MAME for Power
MauryG5:
Yes MPC in fact when I tried to install this version of OpenSuse, then I tried to find all the dependencies but unfortunately I couldn't, I have no idea where to get them honestly. I solved inveve with Ubuntu, which has version 0.220 already nice and ready in the software store and doesn't need any dependencies.

I dunno what the problem is. I never tried to install MAME.

From what I have seen, the problem exists on Fedora, mainly because it takes the famous dependencies as often happens when you use Fedora. I also found a version 0.190 or 193 now I don't remember well, which still worked on Fedora. I tried to install it and I was also successful but then he asked me about the dependencies that I tried to look for but that I did not find. Probably I was wrong to look for the source, but being that few use MAME on Power, no one has been able to tell me exactly where to get them. I had also tried to compile but it gave me that error that also on the GITLAB site is mentioned and shown so I abandoned the idea on Fedora. When I managed to get Ubuntu running smoothly on Power, I solved this problem and now I regularly use MAME on Powerm too, a bit like Daniel does on Void.In any case the main problem is the dependencies and then the fact that there is no recent version on Fedora as they have problems compiling at the moment. Maybe they will do something about Fedora 35 to correct this problem but we don't know anything yet ...

Rejoice foiks, Fedora 36 (rawhide as of today 17 Feb 2022) has re-enabled the ppc64le RPM build
ref: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mame/c/ac389954f54811556b11548396329a86cc82dfae?branch=rawhide
That means Fedora 36 would have MAME out of the box

Hi TLE, thanks for the news. At the moment Fedora put it aside and am using Ubuntu and Debian more, due to that exasperated slowness issue of Gnome from 40 onwards. We will see later anyway thanks for the good news.
