GNOME Video Arcade
Play classic arcade games on your desktop!
GNOME Video Arcade is a simple MAME frontend for the GNOME desktop.
It supports both the xmame and sdlmame ports of MAME for GNU/Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems, and can utilize third-party data files like arcade history and game categories.
GNOME Video Arcade recognizes that the frontend is not the point; the games are. As such, its chief design goal is to help you quickly find a game to play and then get out of the way. Its purpose is not to help you manage your ROM collection, nor to provide a confusing graphical interface for MAME's plethora of configuration options.
GNOME Video Arcade was written by Matthew Barnes and is released under terms of the GNU General Public License.
