--- Quote from: nitrogen_widget on March 12, 2015, 11:07:42 am ---I have a live custom .iso of PClinuxOS LXDE with mame .157 no-nag/highscore compiled in & attractmode 1.4 set to run at boot. It also has Timothy Lotte's crt shader configured & is 64 bit. I can provide a link to the .iso on my g-drive. I did however forget the highscore.dat file. whoops :) I put the gridlee rom on it so you can at least see it work from a live environment. i'm currently working on a 32bit version for older hardware that will use fluxbox and have most non-essential stuff turned off so it'll run on as little as 512mb of ram smoothly. --- End quote --- Yes, Pleas share. PM sent :cheers: |

Nowadays I don't have any hardware that works easily with win 98 so I am using XP (and Vista on my upcoming project! Yeah I know, right?). Throw in Mala and I have a nice setup. Whats not nice is screwing around with dodgy xp installs (hence using the Vista OS that came with my next projects computer). So in that regard I would welcome Linux. Like I say, I have used Ubuntu in a PC, had no trouble partitioning the drive and installing it. It's nice to always be able to have a nice new install that just works without any hacks or cracks or what have you. But the versions of mame I can get to run on Ubuntu were dire. Note that is what I MYSELF can get to run. If you are good at compiling this, and tarballing that then that's great, but I need something that just works straight up. |

It might help people use mame on linux that are not linux gods. There is nothing that indicates any no-nag/hiscore modifications to these precompiled sdl mame packages I am linking to. I assume it would be no different than posting a link to the official mame binary. If it is against forum rules, please don't strike down on me. Ubuntu: http://sdlmame.wallyweek.org Mac: http://sdlmame.lngn.net GroovyArcade is a whole operating system package itself, and should just work. Assuming it is using the correct mame version you want. |
