Linux Options ??

Ratpoison is a windowmanager that makes the last window to open have keyboard focus and go fullscreen with no decorations.  This was great for getting xmame to fire up and have focus.

Zsnes is an snes emulator that works well with GL scaling

And xmame( we all know what mame is :-)  )
http://x.mame.net

I really am having a hard time with the frontends though.  I am writing one that is geared at being used with the trak-ball and has no mouse cursor to use.  It uses popups to configure filtering and other options and rolling the trackball for selection.

I always have a hard time with the mouse based front ends that require fine movements when I am using the trackball.

Sure.  Jubei is the best MAME cabinet that I've seen using 'nix.  It's got a linux based FE and it's also one of the nicer cabs (buildwise) I've seen here.  Search for Jubei on the Arcade Examples page and you'll see it.

I did not finish the page after my cabinet was done....I was having to much fun playing.  

Here is a finished picture:  (the glare makes it sucky)

I am in the process of getting my cab done.  I am running Mandrake 8.2 and trying out Advanced Mame/Menu.  The address is http://advancemame.sourceforge.net/. They have their own listserve and lotsa people there to help.
