Arcade Gaming on CentOS 7!? Installing by compiling from sources!?

Post by bigbanana69 » 2017/07/03 22:56:26

Hi all,

I like to play arcade games on the computer,

how do I install these apps with all the dependencies & GUI frontends?

MAME - Mame; SDLMame + the gui frontends
Neo Geo - gngeo
Neo Geo CD - NeoCD/SDL
Neo Geo Pocket - NeoPocott; NeoPop-SDL
Sony PS2 - PCSX2
Sony PS1 - ePSXe; PCSX-Reloaded
Sega Dreamcast - Lxdream
Sega Saturn - Yabause
Sega Genesis, CD, Master System, Game Gear - Kega Fusion; Gens; DGen
Nintendo Gamecube - Gcube; Dolphin
Nintendo 64 - Mupen64 Plus; SupraHLE
Nintendo SNES - Zsnes, Snes 9x
Nintendo NES - FCEUS, Nestopia
Nintendo DS - iDeas, DeSmuMe
Nintendo Gameboy, GB Color, GB Advance - VisualBoyAdvance

I had found out that "yum install zsnes", installs zsnes 1.51 (the latest version is 1.52).
Also "yum install mupen64plus", installs mupen64 plus v2.07 while the latest version is 2.5

How would be the nice and easy way, and how would be the not-recommended way to install them by compiling from sources?
I have the sources, but I can't find dependencies? Please post them with links.

Any suggestions?

Retroarch and Mame are massive and messy (even very complex and "heavy"). I haven't tested Retroarch how it works, but Mame is supposed to "support" a lot of machines and games/roms, but a lot of the roms and machines don't work properly and even not working at all. Retroarch is supposed to support evem much more machines/consoles and roms/games than mame, it's even more complex and very heavy, but I haven't tested it how it works.

Separete emulators and the ones with fewer machines/consoles support ussually work excellent.

I'll try to install rpm's from pkgs.org.
