Having said that, I still use it myself. xmame-106 is the latest version that I'm aware of. I was playing a game on it yesterday afternoon, in fact. It compiles and works fine on Centos 5, and as I recall I had it running on Fedora 10 or 11 a while ago with no issues. I think the code is sufficiently "generic" that xmame-106 will continue to work for a long time yet.

[Xmame] FC6 - compiz and sdlmame/xmame don't get along
Under FC6 with SDLMAME 0109u2 and "compiz" active, it runs dead slow, as in several minutes wait for anything to happen other than a black screen. xmame.x11 gives me nothing but a black screen or window no matter how long I wait, even though it says that it did x number of frames when I exit. So it's apparently running the game, but it's not visible. Without "compiz", everything appears to work as expected. It looks like compiz is incompatible with xmame and SDLMAME for some reason. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com ___ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame

As the mouse pointer disappears when I type the -fullscreen option (even when I include -nogm as well), there is no way to move the mouse over the game that's sitting on the desktop background.

[Xmame] Fedora Core 5 and xmame -fullscreen
Fedora Core 5 has a new and rather annoying "feature", where opening a window from a terminal doesn't give focus to the newly opened window. You have to click on the newly opened window to give it focus. Example: If I type "nedit" (without the quotes) into a terminal window the nedit window opens but the focus is still set to the terminal that I typed the command into. The problem that this causes for xmame is that when you type something like "xmame -fullscreen pacman", the game loads and runs behind the terminal window; the terminal window and the taskbar at the bottom are still in the foreground covering part of the game and I have not yet found a way to shift the focus to the game. Basically, it make the -fullscreen option useless. There doesn't appear to be any way to set Fedora to not do that and to just give focus to newly opened windows. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://theatre.sasktelwebsite.net ___ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame

I have done some more experimenting here.

His lightgun works great on his computer. His display looks fine. The screen turns solid white when the gun is switched to calibrate mode. I put my lightgun on his computer. His display looks like the colour is washed out and dull. The screen turns white when the gun is switched to calibrate mode. I brought his lightgun back here with me, and put it on my computer using xmame. My display looks fine. The screen goes blank when the gun is switched to calibrate mode.

NeoGeo is an old, out-dated platform too, and probably isn't the best benchmark either if you're looking for something to hammer the hardware. I have created four versions of xmame.x11 version 0.96.

[Xmame] GCC4 xmame benchmarks
I have been playing around with the "Preview of GCC version 4.0" for
Fedora Core 3 and thought you lot might be interested in my findings.
This computer is an Intel P4/2.4 with 1mb of ram. It runs Fedora Core 3
with all current updates. Kernel version 2.6.11-1.14_FC3.
For testing, I compiled xmame 0.95 using the out-of-the-box makefile.unix
with no further changes or optimizations other than changing the compiler
to gcc4 of course.
Time to compile with GCC 3.4.3
real15m57.606s
user14m25.467s
sys 0m41.458s
Time to compile with GCC 4 "preview"
real19m16.969s
user18m9.633s
sys 0m45.569s
Executable size:
GCC4 34096176 Apr 24 01:05 xmame.x11
GCC3.4.3 36943076 Apr 24 00:41 xmame.x11
Interestingly enough, this:
#include
main()
{
printf("hello world\n");
}
compiles to 4438 bytes with GCC4 but only 4730 bytes with GCC 3.4.3.
There must be slightly more "standard overhead" with GCC4, but that
appears to be made-up-for with a less trivial program.
xmame.x11 pacman
GCC 3.4.3 runs at 1070% 645fps
GCC 4 runs at 1095% 660fps
It looks like we get a bit of "free speed" out of GCC4.

Nope. That's xmame.x11/xv. I get a similar result on my desktop machine when I run suplup with xmame.x11/xv and check it with pmap. It reports a total of 596492K used. But since this machine has more ram (1GB vs 512mb in my game box) I guess that's why it works on this machine. Again, is there a reason why this would be so huge? pacman on this machine (using the same xmame.x11/xv binary) uses a total of 58732k according to pmap, just 10% of suplup's usage. ___ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame

Yep. Samples have the same name as the rom files, so for example your Solar Quest romset is named solarq.zip, and your Solar Quest samples are also names solarq.zip. Putting two files in the same directory with identical names doesn't work; the second will overwrite the first. Create a roms directory and a samples directory. Put the romsets in the roms directory and the samples in the samples directory, point xmame there with your xmamerc file and all will be well. ___ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
[Xmame] suplup, and a new feature idea
SUPLUP -- On my desktop computer, suplup runs fine. On my game machine, I get this: loading rom 0: rom1.bin loading rom 1: rom2.bin loading rom 2: roml00.bin loading rom 3: romu00.bin loading rom 4: roml01.bin loading rom 5: romu01.bin loading rom 6: vrom1.bin done Killed There is a pause of several seconds between the "done" and the "killed". What just happened? FEATURE IDEA It occurs to me that it might come in handy to have a little log file that stores the messages that xmame normally sends to the terminal every time you load a game. This little log could be overwritten each time you load a new game so it doesn't turn into a multi-megabyte monster. The idea here is that when you are running a game machine that has no keyboard, and no window manager loaded (like mine), you can still get see the regular terminal output if there is a problem. Just read the little log afterward. This would also be handy in situations where xmame locks up or otherwise makes the screen unavailable without a reboot or killing the session. ___ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame

Adding perfect-yuv 0 to the xmamerc on both of these computers seems to have fixed the problem. I can see Popeye and Columns 97 now. This may be a problem common to the integrated video on Intel motherboards. I just tried xmame on another machine that also has an Intel motherboard (a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 so it's newer than my machines) and it exhibited the same behaviour. Perhaps we should add a note about this to the xmame documentation.

Actually, it's between 0.86 and 0.87. Using this command on both: xmame.x11 -x11 2 popeye I get video on 0.86, but a blank window (with the game music playing) on 0.87 and the same on 0.88 with "xmame.x11 -vidmod 1 popeye".

This is most interesting. I just compiled xmame.x11 0.89 using the "out of the box" makefile with no modifications at all. I usually set some of the optimizations in the makefile, but not this time. Carnevil doesn't segfault now, oddly enough, but popeye still gives me a blank window with the commandline xmame.x11 -vidmod 1 popeye. I can hear the music playing, so the game is running. I just can't see it. Therefore, the problem is somewhere between 0.85 and 0.89. For my next trick, I shall compile 0.86, 0.87 and 0.88 using the out-of-the-box makefile for each, and determine exactly which which one broke. ___ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame

[Xmame] xv oddness
I am having some trouble with X11/xv on two Fedora Core 3 machines, one of which is my game box. On this desktop machine, Carnevil gives me the initial info screen, then segfaults when I hit a key to continue. It works perfectly with xmame.SDL. On my game box, about half of the games that I've tried to play go to a black screen and that's all she wrote -- I have to log in remotely and reboot the box to get my menu back. All of the neo geo stuff seems to work, puzz loop works, pacman works, but columns97 and battlezone(!) don't. And so on. Has anything changed with regard to xv support with recent versions of xmame, or should I blame the new Fedora for whatever broke here? That's what changed on my game machine -- xmame 0.89 and an upgrade from Redhat 9 to Fedora Core 3. ___ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame

This isn't really a fix as such, but a work around would be to get one of the "fake keyboard" plugs that used to be available (and probably still are) for use with headless servers and such where the bios wouldn't allow the machine to boot without an attached keyboard. It's just a little plug that goes in where the keyboard normally plugs in; it reports "all ok" when queried about the presence of a keyboard and that's all it does. ___ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
