 Post subject: [tested] (Game emulator) xmame/xmess 0.106
PostPosted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:12 pm 

Description:
Xmame and xmess are ports of MAME, the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator and MESS, the Multi Emulator Super System. Xmame emulates the hardware (and low-level firmware) of a massive variety of arcade machines while xmess is an emulator for the hardware of many different games consules (e.g. Sega, NES, SNES, etc.) as well as many different old games-oriented home computers (e.g. C64, C128, ZX80, etc.)

Xmame package [TESTED]:
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... 6-48.1.tgz
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... 6-48.1.dep
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... 6-48.1.md5

Buildscript:
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... d-xmame.sh

Build log:
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... ame.log.gz

Xmess package: [TESTED]
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... 6-48.1.tgz
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... 6-48.1.dep
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... 6-48.1.md5

Buildscript:
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... d-xmess.sh

Build log:
http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/ ... ess.log.gz

Source:
http://x.mame.net/download/xmame-0.106.tar.bz2

Note:
There is a file that is present in both packages (/usr/bin/chdman) but netpkg/installpkg/removepkg handles this fine.

You'll have to provide your own ROMs ofcourse!  ;)

Loemu is a nice frontend for xmame: http://support.zenwalk.org/index.php/topic,9637.0.html

hi.
those flat deps bite our asses.  ;D

Code:
alsa-lib,coreutils,cxxlibs,directfb,expat,fontconfig,freetype,gcc,gcc-g++,gdbm,libdrm,libjpeg,libpng,libtermcap,libtiff,mesa,ncurses,openssl,perl,sdl,sysfsutils,utempter,xorg,xterm,zlib


except for this the packages look good to me, but i'm confused (again  :-[) how to run a rom. i got a zip-file which i put in .xmame/rc. but i get

Code:
jm[~]$ xmame 64street

It's probably a faulty rom. You've got PM...  ;)

I've fixed the deps...

You probably want to check out the loemu package too for use with xmame.

thx.  :)

xmame looks ok to me. but i didn't get far with xmess. i tried it with some nes rom. isn't the syntax 'xmess file.nes' or 'xmess file.zip'?

In all honesty, I haven't played with xmess at all and I don't know how/if it works...  :-\

I think I'll send xmame to FIFO and xmess will have to wait until I get back from my vacation (leaving tomorrow morning  8) )

ah.. i forgot about that.  :-[

ok, i got a nes rom working with

Code:
xmess nes -cart rom.zip


it seems to work ok. maybe we should put up a little information about basic usage like this in the wiki.

OK, I managed to play some NES games and some PCEngine games with xmess. I don't have any other roms to test it with!  :-\  Sending to FIFO...

I'll add the information about how to load the game in the wiki. Thanks for looking into it hennes. :)
