Recent releases
- 11 May 2004 14:17
Changes: This is a preview of what 1.3 will be like, minus the features of NTFS write access and arcade monitor support. VIA AC97 sound is fixed, and the NVidia binary driver is now supplied.
- 17 Feb 2004 11:30
Changes: This is a small point release which fixes a bug where the new addroms utility would not save configuration changes if remastering from an already remastered CD. Type "addroms" at the boot prompt to try the new utility which adds your ROMs to the CD and makes you a new .iso. All filesystems are supported, but writing to NTFS (although possible) is still experimental.
- 02 Feb 2004 15:49
Changes: This release has an "addroms" boot option to create a custom CD with ROMs added from a running CD. This is done with a new graphical addroms utility. X-MAME has been updated to 0.78.1, GXMame to 0.34b, and the Linux kernel to 2.6.1. Dynamic path configuration for GXMame is now generated at boot time to find /roms and /samples folders on all hard drives or extra CD-ROMs.
- 21 Dec 2003 19:56
Changes: This release uses the 2.6 kernel. It supports more joysticks, and ALSA ISA cards. The CD is more modular now, allowing the replacement of the kernel or xmame executable. Because xmame development is very rapid, this should be a welcome addition.
- 18 Jun 2003 17:38
Changes: ROMs can now be put on the CD ISO without having to remaster/recompress Knoppix. /ramdisk/home can also be copied to the root of the ISO to make configuration changes persistent. Networking support is now enabled and supported with xmame and gxmame. XMAME has been updated to 0.69 and gxmame to 0.33. Xv is now the default display mode; it can be changed by using the "dga" option on the boot commandline. The ISO is now 100MB smaller, at 200MB.

Really? Interesting... Would someone please volunteer to
help and collaborate on this then? I am intrigued to have
such a recent post and have been thinking myself of doing
an update recently; however, I could really use some help.

Hello
Yes, we all want an update of this project!
Anyone still interested in this project?
I'd like to know if anyone would like KnoppiXMAME to be
updated. If not, I will officially abandon it.
If so, please let me know why you think this bootable X-MAME
CD with a remastering GUI would still be cool. I am just itching
for a reason to revive it.
