MAME for Power
MauryG5:
Guys I tried to take the MAME source and compile it myself but unfortunately it doesn't work, it gives an error as you can see in the section dedicated to our architecture. I don't know at this point how for example Daniel Kolesa managed to get the version of him on Void LInux, it seems that there were errors in the source and therefore it is not compile and installable as a result. Finally, I don't know where to find the dependencies and libraries it needs ...

Guys, I finally found Mame in the games section of the Ubuntu software store. This is version 0.220, quite recent therefore considering that they have arrived at version 0.232. It works quite well, certainly lacks optimization as well, games like Street Fighter 3 for example, run badly, the same game on Mac with X86 from 2012, runs perfect. In any case it is quite good and above all it is available directly and without having to download additional repositories or anything else.

But if i try to install it, it asks me besides some libraries, also the package called "mame-data.229 but i don't find this package anywhere. I found also the 197 version but I have the same problem, I can't find the package mame-data, that are the repositories that mame needs to be able to work. I've tried to run the command "dnf install mame-data" as a site recommends but it doesn't find anything unfortunately... I would like to understand at this point if this dependencies package exists or not... But if it doesn't exist, how come there is this source 229.rpm for our architecture?
The link where I found those sources: https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mame%28ppc-64%29+data&submit=Cerca+...+&system=&arch=

I believe the RPM packages are built for OpenSUSE and the mame-data thus is only available in OpenSUSE registry. You would have to find that package and manually install it on Fedora. Lastly I am not even sure if the RPM for OpenSUSE would work with Fedora
MauryG5:
Hi TLE, I thought that being files with RPM extensions, they were also usable on Fedora but obviously this is not the case. In the end I was unable to use it on Fedora but as I wrote in the previous post, now I use it successfully on Ubuntu which is regularly available and does not need any particular dependencies to install ... Thanks anyway!

A while ago I installed the shortwave package from OpenSUSE on Fedora without a problem. So it works, as long as you have all dependencies installed, of course.
