Khameleon tech demo available (successor to Kymaera front end)
ErikRuud:
So far the only one giving me trouble was MAMEWah. It does not start or show an error.
This is from the log
1250 : Entering idle loop
1296 : FT_New_Face failed (there is probably a problem with your font file)
1296 : The filename was <fonts\Arial.ttf>, also tried <fonts\fonts\ARIAL.ttf.ttf> and <c:\windows\fonts\fonts\Arial.ttf.ttf>
I copied the arial.ttf file from windows/fonts into Khameleon/fonts and then it worked fine.
I am very excited to see this.
Thanks for your effort.

I had the same error. Don't know if you got my bug report. Did the same as Erik Ruud now everything works fine.
I'm getting 99% cpu usage though with all skins.
Cakemeister:
If you want to run MAME instead of my demo "emulator", you can use this attached mame.txt and rename it to config\mame.emu. Change the paths in the config\mame.emu to reflect your MAME installation, change the "Emulator" field in config\khameleon.kfg to mame.emu, and change the skin to whatever skin you want. Keep in mind that some of the skins use marquees for game names and the text may not look right.
You can generate game lists for Khameleon with my ListGen utility.
@gonzo: How are you measuring CPU usage? When I run Khameleon windowed and look at the CPU usage with Windows Task Manager it typically runs 40-50%. Also, I've fixed the font problem in the latest executable in the gonzo.zip file.
(EDIT Oct 16 2007 removed .emu file attachment)
ErikRuud:
Great! I've got it launching mame now!

I just click on run. Then CTRL+ALT+DEL.
How do you run it in windowed mode?
