C.H.I.P. now has GLES drivers.
going to compile attractmode on it this weekend I hope and see how it runs.
did you compile SFML first?
did you install all depends?
Are you in X when you compile?
Also Diet-pi makes you pick whether you will use external storage or not at install & once you pick you can't alter it.
so...since I don't use external storage i choose no.
I use the network to transfer roms.

I just wonder if the ffmpeg acceleration works on the rpi 1.
They are both the same GPU so it should.....
FYI guy's the retropie script included on the image does so many wonderful things.
You need to check it out.
you can install all these drivers NOW instead of waiting for me.
I have like one night a week (maybe) when I can take the time to sit down & putter around with my RPI's.
hey nitrogen_widget, if you can get ffmpeg 2.8 or later on there built with the --enable-mmal option then attract-mode should be able to make use of the pi's hardware accelerated video decoding...
see: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/tutorial-build-or-download-ffmpeg-libavcodec-with-mmal-support-hardware-acceleration-video-decoding/3565
Challenge accepted.
No.
But I've been thinking of updating my images with retroarch/Libretro mame 2003 (.78) and the latest attract mode.
That version of mame has better compatibility than mame4all and it isn't hindered by the lack of sdl hardware acceleration under X like advanced mame is.
Gimmie a week or two & i'll get some new images done up in my spare time.
