probably would have waited for your image and modded that for my cabinet.
