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."

    Run in VMWare? (Rebooting is soooo painful.)

    Is for greasy, smelly open sores hippies. Use BSD.

    I mean, shipping kernel 2.2, still, NOW, you people are worthless.

    Using your mouth, just like you use it for your "other" activities.

    What? MAME uses old arcade ROMS - even HUGE sets are far less than a MB. I have dozens of MAME ROMs and they still take up a tiny space on the CD.

    I could just go buy Battlefield 1942 and be playing it within 10 minutes on Windows

    [rolls eyes]
    Yeah, but BF1942 is full fucking 12-year olds who just want to grab every vehicle and ram into each other.

    If you think I'm making this up, think again. My little bro and his dipstick friends do this all the time.
