A MAME emulator of epic proportions

1. Installation

   de requires python, pygtk, and bsddb3. If you are running Ubuntu, the packages are python, python-gtk2, and python-bsddb3.

2. Configuration

   de first needs to build a database from the MAME supported games list. To do this, first run the following command to get the list in xml format:

   $ mame -listxml > games.xml

   Then, generate the de database from the games list:

   $ de-resync games.xml

   This creates a file called games.db in the current directory.

3. Adding games

   Each game present in your library needs to be added using the de-add-game command:

   $ de-add-game

4. Running the frontend

   After you have added your games, run the frontend:

   $ double-elbow

   The 'w' and 's' keys scroll up and down. 'enter' to start playing a game, 'q' quits the frontend.
