You now need to edit
your configuration files, they are located in your home directory
under .advance. You will also
need to copy all your snaps to ~/.advmance/snap
or create a link to them, for example,
ln -s
/usr/local/share/advance/snap ~/.advance/snap
If you plan on using X
to run AdvanceMAME, then you'll need to modify your AdvanceMAME
configuration file, ~/.advance/advmame.rc.
Change device_video_output
auto to device_video_output fullscreen
(you should make the same modification to your ~/.advance/advmenu.rc
file if you have AdvanceMENU installed).
If you plan on using either SVGAlib
or the kernel's framebuffer driver
to run AdvanceMAME, then you'll need to setup your monitor.
At a command prompt run advcfg.
For help with the advcfg utility click here.
Thats it, your finished!! To run AdvanceMENU
just type advmenu at the command prompt and press enter. Note
that to exit a game you must press player 1 button + player
2 button + right joystick. These settings can be modified
along with many others through advancemame's menus. Launch
a game, press tab->input (general)->user interface->ui
option.
