I have completed a port of the XMame 0.27.1 arcade game machine emulator
to FreeBSD.

X-Mame 0.27.1 is an emulator.  It emulates many classic coin-operated arcade
game machines, right on your FreeBSD PC.

This emulator supports over 200 arcade games, and the nunmber grows every
day!  A partial list of the (more popular and well-known) games currently
supported by this emulator include:

PacMan, Ms. PacMan, Jr. PacMan, Super PacMan, Dig Dug, Star Trek, Galaga,
Space Invaders, Tempest, Frogger, Mr. Do!, Battle Zone, Missile Command,
Asteroids, Burger Time, Centipede, Millipede, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Donkey
Kong III, Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros., Defender, Stargate, Galaxians,
Gyruss, Kangaroo, Moon Patrol, Phoenix, Q*Bert, Rally X, Robotron,
Star Wars, Zaxxon, ... you get the idea.

A tarball of the port directory is available at
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/xmame.port.tar.gz.

The original distribution file is also available at
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/xmame-0.27.1.tgz

Please download and build this port.  Give it a try!  I would appreciate
E-mail from you if you have any problems with, or comments about this port.

You will also need to somehow acquire images of the ROMs for the game(s)
you wish to play using xmame.  If you actually own one of these arcade games,
you can get them using a ROM burner; otherwise, you can download them off of
the Net.  Please see the files included in this port for instructions and
legal ramifications of doing this.

This port belongs in the "games" category.

This port requires the "Xpm" library port to be installed as well.  See
"/usr/ports/graphics/xpm".
