| Post subject: | how to mythgame? |
hi there.. id like to play some old arcade game roms through mythgame. trouble is i have no idea how. i looked at the knoppwiki.. there are a few posts, but http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=MythGame seemed the most promising. trouble is most of the links are broken.. and it's not fully descriptive for the git i am. the mythtv wiki also assumed some prior knowledge... which i dont have. is there a walk through? can i play linux games like tux racer through mythgame? .. or is it just emulation. no worries if i cant.. i can just create another menu called GAMES and add a button that will launch the game over the top of mythtv. |

Hi Steve, Yes you can play any game that works under linux with the MythGame plugin. Basically all you need to do for PC games is install the game (ie. apt-get install frozen-bubble or whatever) then setup a player for it under the Setup -> Setup -> blah blah -> Game Players. For your old arcade games you use the emulator xmame or zsnes. These come mostly preconfigured. Settings folder is /etc/xmame and zsnes has a GUI for config (just run zsnes on the command line). I don't know of any walkthroughs, I just put pieces together from searching, but if you have any specific questions feel free to ask. Good luck, Kirk. |

Hi I usually install gnome-games, they are simple but my kids like them of course frozen-bubbles is high on their preferrence list  There are quite a few and if you use synaptic, you can view the list that are in the package.
You can start them from an xterm window or put them in the menus. I would assume you could add them to the games menu but I have never tried.. makes too much sense and not enough work. Mike |
