[Cialug] Myth Games

[Nathan C. Smith]

Depends on your machine and whether you are into MAME.

I like it to play frozen bubble sometimes.
Otherwise....

Is there a reason you went the gentoo way instead of knoppmyth?  Knoppmyth
puts games moives, dvd ripper mythphone mythweb - just gads of stuff on
without any effort.  Then it's just up to you to tune it and load any other
video drivers etc. you may need.

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?
