Mame And Linux

(1/3) > >>

SOAPboy:
So.. i was thinking about installing Fedora on my mame machine, seems linux uses less resources and what not. .and well my mame machine is a bit 'weak' per say..

What nix mame versions are out there? and arnt a pain in the ass to install?



or should i just stick with windows..

SirPoonga:
if you are running xwindows (the gui) then look into gxmame, it's equivilant to mame32.  Otherwise xmame or advmame are your other choices.  I know advmame has a svglib version so you don't need xwindows.

You might want to look into sometihng like advancecd.

There's fraggel's cd which will install dos and a dos mame setup.

GXMame is just a front end for xmame.

I need some help with this though.

I recently created a low-power linux machine for Mame and am completely stuck as far as getting emulators onto it. I downloaded XMame and AdvanceMame for linux, but I don't know what to do with either the .rpm or the .tar.gz files. Perhaps someone could point me in the direction of a basic linux user tutorial that will explain how to install and use new software.

On the recommendation of a book I bought, the system is running Mandrake linux.

Also, how would I go about creating a network between the linux computer and W2K. This would be a much easier way to transfer files. BTW, I already have a PTP network going between W2K computers, so I have some idea.
