Bugzilla Bug 74885

Heres a newer GXMame release based on a CVS snapshot. Last stable release is
from
2003 and fails with recent XMame versions.

The new version has some "smart" option detection code which could make it also
more compatible with the upcomming XMame releases

XML parsing is now done internal so it doesn't need the external xml2info tool
anymore.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




Since GXMame is still one of the best frontends available i think it's worth
it.

Created an attachment (id=46300) [edit]
ebuild for GXMame 0.35 pre-release

While I'm glad that gxmame is *finally* getting some updates, this build still
has some problems:

1) File -> Audit All Games doesn't work:

sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: -c: line 0: `/usr/games/bin/xmame.SDL -noloadconfig -(null) -rompath
'/usr/lib/games/xmame/roms/' 2>/dev/null'
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: -c: line 0: `/usr/games/bin/xmame.SDL -noloadconfig -(null) -samplepath
'/usr/lib/games/xmame/samples/' 2>/dev/null'


2) I have the sound turned off in my config but gxmame isn't telling xmame
that.  I still get sound in all the games (I usually turn it off and have mp3's
playing in the background):

This is no knock against the ebuild because it compiles fine... Just that
gxmame-0.35 has a little ways to go...   Thanks.

Recent MAME versions don't offer the nosound option anymore. The only bug would
be that the option is still available in GXMame.It was in the changelog some
time ago.

I've updated the files in http://dev.gentoo.org/~joker/gxmame/
(ebuild and distfiles)

It fixes the "Audit All Games" functionality.

gxmame-0.35_cvs was released upstream

ive added that to portage

please file a new bug if you have issues with that version
