ANNOUNCE: Wah!Cade

Balki,
  This is an excellent idea.  I've been dying to switch my machine to Linux -- the only reason I didn't is because Mamewah is not available for it.

I will definitely be trying your software in the weeks to come.

Minwah, your software is, in my opinion, the best FE for an arcade machine.  So let it be a testament to your work that I am running Windows on the most important machine in my house.

Nice one pkurby1 ! Balki has tested Wah!Cade on Ubuntu Breezy, I've tested it on both Ubuntu Hoary and Breezy. So can you post your finidngs (good or bad) AND the distro you are using. The more varied the ditros the better !

I've had a few problems on my laptop with Ubuntu - hoary worked fine apart from some of the tranparencies didn't work in Wah!Cade (something to do with pythoin libraries I think), so I decided to upgrade to Breezy. It looks great in Breezy but unfortunately I have other non Wah!Cade related problems with USB, HAL and some other stuff (like being thrown back to the login prompt after exiting xmame on fullscreen). None of which are Wah!Cade related I might add !

2600 - Balki will be answering your question tonight I think (he's gone to pick up his new car this afternoon).

Minwah - can you guess what make of car Balki has just bought ?

Happy testing !

Buks

I haven't looked at it yet, just the web page a bit. I run PC games on my cab so I probably wouldn't use this for my current  cab but it's always good to know there is an alternative.

I'll play with it a bit over the long weekend (Thanksgiving weekend in the US).
I can give it a try under Mandriva, Mepis and VectorLinux, so that should round the distros a bit. I'm particularly interested in trying it out under vectorlinux since I woudln't use a full fledge distro for a cab (VectorLinux is a minimalist slackware build using IceWM/Rox instead of KDE or Gnome).

Goz:
Any chance of a port that would be Mac OS X friendly? I've got a few Mac friends I'm sure would love to use it.

papaschtroumpf - excellent ! I suspect Mandriva would be the best distro to start with then "work up" to the minimalist slackware build. Let balki know how you get on (presumably here in this post).

Gozur - According to python.org, python is portable to windows, Linux, Mac and Amiga but it really depends on the libraries Balki used (I think). I've done a little python coding myself but it was mostly cutting and pasting other peoples code (it was a passable asteroids clone available on Balkis site) but I seem to remember the same code worked on both Linux and windows.

Any mac users out there who are able to give it a test ? Presumably you'd need to "know what you are doing" rather than someone who just has a Mac ....  ;D
