WHY!!??  Mame is NOT Native to Linux and you're just setting yourself up for a fall when it comes to drivers, controllers and interfaces.

I agree with Fozzy, but I think it's do-able. Just like putting tits on a bull is do-able.


jpenguin:

are you suggesting that I should run $$$ windows,  Linux is free  & since when doesn't sdlmame work.  I use it on my desktop com.  I guess I could LOOK INTO xmame, advancmame...

anyway does anyone  have anything to say about hardware?

leapinlew:

Is it just running mame?

More can't hurt. Newer versions of mame have been making some games run slower and you don't want to be held back because of a memory bottleneck.
