MAMEWAH for Linux?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.mame (More info?)

I'm working on building yet another cabinet for a friend, and this
time I'd like to go with Linux. Problem is, my favorite front-end is
only for Windoze. Does anyone know of a front-end that's very similar
to MAMEWAH?

Nope, that looks like MAME32. Nothing like MAMEWAH.

Thats the MAME32 lookalike interface.

Yah, I'll be using AdvanceMAME/MESS if I go Linux. I'm downloading
slackware at the moment to do a quick install and test of the
computer. I haven't seen any front-ends for Linux that are as slick as
MAMEWAH though. I'm probably just going to give up and go with Windoze
yet again. Hate to do it, but I'm really not up for writing a MAMEWAH
clone.

I'm not familiar with Mamewah, but it occurs to me that this might be what
you are looking for:

It's certainly pretty, but it's not what I want.

Well, I've downloaded and used virtually every Linux based MAME front end
out there, and you aren't going to find an exact match. AdvanceMenu is
about as close as you're going to get if you want your front end to be as
customizable as MAMEWAH is. It's pretty damned close, as a matter of
fact, if you discount the eye candy. They both look to be clones of
the NeoRageX interface in some form or another. Either use or modify one
of the existing ones, or feel free to write your own.

It's not about being skinnable for me. I actually haven't gotten
around to making a fancy skin for MAMEWAH, I'm just using the stock
ones (or stock ones altered to suit my resolution). The biggest thing
I like about it is how it can be configured from *within* menus built
into the program. This lets me alter the config from the arcade
control panel. I change the filtering of the games all the time to
suit my mood or the party.

>feel free to write your own.

Yah, it looks like it's heading in that direction.
