I can find no easily accessible references as to exactly what "retro" games/applications are actually supported. Pretty essential information I would have thought...

I got RetroPi running over the Thanksgiving holiday. It's hard to figure out what version of the MAME roms you need to use.

So ... it's been a long time since I looked into MAME, XMAME, etc. etc. What's the state of the art today? Is it RetroPie? Where can I find the ROMs?

You can find Roms by doing a simple google search for the game and adding "rom". Sometimes I might even add "download". You can also find rom packs on torrent sites. It's not hard.

I'm guessing this is what you're looking for?

Anyone knows if this works with a BeagleBone Black? They mention the Raspberry Pi as supported hardware ( http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Hardware-support/ ), so hopefully it should run on the BeagleBone as well.

We don't support BeagleBone yet. However, if someone want to send a free hardware sample we will do our best to support it.
