RaspberryJAMMA Mini — High-Res JAMMA Adapter for Raspberry Pi “…a smaller, sleeker, more streamlined RaspberryJAMMA — the RaspberryJAMMA Mini — perfect for today’s modern high-res JAMMA cab. No unused low-res sections, no ribbon cable or kick harness clutter, and no add-on four-player board.” The Mini RaspberryJAMMA is a Raspberry Pi JAMMA adapter that converts a Raspberry Pi into a true JAMMA board, allowing you to run tons of RPi software and emulators. ARpiCADE is the operating system that runs RaspberryJAMMA. Compatibility Overview & Video Output Key Points Limitations & Intended Audience Game List Downloads Support & Forums FAQ Compatibility Pi models: Adapter can be used with Pi 3B/3B+ and Pi 4. Our images are for Pi 3B/3B+ only. Cab wiring: Configured for 6 buttons on the JAMMA harness (fully populated/chamma style). No cab mods required: Works on a standard JAMMA cabinet without additional kick harnesses. Overview & Video Output Open source project. Customize front ends, game lists (if purchased), themes, and display resolutions. Video is provided by the Raspberry Pi HDMI output or via an optional DAC for VGA (LCD/LED monitors). Key Points Lower-cost solution for high-resolution LCD/LED JAMMA cabinets. “Bare-bone” adapter compared to the original ARpiCADE full board (fewer built-in options). Controls are always set to 6 buttons via JAMMA (no DIP options / no separate kick harness). Limitations & Intended Audience Not for CGA: Cannot use low-resolution CGA images. No 4-player adapter: Mini is not compatible with the 4-player add-on board. Images: Provided images target Pi 3B/3B+. Pi 4 works with the adapter (HDMI/VGA via DAC), but our images are not for Pi 4. Who it’s for: Great upgrade path from 60-in-1 / Pandora’s Box cabs or new custom builds. Note on Pi 4 performance (from the developer): Pi 4 can run some titles better and supports newer MAME cores. It can play some games the Pi 3 struggles with (e.g., parts of NAOMI), but demanding games like Killer Instinct may require overclocking and still aren’t perfect. These are not planned for inclusion in our images. Arpicade images are not returnable, but we’re happy to exchange if an issue occurs.
