MAMEWorld Forums - News - pfeMAME version 2.1.0 for Linux released

This is the release of the Linux build for pfeMAME 2.1.0. I'd already posted the builds (and source) for Windows but was having some trouble with Linux. The problem is that I am testing on Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04 and if I compile it under one version, it wont run under the other. The issue is due to the move to Wayland as the display server instead of X. Its also causing a few other glitches that I still have to work through. The build that I have posted today is for Ubuntu 16.04. If you want to run on another version then just compile from source (see the manual).

As per usual you can find the files HERE.

Please read the manual as it has everything you need.

pfeMAME is a front end for the Multiple Arcade Game Emulator (MAME) written in Python. It is cross platform (tested on Linux - Ubuntu and Windows). It also includes a graphical Tile View designed for MAME cabinets which allows control using joystick / gamepad. It supports favorite game flagging, MESS systems, and a Tiled view for arcade cabinets. It was written with a minimalist view in mind but also because there were some features I wanted that other front ends just didn't provide.
