TkMAME software is a graphical interface for XMAME developed with Tcl/Tk. It allows users to easily browse and select games to play on the XMAME emulator.
TkMAME is a Tcl/Tk frontend for XMAME that serves as a complete graphical frontend for MAME (The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). It is a versatile software that runs on both Linux/Unix and Windows platforms.
The software has numerous key features, including its ability to run on multiple operating systems like Windows 95, Windows NT, and Linux/Unix operating systems, and its publicly available source code. It is also the smallest front end available for MAME, with a size of less than 100k in size.
Additionally, the software has an intuitive user-friendly graphical user interface, and users can view ROM screenshots stored in GIF format. They can also save individual ROM configuration settings for each ROM and automatically recognize new ROMs available with new versions of MAME.
Furthermore, the actual MAME command line is visible while users configure their ROM, allowing them to see how the command line changes as they change available options. There are also user interface widgets for every MAME option, and the software has the ability to automatically download new cheat data from Pugsy's Cheat Page.
TkMAME even allows for the automatic upload of new high scores to the MAME Action Replay Page, and ROMs are grouped by year and manufacturer as well as vector games. Users can also redefine ROMs, add new ROMs, and create their own ROM groups. The software has a quick search capability that makes it easy to navigate through your ROMs list.
Menus in TkMAME can be detached to become separate windows, and it uses the mame.cfg file to get its default values. The software can display which ROMs are missing and automatically scans the gamelist.txt file to extract game information for each ROM as the user browses through their ROMs. Furthermore, the software is capable of verifying ROMs and samples directly from the user interface, and there is a diagnostics feature that helps you check all of your ROMs at once.
Users can customize the look of the user interface by changing colors and fonts, and the software is capable of configuring ROMs to use alternate versions of MAME. However, the software does have some requirements, including Tcl 8.0.5 and Tk 8.0.5.
In the latest release, the software has fixed pulldown menu issues, fixed a bug that caused TkMAME to crash when reading scale values in your xmamerc file, added .PNG support for images, and erased search string on the next event. Overall, TkMAME is an excellent software that offers a wide range of features and customization options.
