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:

what went wrong? is there a gui front end of xmame that i need to install too?
any thanks
yours
CHUN
Hi!
Type "xmame --help" in a terminal and you will see the parameters to run xmame.
Or you can use a frontend, gxmame( http://gxmame.sourceforge.net/ ) is a nice one ;)
