Description Jin-tong Hu 2011-06-29 01:30:21 CEST
Formerly in Mandriva, we can play arcade games by installing SDLMAME from the PLF repository. Now in Mageia, the tainted repository (instead of PLF) is recommended, but I can't find any MAME-related software. So could we add SDLMAME in the tainted repository? Thanks.

Hi Jin-tong Hu

Sorry for responding so late, we are very short on triagers.

If you have a better link than the one I put in the URL field, then please replace it

Thank you for responding.

Currently I open the link in the URL field, but can't load that page successfully. Maybe there's some temporary problem with it?

Here are some links I've found. Just for reference:

Setting version to cauldron, because package requests will usually be done for cauldron first and then be available in next stable release

This package is in Mdv 2011, btw

Source RPM: (none) => sdlmame

Marja Van Waes 2011-11-17 09:01:38 CET

Version: 1 => Cauldron

Comment 5 Simon Putt 2012-07-17 11:52:11 CEST
could you also add the sister project sdlmess into this request? It supports consoles (gameboy, snes, megadrive/genesis etc) and early home computers (amstrad, spectrum, c64, early 68k macs)

Thanks.

Comment 7 JanKusanagi 2016-09-22 18:16:00 CEST
I though I wasn't finding sdlmame, or any MAME because it was in the nonfree repo (due to the old license [1][2], which should no longer be an issue), but apparently it's just not packaged http://madb.mageia.org/package/list/t_search/mame/release/cauldron/application/0

It would be really nice to have =)

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Comment 9 JanKusanagi 2017-08-28 22:03:51 CEST
MAME is now in Cauldron, so I guess this can be closed =)

Thanks JanKusanagi!

It works well (controls, audio, video) on real HW MGA7 Cauldron 64bit.

$ mame -rompath ../roms

May you be so kind and pull MAME to backports media for MGA6? In case no package exist for MGA6 from official and 3rd Party repos.

MAME can be used for Attract Mode [1] which is in MGA6 [2].
