"SDLMAME is a port of the popular MAME™. There are a few principles that guide it’s development: 1) run on Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and other SDL supported operating systems with as few changes as possible to the base Win32 code. This means we can track changes faster than larger more conventional ports such as MacMAME, and we also maintain what I call “Firefox compatibilty” where learning a major app only needs to be done once per application, and it then applies across many operating systems. If you can use the command-line Win32 MAME, you already know how to use SDLMAME on any platform you may encounter it on. 2) MAME developers are important. By keeping quickly up to date, we make it easy for people on non-Windows platforms to make and submit changes to the core MAME code, and we offer native implementations of MAME’s multi-window GUI debugger on both Linux/Unix and Mac OS X.



Note that SDLMAME is included with regular MAME as of 0.136u1. See this post for some information and read the new compiling instructions here. SDLMAME will continue to be maintained by Couriersud and myself, the packaging is just a little different now."

I've been using this a lot for poker clients that are not supported natively on Linux, and it's a lot better now too. I found a great guide on the positively nerd street blog, the post is called "how to play poker on a Mac", but it has a really good guide further down about Linux and Wine, including a work around for some rooms that don't play friendly, like party poker. There's also a decent list of native supported rooms under the online poker section. Hope this helps some of you Linux poker buffs out there.
