I started building this because I thought it would be nice to have a console based frontend for xmame.svgalib, especially for people who want to run xmame on a machine without X. But I suppose something like this is ideal for someone who just wants a minimal frontend - I like typing the game names to jump to them in the menu ;=)

$ tar zxf cxmame-0.4.src.tar.gz
or
$ tar xfj cxmame-0.4.src.tar.bz2
then cd to the directory and:
make
make install
note - make install needs to be done as root.
Before you run cxmame you have to create a ~/.cxmamerc file containing the name of the xmame exectable you want to use (with full path if its not in your PATH ), followed by a ';'. For example my ~/.cxmamerc looks like this.
The first time you run cxmame it will scan your roms and build a gamelist from them. This could take a little while depending on how many roms you've got in your rompath, but it only happens the first time. ( you have to set your rompath as per normal , eg in your xmamerc file ).

WORKAROUND: If using xmame.svgalib don't build the gamelist from within X.
[2] You might stay up all night trying to get to the next level on GreenBeret, and then realise you've got to be out of the house in half an hour. This is a problem with the xmame core, do not contact me about this.
WORKAROUND: give up your job/life, whatever it takes.
