Games / Re: Strange but good fork of MAME for OS/2
« on: June 18, 2025, 08:26:06 am »I tried eCS in past. I remembered that I tried fork of MAME with GUI. Owner of that program dedicated it to his deceased cat, I remembered that detail, and that notice appeared when you open that program or when you click on About button.
Do you know name of that fork, I would like to try it again to play some games.

Hello,
currently two major flavors of MAME run under ArcaOS - OS/2.
The first is the old MAME 0.37, including a PM GUI - which I find pretty elegant, by the way.
The second is the SDL MAME port from KO Myung-Hun, who is active on this forum. Latest version is on Hobbes Archive:

I can't seem to remember another MAME port, but your hint to a cat makes me think about InfinityCat - an OS/2 port of MUGEN. Since the original site is long gone, the only (?) way to download it is by going to Internet Archive:

Mind you, this port is largely underdeveloped IIRC.
HTH,
