KnoppiXMAME 1.0 Released

Posted by michael on from the mame-in-a-box dept.

Ant writes "KnoppixMAME is a bootable arcade machine emulator with hardware detection and autoconfiguration. It works automatically on all modern and not-so-modern hardware, including gameports and joysticks. It is powered by Knoppix Debian GNU/Linux, X-MAME, and gxmame." Update: 06/19 23:18 GMT by S : Although there are earlier versions in the release directory, looks like V1.0 hasn't made it onto the FTP just yet. Meanwhile, Jim points out the AdvanceCD image, which is "..also a bootable ISO image of a minimal Linux distribution containing MAME, but weighing in at 16 MB rather than 200 MB so there is more room for ROMs."

    there is a Win32 MAME available anyway, windows users don't need to put shitty linux on their pc just to play arcade games.

    I could spend a couple hours downloading stuff, running shell scripts and make-configs, and then trying to diagnost the problem when it won't run, or I could just go buy Battlefield 1942 and be playing it within 10 minutes on Windows.

    Sorry, someone had to say it :)
