MAME
,→Negatron
On some Linux distros, you have '''gnome-video-arcade''' package: Simple MAME frontend. Available on Ubuntu 16.04+ on official repo.
===Negatron===
[http://www.babelsoft.net/products/negatron.htm Negatron's download page on official site of BabelSoft]. An [https://github.com/xinyingho/Negatron intuitive and info-oriented front-end] for MAME; & a prettier derivative of ageing MAME32/MAMEUI.
:<u>Prequisites:</u>
:- Java runtime environment (JRE); at least Java version 8 update 60, or newer.
:- [http://www.babelsoft.net/products/negamame.htm NegaMAME] strongly recommended if using MAME v0.186 (May 2017) or newer, as normal MAME builds block some info access on systems to 3rd-party frontends.
:- While not mandatory, Negatron also needs VLC media player 2.2.0 or newer on your computer in order to play video previews. VLC & JRE's bitness must match (eg. 32-bit or 64-bit).
