West London-based maker Jason Birch built a hand-held MAME device using a Raspberry Pi connected to a 3.5″ LCD screen. More photos and documentation can be found here. Whether it’s a mini arcade cabinet or a giant coffee table console, wherever an operating system and screen combine, it seems MAME will always have a home. The intriguing aspect of Jason’s build is the ability to switch between video outputs, be it a large HDMI screen or a small LCD screen for portability, while using the same controller board.











very nice! (the boot-up screen is part of the true experience)
but no, joy… stick?
Great idea. Can`t wait to see the next model.

I am developping an application with a 3.5 inch COG display. Would it be possible to recover the software driver of the display. It is urgent for us.
