I'm working a feature that will point to URL's for download and make this even easier, but.that's down the road, for now. It can take a few seconds to load all the data, but after this we create caches and indexes and the next startup will be really fast. The more you have, the more it can display back to you.

Screen shots and application details in the next few posts below.įirst time in, this application will ask you to specify where to find things like 'mame.xml' and other data files.

The current feature set is largely due to BYOAC member feedback, with artwork from 8bitmonk, et al. I've attempted to recreate the GUI, based on images from the wayback machine, with some tweaks to make better use of screen real-estate. The coding was done largely without looking at the original MAWS code, so differences may exist. As a very rough estimate, assume you'll need about 750MB-1GB free RAM. older or lesser spec'd raspberry-pi, etc).

This may result in it not running in constrained environments (e.g. To work, it needs to load all data files, so it needs a bit of memory. See the readme file in the zip for how to configure.
