I'm trying to install MAME and a frontend GUI (like gmameui), but I cannot find any guide on how to do it properly, because I know from past experience that setting everything and make it work is not that easy. I downloaded and installed the files for the MAME from , now I'm trying to find the gmameui deb package but I couldn't find anything so far. Where can I find that package? Can you link me a guide on how to set up everything on Ubuntu 14.04?
Thanks!

What you need is to install the following 2 packages:
sudo apt-get install mame mame-toolsThat will do it.
what you want is gnome-video-arcade. Also, there are a few steps needed. In my case, my mame dir is 400G so it wont fit on ssd. I created a symlink from the mame dir on my big drive to ~/.mame. Also, there is a /etc/mame/mame.ini that needs to be edited to point to the proper directories. Once that is done, you should just run gnome-video-arcade and it will catalog your roms.
The important part is make sure that all the files are in the proper subdir in your mame directory.
Hope that helps.
