2007-03-07 emulators/grustibus: Project was abandoned 6 years ago and expects an old version of xmame (0.37b4), please use other frontends instead (like gxmame)
2007-03-10 graphics/drm-kmod: Broken on all supported versions of FreeBSD
of one of the first XMAME GUI frontends available on this planet called
QMamecat (derived from MAMECAT, which was text-only).
QMamecat was based upon Qt 2; its development was frozen in 2003. QMC2 has
been rebuilt from scratch as a Qt 4 project. Parts of the design and code were
inspired by its predecessor, but it's not just a remake. We tried to make the
new design as flexible as possible to minimize dependencies from frontend- and
CLI-related MAME changes, which was a major deficiency of QMamecat. QMC2 now
uses a template based MAME configuration scheme, which can easily be enhanced
with additional command line options (defined in an XML template file).
As a result of this flexible design, we are able to support multiple MAME
targets - currently XMAME and SDLMAME!

It has the following features:
- Preview Screenshot.
- Game List built from available ROMs.
- ROM status verification.
- Capture window for XMAME output detail.
- Random Game feature to start a random (working) game.

Loemu is a free application that provides a simple frontend for various game
emulators.
Features:
- Currently it supports game emulation with xmame, sdlmame and snes9x.
- Browse games using dynamic list. This allows to browse in a list generated
with some categories (and it has other advantages).
- Finds games quickly. Using a specific dialog that looks for a game in all
the gamelist.
- The generation of the dynamic list filtering the gamelist is very fast.
- It has been developed with PyGTK + Glade.
- Released under GNU General Public License.
The design of loemu allows the support of more emulators adding specific
emulator configuration files.

it's development:
1) Run on Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and other SDL supported operating systems with
as few changes as possible to the base Win32 code. This means we can track
changes faster than larger more conventional ports, and we also maintain
what I call "Firefox compatibilty" where learning a major app only needs to
be done once per application, and it then applies across many operating
systems. If you can use the command-line Win32 MESS, you already know how
to use SDLMESS on any platform you may encounter it on.
2) MESS developers are important. By keeping quickly up to date, we make it
easy for people on non-Windows platforms to make and submit changes to the
core MESS code, and we offer native implementations of MESS's multi-window
GUI debugger on both Linux/Unix and Mac OS X.

It runs in Linux, Mac OS X, DOS, Windows and in all the other platforms
supported by the SDL library. The main features are:
* Auto update of the rom info.
* Vertical and horizontal orientation.
* Support for any TV/Arcade Monitor like AdvanceMAME but it's good also for a
normal PC monitor.
* Static and Animated image and clip preview (PNG/PCX/ICO/MNG). Up to 192
images at the same time!
* Sound preview. (MP3/WAV). You can select a special sound for every game
played when the cursor move on it.
* Sound backgrounds (MP3/WAV). Play your favourite songs or radio records in
background.
* Sound effects (MP3/WAV) for key press, program start, game start, program
exit...
* Support for zipped images and sounds archives.
* Screensaver. A slide show of the game images.
* Selectable background and help images with translucency.

advanced video support for helping the use with TVs, Arcade Monitors, Fixed
Frequencies Monitors and also for PC Monitors.
They run in GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, DOS, Windows and in all the other platforms
supported by the SDL library.
The main difference compared with the official emulators is that the Advance
versions are able to program directly the video board to always get a video
mode with the correct size and frequency.
Generally the Advance emulators are able to use a video mode which doesn't
require any stretching or other unneeded effects to match the original arcade
display.
The direct video board programming is fully supported in Linux and DOS. It's
partially supported in Windows. It isn't supported in Mac OS X and other
platforms.
See website for other improvements.

On this page, you'll find command line programs which can replace and/or
supplement the VMware's official VMwareTools.
These programs use VMware's undocumented and therefore not officially
supported feature to communicate with VMware (see VMware Backdoor I/O Port).
Information on these functions have come entirely from my personal research
and quite a few contributions by fellow VMware users.
These programs are intended partly as illustrative examples of how to use the
VMware backdoor function and I have cut many corners writing them.

multi-system emulator with many advanced features. The Atari Lynx, GameBoy,
GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, NES, PC Engine(TurboGrafx 16), and SuperGrafx
are emulated. Mednafen has the ability to remap hotkey functions and virtual
system inputs to a keyboard, a joystick, or both simultaneously. Save states
are supported, as is real-time game rewinding. Screen snapshots may be taken at
the press of a button, and are saved in the popular PNG file format.
Mednafen is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL.
Due to the threaded model of emulation used in Mednafen, and limitations of SDL
a joystick is preferred over a keyboard to play games, as the joystick will have
slightly less latency, although the latency differences may not be perceptible
to most people.

the current linux_base-8 port).
You should only switch to this port if you know what you are doing.
You may or may not have problems with installing other linux related
ports after switching to it. Success or failure reports welcome.
To switch:
- echo "OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=fc3" >> /etc/make.conf
- portupgrade -fo emulators/linux_base-fc3 linux_base-8
News and changes (from submitter with some small changes by me):
- based on linux_base-8 port;
- don't use linux rpm binary to install. The whole source tree is
created at ${WRKDIR} and then installed (using cpio);
- removes some files and directories (etc/passwd, etc/group,
usr/local, ...) to ensure using FreeBSD original files;
- introduces etc/nsswitch.conf.dist and etc/yp.conf.sample files,
uses correct install/deinstall behaviour with etc/nsswitch.conf
and etc/yp.conf files;
- doesn't do [u]mounting while install/deinstall process.
Thus it is possible to use jails while building packages.
But since linprocfs is not automounted, special measures should be
taken at package building for those ports which need a mounted
linprocfs (i.e. for linux JDK building);
- uses linux ldconfig in the pkg-install file (as opposed to using in
the Makefile). It is needed when upgrading (i.e. when other linux
libraries are present in the system) and when installing by packages.

So ports/LEGAL should be updated. These are the file names:

These files are also listed in the "NGBIOS" variable in the
