I’m running a fully updated Ubuntu 18.04 with X and I’m testing the MAME snap and I’m facing a few issues:
- When I start it I see this messages:
$ mame

But MAME starts OK nevertheless.
-
The fonts of the menu look a little bit blurry, compared with the sharp ones I can see in my compiled version of MAME. An example:
Snap version
Compiled version
-
I cannot use the keyboard in the main MAME window to search for games.
-
I cannot seem to make my joystick work out of the box. Shouldn’t this snap have the joystick interface auto-connected? Or at least a comentary in the description sayin which interfaces should be manyally connected.
Here is more info about my system:
$ snap version
snap 2.35
snapd 2.35
series 16
ubuntu 18.04
kernel 4.15.0-34-generic
$ snap interfaces | grep mame
:hardware-observe mame
:home mame
:joystick mame
:network gnome-calculator,lxd,mame
:network-bind mame
:opengl mame
:optical-drive mame
:process-control mame
:pulseaudio mame
:screen-inhibit-control mame
:unity7 gnome-calculator,mame
- mame:mount-observe
Are you experiencing those problems too @popey ?
Thanks a lot for this!
