mame for slackware is not installed even if it should be

[Solstar]

i downloaded a txc package for mame for slackware.i open up the terminal.type in su-,then the folder of the file and type installpkg nameofthefile.txc.the terminal says that its installed now but i can't find it anywhere,not even with the search function....

Never heard about .txc files.

Where did you grab it ?

BTW mame4all and mame ex .pnds work.

sorry i meant txz files..yeah i know that the pnd version works but they're based off a heinous version of mame with an old romset so i wanted to try the newest mame version on slackware..

and obviously downloaded the x86 version.according to the terminal,its been installed correctly.according to me its not,because i can't find it anywhere

The Pandora is NOT x86. It's arm. You will need to compile mame yourself most likely.


I think you just extracted the x86 version but you cannot run it.

@Solstar: Even if it worked Mame 0.146 would be way too slow, just use Mame4all, Panmame, FBA and GnGeo for the moment, maybe in the future (hopefully in the incoming Dragonbox compo) some dev will release a faster Mame version so, perhaps, we can finally play Mortal Kombat 2 and other great arcade games on the Pandora.

we can finally play Mortal Kombat 2

that was my gripe..oh well let's wait and see
