Games / Re: Strange but good fork of MAME for OS/2
« on: June 20, 2025, 11:03:23 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,

Hi,
Thank you on response, but that port very looks like MAME32 for Windows. Ok GUI, very easy to run and play ROMs.
I will searching for that.
