💖 GNOME-VIDEO-ARCADE(1) — the MAME front-end that's literally your bestie 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to section 1 of the manual, aka the place where we talk about gnome-video-arcade — a MAME front-end and honestly? she's that girl. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

gnome-video-arcade — a MAME front-end. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gnome-video-arcade [OPTION...]

like… you just run her, optionally with some options, and she does her thing. iconic. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gnome-video-arcade is a clean and simple MAME front-end for any freedesktop.org compliant desktop environment. yes, ANY. she's not picky, she's just discerning. 💅

and here's the thing — this program is targeted towards non-technical arcade enthusiasts who literally just want to easily play classic arcade games on their desktop. that's it. that's the dream. 🕹️✨

now, she may be suitable for use in custom arcade cabinets, but bestie, gnome-video-arcade is NOT designed for that purpose. so don't come for her about it. 🙈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's where we get into it. every single flag, no skips, no skimming, periodt. 💖

  • -?, --help — show help options. the classic "what do u even do" button. 🫶
  • -b, --build-database — build the games database. she's doing homework fr fr. 📚
  • -i, --inspect=NAME — inspect an emulator setting. go look at it. 👀
  • -v, --version — show the application version. the "who r u" of flags. 🌈
  • -w, --which-emulator — show which emulator will be used. the suspense?? unbearable. 🔥
  • --display — X display to use. that's the one. that's the display. ⭐
