It does improve the perf BUT it is still tad slower than GNOME 3.38

Well, I can't argue with that. But it's much more useable than without it.

Good news. We've finally had the official MAME RPM packages in Fedora 36. This forum threads have finally get to the end :)

Has anyone been able to get NFL Blitz to work? Just wondering if it is a no go or more than likely pebcak?

Well TLE, so now finally Fedora can finally use MAME too, good news I would say. As you know by now I have switched to Debian, so I don't care much about what happens on Fedora anymore, but I am equally pleased that more software is coming. Unfortunately the main problem of MAME on Power is the poor general optimization, I noticed that several games that on the X86 version are very good, I am talking about old stuff above all, I am not talking about recent things for heaven's sake, but old stuff that unfortunately runs slow on Power and unplayable. Really a shame, it would be nice to know how to optimize the code and make better use of the available hardware, it would be really very nice!

Does it not start? What issue do you see?
I haven't thoroughly tested it (and my ROM set is for an older MAME, so it's possible I'll have some fallout migrating it from my G5 to the POWER9) but basic behaviour seems to be fine.
