It would be really awesome if all of the libraries were in place so that you could just download mame and type "make" and have everything compile without having to install a bunch of things with apt-get.
Years ago I think with knoppix5.3 dvd I seem to remember being able to compile the version of mame that was current then with knoppix out of the box.
Hi, there:
Not trying to be a smart ar$e, but have just went to the Debian repository for a quick look. Pre-compiled deb packages of mame (version 0.146 and 0.154) are up for grabs from here if running the most updated version of mime (version 0.168 ) isn't the object. Not a gamer, so I have no idea if running different versions will make a difference though...
Hi!
I think one should try out the binary package from deb-multimedia.org. There you can find mame version 0.168 for the sid distribution. Maybe this package works with Knoppix 7.6.0, too.
Since the source of mame 0.168 deb package is also available there you could read the build description of the package in order to find out which additional packages are to be installed on Knoppix 7.6.0 or if there is any conflicting package which make it nearly impossible to compile mame 0.168.
Thanks for all of your suggestions. Two of my favorite things are knoppix and mame. Someone awhile back put out something called "knoppixmame" but that hasn't been updated for a long time.Originally Posted by klaus2008
I didn't know about deb-multimedia.org, so I'll give it a try.
I had some problems with knoppix 7.5 with using synaptic and updating packages and got a little discouraged.
After I got started using ubuntu, I've been using that because I can compile mame without any problems. But I love to fiddle with knoppix so I thought I'd give it a go with knoppix 8.1.
(from http://docs.mamedev.org/initialsetup/compilingmame.html)
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libfontconfig-dev qt5-default
which should install everything you need to compile mame.
I tried that on a fresh knoppix 8.1 after updating the repositories with "sudo apt-get update" and it hangs up on:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libfontconfig-dev qt5-default

Note, selecting 'libfontconfig1-dev' instead of 'libfontconfig-dev'
build-essential is already the newest version (12.3).
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

I'm pretty much a novice with the complexities of upgrading so I thought I'd try the deb-multimedia packages as suggested.
I was able to get the "stable" version working without any problems (it is version 0.186)
http://deb-multimedia.org/dists/stab...kage/mame-data
http://deb-multimedia.org/dists/stab...6/package/mame
I downloaded the deb files:
http://deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/...6-dmo1_all.deb
http://deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/...-dmo1_i386.deb
then did a dpkg -i to install them:
sudo dpkg -i mame-data_0.186-dmo1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mame_0.186-dmo1_i386.deb
and it puts the mame files in /usr/share/games/mame and the executable in /usr/games/mame
ls /usr/share/games/mame
ls -l /usr/games/mame
The deb-multimedia "testing" version didn't work for me with various dependency problems.
sudo dpkg -i mame_0.192-dmo1_i386.deb (Reading database ... 451601 files and directories currently installed.)

===============================
And I've come up with a command line that I like:
mame -rompath "whereiputmyroms" -console -ui_active -window -debug -confirm_quit -verbose
I needed to add the -ui_active or the ui tab menu wouldn't come up in mame. Interestingly, the Insert key is the toggle key for full/partial keyboard emulation, mame's standard key is the Scroll Lock key.
Use -verbose if you want to know all about what mame is doing, and how it was compiled.
Use the -debug switch if you want to use the mame debugger. (type g to "go" in the debugger window)
And you can use the lua console of mame if you use the -console switch so you can fiddle with lua from the terminal.
[MAME]> print("I am lua")
I am lua
[MAME]> for i=1,10 do print(i) end

Hi!
I would suggest you issueThe deb-multimedia "testing" version didn't work for me with various dependency problems.after using dpkg.Code:sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -f install
I tried that but it didn't seem to work for me... it still couldn't handle the conflicts.
I've got a question regarding some strange behavior of knoppix 8.1.
If I install the deb-multimedia.org version of mame 0.186, I can use the mame lua console if I use knoppix 8.1 from a non-persistent system (ie just fresh boot from an 8.1 live dvd).
I can use the mame lua console if I use knoppix 8.1 from a flash drive installed with a fat32 partition with a fat32 overlay image.
but if I use knoppix 8.1 from a flash drive/hard drive installed with a fat32 partition with a reiserfs overlay partition, the mame lua console does _NOT_ work. I've been testing and testing and it seems to definitely be the reiserfs overlay partition.
The packages that I'm using are:
http://deb-multimedia.org/dists/stab...6/package/mame
http://deb-multimedia.org/dists/stab...kage/mame-data
and the download packages are at:
http://deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/...-dmo1_i386.deb
http://deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/...6-dmo1_all.deb
This is on a freshly installed knoppix with reiserfs overlay partition:
(note that no lua console is shown and no plugins work, if you go to the plugins menu in mame, you will not see any entries)Code:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo dpkg -i mame_0.186-dmo1_i386.deb mame-data_0.186-dmo1_all.deb Selecting previously unselected package mame.

