It's a problem with Mame and not wahcade because when I try to just run Mame mspacman it will act look it will load but either it just hangs or just goes back to the normal screen...I've tried several roms. It's like I need to config an ini file. Any ideas? No errors to share

Make sure you followed the instructions to relocate the rompath in mame.ini and that "mspacman.zip" is actually in the correct path to begin with. Also, some roms need other roms to run. Like for example, Pacman also needs Puckman to run.

So I went through and reinstalled lubuntu and followed the instructions. Still having problems loading roms. I was able to get to get a few roms to load but run very sluggish almost like its set at 50% speed. Not sure what to do I tried out GMAMEUI and roms run perfect so I think it must be something with wahcade. I'm thinking I need to find a better package to fix this problem..any suggestions? I've installed the recommend packages from the wahcade site.

@General_Faliure
Thanks for the info. If you're planing on using an N64 emulator, mupen64plus is where it's at. The one in the current Ubuntu repos is like 4 versions behind...
But the MAME in the Ubuntu repos isn't that old:

--- Code: ---$ mame -h
M.A.M.E. v0.143 (Aug  4 2011) - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator

--- End code ---

Will this work with jewbuntu?

General_Faliure:
I googled for jewbuntu, and to my surprise it realy exists, but it looks like it's rather old.
Lubuntu is the best way to go.

nordemoniac:
After googling, testing and trying (failing) I've come to this conclusion as well. Lubuntu (easy to use, but still faster and lighter), and Wah!Cade, which looks awesome, is easy to install and manage.

Meaning that this is the best setup if you have a Linux box. And it is great to have a thread here where we can gather experiences, guides and tips for this setup.

Ok, someone has to do it;
