pyRetro

pyRetro is a cool, open-source app that runs on Python and uses the PyGame library. It's designed to be a fun front-end for the popular MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) project. You can easily use it to enjoy classic arcade games right from your own setup!

Easy Setup for Arcade Lovers

This app is super flexible and works best with arcade machine cabinets. You can navigate through your list of games using the arrow keys (left, right, up, down). Want to add your favorites? Just hit left ALT or C! Need to switch modes? The Space bar does the trick. And if you need to confirm any choices, just use left CTRL.

Installation Made Simple

Getting pyRetro on your Debian or Ubuntu system is a breeze! You can grab a native installer or download an all-in-one archive that contains everything you need, including source code you can tweak for your specific setup.

How to Install on GNU/Linux

If you're ready to install pyRetro, check if there's already a pre-built binary package available for your preferred Linux distribution. If not, don't worry! Just download the tarball (tar.gz) archive and save it where you like.

Once that's done, extract the files wherever you want. Open up a terminal emulator and run this command: sh runme.sh. This will get pyRetro installed on your computer in no time!

Your Ticket to Retro Gaming Fun

You can find pyRetro being used in AGES (Arcade Genuine Entertainment System), which is based on one of the most popular Linux distributions. It lets users play retro games without needing any special operating system installed on their computers.
