Lucid Lynx Emulators: MAME



MAME (Multi Arcade Machine Emulator) is an emulator of several arcade and console games that allow us play lots of games (over 8,000 in the latest version) and recall the days of Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Street Fighter II and many others.
program
There are many versions of this program with different options and enhancements, versions for GNU / Linux are generically called XMAME and Ubuntu repositories have the most common:
xmame-x: MAME basic graphics mode xmame-sdl: MAME with several graphic and sound enhancements, do not need or support 3D accelerated driver (recommended) xmame-gl: MAME with support 3D accelerated driver needed.
xmame-svga: MAME for text mode
just choose the one that best fits your system and instalais with the package manager. For example to install xmame-sdl (recommended) use the command: sudo aptitude install
xmame-sdl

  • The ROMS
A ROM is the original game turned into a manageable file for MAME and easy online distribution. Most of the ROMS are not free so I can not tell you of place here. But there are many sites where you can download as

Rom-World. Note: Not all ROMS are playable to find some as incomplete, others that are ready for other emulators, others are not yet supported by MAME ... so I recommend that you succeed a number of them before. / usr / games ) Gmameui showing the options panel and preview the game : Designed to integrate into the KDE has the same options as above with laventaja that is in the official repositories so to install simply run: sudo aptitude install

to use these programs is to tell which is the directory where we store the ROMS and what is the executable program XMAME we installed (you can find this executable in the directory
