Article Title: Use the XMAME simulator to play games on Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Including desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, open-source and other basic classification installation: if you are using debian or ubuntu,
If you are using another release, such as redhat or gentoo, you can find and install xmame-related software packages through their respective installation methods. If you cannot find the installation source, you can
Http://x.mame.net/download.html
Find the source code of the latest version.
Download mame rom: in fact, it is some related zip packages. I found it on a Chinese site, either for a fee or for a surprisingly slow download speed, or the download link of some sites has expired. You should find the link on verycd or download the links from the foreign sites I recommend.

For example, I downloaded the Strikers 1945 Plus arcade game and saved it to any directory, such ~ /Gmae/mame/rom/, but it cannot be run now. The game can be started successfully only when the file named biosfor neogeois used. If the file neogeo.zip is not found, the error message is that some related files are not found. So next we should download the file neogeo.zip (261 k. After both files are downloaded ~ /Gmae/mame/rom /.
Now you can run the game (enter ~ /Gmae/mame/rom ):
Xmame-ws 2-hs 2./s1945p.zip
The-ws parameter indicates that the game window is a multiple of the default width, and the-hs parameter indicates the height multiple. Here I set it to 2 times. Note that you must add it before s1945p.zip ./
Game settings
Basic screen control: Left alt + home is the full screen shortcut
Game Key settings: press tab to bring up an English menu, which can be set by yourself, very easy
Initial settings: coin (9), confirmation (1/2), A (Ctrl), B (Alt), exit (Esc), there are many other settings that can be set according to the tab prompt
The above figure shows how to run xmame in the command line. You still use its graphic front-end gxmame to select, start, and configure the game, but I always think it is better to use the command line, although it seems that there is no graphic front-end friendliness, The xmame simulator is a good tool to relax in linux (of course, you can also play some large games to relax, but there are certainly no mame games ), when I was bored, I also downloaded a few games I played on the FC when I was a child. I would like to recall the good times of my childhood.
