Cxmame project is a simple console-based frontend for xmame.
It uses the ncurses library. It was originally intended for xmame.svgalib, but works with all xmame targets.
Before you run cxmame you have to create a ~/.cxmamerc file containing the name of the xmame exectable you want to use (with full path if its not in your PATH ), followed by a ';'.
The first time you run cxmame it will scan your roms and build a gamelist from them. This could take a little while depending on how many roms you've got in your rompath, but it only happens the first time. ( you have to set your rompath as per normal , eg in your xmamerc file ).
What's New in This Release:
· Ripped out wmaker gui because i like the idea of keeping cxmame slimline.
· Fixed a bug that stopped the menu being displayed in an xterm when you have game names over a certain length.
