Hoping to see a list of games that are arcade cabinet compatible that run under Linux :)
-
You mean, specifically for Linux... tux racer... other than that, I think emu's and what runs under wine is about it... at least for my interest..

When I build a horizontal cab (or maybe I'll even go with it on my vertical one), Turbo Sliders will be on it:

Now that it's got a CPU opponent option, it doesn't even need the network option (although that is nice if you can find enough opponents).
-
Pretty much all of Kenta Cho's games have been ported to Linux. They are very suitable for a Linux cab, and Wah!Cade or whatever you use should easily be able to launch them cleanly.

world of goo will be fantastic to use with a trackball if they ever release their linux version!
-
Start looking at www.happypenguin.org (http://www.happypenguin.org), tons of stuff there. I also have a few Linux games I'll share once I get my server back up and running.

There is a build to Linux as well Windows. I have not compiled the source to Linux by myself (due the sourcecode is included).
Its 100% cabsafe.

Minor thread bump here...
KoboDeluxe
Gratuitous YouTube link: Kobo Deluxe native Arcade Game for linux (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV6Fwdfx-Uw#)
Project Page: http://www.olofson.net/kobodl (http://www.olofson.net/kobodl)
It's a 4-direction, top-down space shooter. Originally based on a much older Xwindows game named X-Kobo, this is a complete rewrite. It offers OpenGL acceleration if you have the driver/kernel-module installed for your video card, or will run in "software" mode. The controls are completely re-mappable (I run it on my PC's with a USB Logitech Rumblepad) so getting it to work with your digital or analog sticks is easy. Best of all, it offers a whole slew of differing resolutions, down to 320x200 (or lower if you hit 'custom') so it will work on arcade CGA monitors. (Assuming of course you've got the sync-rate set right...)
It's also really smooth/well-written. I play at 1024x768 resolution on a crappy 2004 e-Machines laptop with an abysmal ATI IGP-320 chipset, and with the OpenGL 2D acceleration on it doesn't stutter at all. (Athlon-XP CPU @ 1.8Ghz.)
Cheers,

Another bump, this time for X-Rick, a re-engineering of the old Amiga game, Rick Dangerous.
Youtube link (Dreamcast homebrew version):

Project Homepage: http://www.bigorno.net/xrick/ (http://www.bigorno.net/xrick/)
You can re-map the default keys for the thing when you start it from the command-line, and you can specify "fullscreen" mode as well. It's basically a joystick + 1 button game, but a little weird to get used to initially as up/down has multiple meanings if you hold down the button or not.
Very much a fun retro-platformer.

As the sources were recently released for it, check out "Rom Check Fail". Mish-mash of various retro games (SMB, Defender,Asteroids, etc.) that switches the player and enemy types at random every few seconds. Definitely one of those games made for a 15KHz resolution.
[Edit] Just tested the game out on my NEC XM2960 after adding the 256x240 modeline. This is a game MADE for an arcade monitor.
-
Other games that seem to be made for an arcade cabinet/monitor would include Cave Story+ (not sure of a way to legally get it, since the latest Humble Indie Bundle closed), VVVVVV, and OpenTyrian. Others I could think of include Rocks and Diamonds, Dodgin' Diamond 2, Freedroid, Stepmania (if you enjoy DDR and/or Pump it Up), and just more than I could even think of over at the Linux Game Tome and Linux Game DataBase sites.

*BUMP!*
Here's another one that I play quite a bit, and which has very configurable controls. I play it with a game-pad, but it's easy to set up the keyboard, so remapping to an arcade stick + buttons is a piece of cake:
WordWarVI
It's a vector-styled side-scroller shooter, something of a hybrid between Defender, Scramble, with a whole bunch of "Bullet Hell" shooter effects.
Homepage: http://wordwarvi.sourceforge.net/ (http://wordwarvi.sourceforge.net/)
YouTube demo: Word War vi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdPfI5B9Cjc#)
The soundFX on this are a blast!
-
open-invaders is a good one to go for. Perhaps lbreakout2 too (both are in the apt repos if you're using debian/ubuntu/similar)
-
Super Hexagon and Open Hexagon have Linux ports. Everyone should play every day, or at least once!
-
Only ran it in 640x480 interlaced, but Jamestown is great if you want a bullet-hell shooter. Four player local co-op is very nice.
-
WOW, how did I not come across this one? When I set up a 320x200 modeline in my xorg.conf file to use on my monitor's low-scan mode, I have to say that OpenTyrian was incredible! Running it with native scanlines honestly shows just how much Eclipse Software meant for that game to be something for the arcades.

Hello.
I just added Toki Tori and Dust, an Elysian Tale to my cab, (from humble bundle and humble store)
They work great on my cab, Dust works best with an Xbox controller 8)
Funny; i can't get Dust working on windows 8.1, but no problem on Linux (lubuntu 13.10)
-
Hammerwatch is a pretty good gauntlet style game with 4p co-op & splitscreen keyboard/gamepad controls. We are enjoying it quite a bit at home atm.

I'm looking forward to playing Devil's Dare on my new 4-player (linux-based) cab when it's finished.
From the Steam page:
"Devil's Dare is a 2D zombie beat'em up, supporting up to 4 players to co-op and fight together locally. Being the spritual successor to Bitejacker, Devil's Dare carries the same theme of parodies, pitting classic game heroes against monsters straight out of 90s horror movies. "
