Title: Mah!Cade packages updated: wahcade_20130217mahcade
Post by: sairuk on February 09, 2013, 07:01:22 am
I am hearing a small number of people are beginning to use Mah!Cade so I just figured I'd post a quick note to say I've updated the packages today.

You can download them from: http://www.mameau.com/ (http://www.mameau.com/), grab them from launchpad or initiate ./bzr_update from your Wah!Cade directory (if you are running a branch)

I corrected the link. Spelling error.

Definitely looking forward to this project. I don't have a computer for my mame project yet. Until then, I might do a virtual install of lubuntu on my iMac and try it out!

I finally got around to installing a virtual install of Lubuntu 12.10 64-bit mac using virtualbox on my iMac i5. Install went super swiftly. I might even install it on my PowerMac G5! Anyways, I installed wahcade debian package. Upon opening the app, I see the pacman style layout and an error window pops up.

Code: [Select]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File “wahcade.py”, line 86, in <module>
    app = WinMain(options)
  File “/usr/local/share/games/wahcade/win_main.py”, line 329, in __init__

    for line in file(filename, ‘rb’):
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘~/emulators/mame/catver.ini’

Any idea what is up?

Yes, I just installed Lubuntu last week and am delving deep into trying to make MahCade/MAME work for me, so it's good to see updates still happening-
I'll have lots of questions when I open a build thread....

Although now that I've researched a bit more, is there ANY hope for LED controller support (PacDrive or LEDWiz)? I hear there's a Pac Drive Linux driver, but nothing more. Unfortunately the bling of LEDs is important to me and I'd really rather not pay for Winblows.

I don't have one to be able to add support Mah!Cade is open source and python is particulary easy to learn so anyone should be able to add support if they have one.

** providing support needs to be added to Mah!Cade
