Linux Mame Players?

[ChrisP]

All modern Mames (including the Wolf variants of them) come WITH a frontend.

The frontend is built into mame.exe now.

It's not very good, but it gets the job done.

I generally go command-window/line anyway though because of how easy it is to quit and restart: ESC - up arrow - increment INP filename by 1 (or not) - Enter

no gui 's here, all command line. also..

if you press F3 it should reset the game rather than having to fully exit and restart mame.

i downloaded a binary of wolfmame 0.127 for 64 bit linux apparently compiled in 2008:

attached was a changelog. i found it interesting that only until version 0.119 will cheats be disabled when recording INPs. (see attached file) can anyone find another wolfmame readme or changelog to confirm this info?

Cheats don't really matter when recording, as in general unless the person playing the .inp back has enabled the same cheat, the recording won't play back.  So for example if you used an invincibility cheat while recording, you could record that way, but if you submitted your score somewhere (e.g. MARP or TG), your recording would not playback for others since they wouldn't have the invincibility cheat enabled.  Recordings that don't play back won't be confirmed.
