Pi Netbooting Solution

[FrizzleFried]

Does anyone offer a plug-n-play Pi Netobooting solution for folks who already have netbooting working using other ways?

Currently my MAME cocktail cabinet is what serves up my Naomi games ... however it's a Windows XP box that has started showing it's age and I am not sure how much longer it's going to be running. When it does, I'd like restore the cabinet back to it's former Dig Dug glory as I don't need the vertical MAME anymore (I have two) and the digital jukebox was made obsolete with Alexa pretty much.

Does anyone offer a pre-built (hardware-wise) Pi rig or am I going to have to buy the parts myself and figure out how to set it up (something of which I have very little time to do so likely something that will be put off until this XP box finally dies).


Thanks!

Netboot: pi zero stylee edition

Set netdimm to remote(dhcp) and this is plug and play.

But isn't that only one game per SDcard?

Does anyone sell a plug n play Pi Netbooting solution w/display to select games?

Of course I could/would supply my own ROMS.

No. It's as many games you want (and Atomiswave conversions) on a SD card. The game selection can be done via a LCD screen or connecting to the Pi via Wi-Fi and using your phone to select a game. It's fairly simple if you follow the steps.
