[Cialug] Myth Games

[Tony Bibbs]

Is Myth Games worth the work?  I grabbed whatever the default version of 
xmame is from Portage and when I go to the games submenu it complains 
that the version of xmame isn't supported.  Then I got to thinking it 
may not be worth fixing the problem, then I got to thinking it would be 
'cool' if for no other reason the simple selfish geek satisfaction. 
Anybody else using Myth Games?

...and is there a way to figure out what version of xmame will work with 
  Myth 0.18?
