advancemame (Multi Arcade Machine Emulator) Advancemame is a derivative of the well known "mame" emulator. It works easily on linux, with joystick support, fullscreen support, and more "out of the box." Optional dependency: SDL2. By default, advancemame is built with SDL-1.2. If SDL-2.0 is installed, advancemame will autodetect it and use it instead. If you have SDL2 installed, but want to build advancemame with SDL-1.2, set SDL2=no in the script's environment.