Again, this only seems to happen with the reiserfs overlay.
I thought I'd try it again to make sure:
I boot knoppix, typing "knoppix64 noimage" to boot without using the overlay partition. It's just as if I booted knoppix with the live dvd.
Then I mount the reiserfs overlay partition on /dev/sdb2 readonly on /mnt/a just so I can access my mamepackages which I've previously downloaded.
Once I install the 0.186 dmo packages with dpkg, the mame lua console and the plugins work. If you go to the plugins menu in mame, the menu shows all the normal plugins.

I was fiddling around with Debian 9.3 and thought, what if I installed Debian 9.3 i386 32 bit on an external usb hard drive and see if I could compile mame 194.
I was able to compile mame 194 myself after removing a few items from the compile specifically the barcrest and bfm games, otherwise it would exhaust the virtual memory with gcc v6.3.0.

Knoppix 9.1 and mame
==========================
I wanted to see if I could get knoppix9.1 working with mame,
"lsb_release -a"
says that it's running "bullseye/sid"
so I went to packages.debian.org and looked under bullseye and found
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/i386/games/mame
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye...ames/mame-data
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye...games/mame-doc
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/i386/liblua5.3-0
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/i386/libpugixml1v5
and get all of these and make sure that you get the "i386" version
then you should have these files:
and then use dpkg -i to install them:Code:mame_0.228+dfsg.1-1_i386.deb mame-data_0.228+dfsg.1-1_all.deb mame-doc_0.228+dfsg.1-1_all.deb liblua5.3-0_5.3.3-1.1+b1_i386.deb libpugixml1v5_1.11.4-1_i386.deb
That should install all of the mame stuff.Code:sudo dpkg -i libpugixml1v5_1.11.4-1_i386.deb mame-data_0.228+dfsg.1-1_all.deb mame-doc_0.228+dfsg.1-1_all.deb liblua5.3-0_5.3.3-1.1+b1_i386.deb mame_0.228+dfsg.1-1_i386.deb
set $roms to where you've got your roms. For example, say I've got my roms in two different directories:
then launch mame withCode:ROMS="/media/sdb1/roms;/media/sdb1/soft"
Code:mame -rompath "$ROMS"
=====================================
I had a little bit of trouble getting the joystick (mame uses SDL2 for joystick input) to work under sdl2 because of permissions, you may try a couple of things:
I installed evtest as well from:
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/i386/utils/evtest
so if you run "sudo evtest" it will give you a list. Figure out which one is your joystick, and then
If you don't want to install evtest, you could try just looking at /proc/bus/input/devices:
Code:cat /proc/bus/input/devicesNotice how js1 has the crw-rw-r--? SDL2 doesn't use the /dev/input/jsX, but rather one of the /dev/input/eventXX, and I think it has to have the a+r set.Code:ls -l /dev/input drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 220 Sep 27 14:28 by-id drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 240 Sep 27 14:28 by-path crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 64 Aug 7 08:56 event0 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 65 Aug 7 08:56 event1 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 76 Aug 7 08:56 event12 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 77 Aug 7 08:56 event13 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 78 Aug 7 08:56 event14 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 79 Aug 7 08:56 event15 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 80 Aug 7 08:56 event16 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 81 Aug 7 08:56 event17 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 82 Aug 7 08:56 event18 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 83 Aug 7 08:56 event19 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 66 Aug 7 08:56 event2 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 67 Sep 27 14:28 event3 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 68 Sep 27 14:28 event4 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 69 Aug 7 08:56 event5 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 70 Aug 7 08:56 event6 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 71 Sep 27 14:28 event7 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 72 Sep 27 14:28 event8 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 73 Sep 27 14:28 event9 crw-rw-r-- 1 root input 13, 1 Aug 7 08:56 js1 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 63 Aug 7 08:56 mice crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 32 Aug 7 08:56 mouse0 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 33 Aug 7 08:56 mouse1 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 34 Aug 7 08:56 mouse2 crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 35 Sep 27 14:28 mouse3
if the list says your joystick is event 22Code:"sudo chmod a+r /dev/input/event22"
This will open up the permissions for /dev/input/event22 so "all can read" it.
so if you launch mame with -verbose it should show your joystick getting opened.
Some discussion about the issue here:

another thing you could try is to add the user "knoppix" to the "input" group.
Code:groups knoppix (will show the groups that knoppix is part of) sudo adduser knoppix input
