= Description =
We salvaged a 1982 Tron arcade, of which the motherboard is fried. The goal is to make it work using a normal computer inside the tron and with the MAME emulator.
* <s>The project code on Gitorious wasGitorious https://gitorious.org/tron-restore</s>* Tron manual: [[File:Tron.pdf]]* 2018: The Tron has been reinstalled using a Raspberry Pi 3 and Retropie. It's now on 192.168.130.187. You can upload roms on smb://192.168.130.187 without password

= Notes (2015+)=
* L'Ubuntu n'étant ni LTS, ni à jour, j'ai installé un GroovyArcade (Arch-based). On y gagne le mode texte utilisable (dès que l'initrd est chargé).
* Avant l'update, j'ai of course imagé le HDD. Ayant des secteurs défectueux, il a été swappé.
* J'ai court-circuité /PSON et GND, histoire que la machine soit moins galère à allumer. (Censé booter tout seul, mais non... faut toujours appuyer sur le uswitch sur le petit PCB dans la coinbox)
* Si la machine est freezée après un message "GPIO uninitialized", verifier que des touches du claviers ne sont pas coincées, et hard-reboot
= Remote Access (SSH) =
Remote access is back with wireless connectivity!

ssh arcade@tron.fixme.ch

It is connected to the `FIXME-NAT` network (192.168.130.229).
