MAME is an emulator for those games, at least people my age-old used to play on the famous corner arcades.And many still remember those long hours of fun in front of the arcade machines with games like Metal Slug , Double Dragon or Super Sideckicks .
To my pleasant surprise, the blog of A Bionformatiquillo I learned that there is a version of theMAME emulator for GNU / Linux , or at least for Debian and distros based on it like Ubuntu or LinuxMint. To install it, just follow these steps:
Open a terminal (console) and type the following to install the emulator and all the necessary files:
$ Sudo aptitude install xmame-sdl xmame-common
After installing the MAME emulator, we download a frontend to run it in GUI by typing:
$ Wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gxmame/gxmame_0.35beta2-1_i386.deb
Once downloaded the frontend, just unpack it and install it with the command:
$ Sudo dpkg-i-1_i386.deb gxmame_0.35beta2
