hi there: having tried MacMame on my other machine, i am now desperately wanting to get Xmame to work on my Linux box as its faster than my old mac.
anyway, i downloaded the three rpms as below from http://tettnang.freshrpms.net/ xmame-0.83.1-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm xmame-roms-0.83.1-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm xmame-x11-0.83.1-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm while trying to install the xmame-0.83.1, i got a dependency problem asking something like 'xmame-bin'. so i tried xmame-x11-0.83.1. it installed ok no errors. but while trying to start xmame by typing 'xmame' in the terminal did not work, i installed the first two rpms. so i now got all three of them installed. now when i type 'xmame' at the terminal, i got the follow: DGA requires root rights Use of DGA-modes is disabled info: trying to parse: /usr/share/xmame/xmamerc info: trying to parse: /home/sonicvariable/.xmame/xmamerc info: trying to parse: /usr/share/xmame/xmame-x11rc info: trying to parse: /home/sonicvariable/.xmame/xmame-x11rc info: trying to parse: /usr/share/xmame/rc/pacmanrc info: trying to parse: /home/sonicvariable/.xmame/rc/pacmanrc Mouse/Trakball selected. loading rom 0: pacman.6e loading rom 1: pacman.6f loading rom 2: pacman.6h loading rom 3: pacman.6j loading rom 4: pacman.5e loading rom 5: pacman.5f loading rom 6: 82s123.7f loading rom 7: 82s126.4a loading rom 8: 82s126.1m loading rom 9: 82s126.3m done pacman.6e NOT FOUND pacman.6f NOT FOUND pacman.6h NOT FOUND pacman.6j NOT FOUND pacman.5e NOT FOUND pacman.5f NOT FOUND 82s123.7f NOT FOUND 82s126.4a NOT FOUND 82s126.1m NOT FOUND 82s126.3m NOT FOUND ERROR: required files are missing, the game cannot be run.
