    MAME on Kubuntu

    Is anyone here into MAME? I've been out of touch with it for years. Am currently investigating but it looks like the best (runs the most games) is sdlmame. Use to be xmame a few years ago.
    Found this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=545066

    Playing with front-ends wahcade, kamefu and gmameui but having problems with all.

    Looking for any useful info.

    Re: MAME on Kubuntu

    I have always been happy with the package in the repos, kxmame. But I really only play frogger and a few others...

    I see that it is still oldschool kde3... bleh. So that is just a kde3 front-end for xmame, which I guess you are familiar with...

      Has anyone tried mame under wine?

        Hey ICMike,

        The best solution I've ever come up with is to use SDLMame with the QMC2 frontend.

        Here is how I've done it with Karmic. I'm still suffering with Lucid and haven't tried it yet.

        --> MAME and QT
        1) Install the latest SDLMAME
        http://sdlmame.wallyweek.org/download/

        2) Install the required packages (including their dependencies)
        sudo apt-get install subversion g++ libqt4-dev libsdl-dev libphonon-dev rsync

        3) Get the source code for QMC2 from SVN
        mkdir ~/src; cd ~/src
        svn co https://qmc2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qmc2/trunk qmc2
        cd ~/src/qmc2
        svn update

        4) Build and install QMC2 with distribution-specific configuration turned on
        make DISTCFG=1
        sudo make install DISTCFG=1
