What are some nice Mame frontends available in Linux? Right now I am using AdvanceMenu but I would like something nicer if possible.

gxmame looks nice....I'll check it out.

I like mameWah but it seems it was lasted updated in 2009 for linux.

I saw some cool screenshots of advanceMenu which looked cool.....I don't know why mine looks so plain.

I was using Version 0.2.12 of GMAMEUI (ebuild and three patches posted a couple of years ago in Gentoo Bugzilla Bug Report No. 213622) with Version 0.148_p1-r1 of SDLMAME, but I can't get gmameui-0.2.12 to merge any more and it hasn't been upgraded since October 2009 so I suppose it's dead. I recently upgraded to Version 0.159 of SDLMAME and am now using Version 0.49 of QMC2, which is quite nice, although I found GMAMEUI a bit easier to use. Details in sdlmame 0.148 - How old is this?.

Hmm.... what differences do you notice from .148? I kinda don't want to do the upgrade since .148 is working now on my Gentoo system(although finding .148 roms is another story).

I'm using the build script they provide, since there's no ebuild for it. Same amount of work either way.

I don't notice any difference, but then I only use it occasionally to play Frogger and Pac-Mania. If what you've got at the moment works, I'd stick with it. Which ROMS don't work for you with SDLMAME 0.148? The handful I downloaded work OK. If you tell me which ones they are and where to download them, I can try them out with SDLMAME 0.159 to see if they work.

Which version are you using? I see they don't have anything under linux->stable.
