I am very displeased to announce that it runs like a slug.

This is what I did.... any help much appreciated.

I got scratchbox running on my suse box...
downloaded and compiled advancemame with a few warnings
ran it once or twice on scratchbox
transferred the directory structure to my nokia 770.
(I was testing, otherwise I would have just downloaded the executable)
ran advmame which is in obj/mame/linux/blend/advmame

which generated config files/directories
/home/user/.advance/*

Then I edited advmame.rc and changed a couple of keybindings.

loaded some roms into /home/user/.advance/rom

then ran advmame again
advmame dkong (donkey kong)


It isn't really playable.... It has serious speed issues.
But, everything seems to work.


Anyone have any ideas/pointers to what could be done to speed it up?

PS. I think I might be able to get it to display on the side that way double size should fit!

P.P.S. please excuse fingerprint smudges on pics.
What version of MAME are you running? Have you tried an older version, such as 0.36, which I think is what most light computers like Palm use?
