For all of us arcade lovers who like to build an arcade cabinet based on Ubuntu. I hope there are quite a few, right? :D

Here from the official side:

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.

Mainly used for arcade cabintes. AdvanceMenu is a very nice frontend for this purpose. And they are working quite nicley together :)

You have another vote right here, I've been using MAME since the 0.7x releases. I'm addicted. Please add them! I would love it! :grin:
