Problem to use zmame...
« on: May 25, 2004, 04:57:35 pm »
I try to use zmame and zmamefull but I have a big mistake...
I have put zmame and a rom file (zipped) in /mnt/cf.
I try to launch zmame, and I have missing files:

./zmame -rp . -rr arkanoi2.zip

Qtopia: using home dir:/home/zaurus for user id:500

ERROR: required files are missing, the game cannot be run.  


 :shock:  :? ...

The folders where zmame is \"trying to parse\" did not exist.
I did create this... I made the file \"xmamerc\" usw... with
touch xmamerc
but this files are empty...
I modified permission in /usr/local/lib/xmame, and now an user can write a file...
I don\'t understand...

ok... The problem seems to be roms...
with pacman, it works, but with arkanoid the files are missing...

The roms image requirements for MAME change from version to version. Some ROMs might work on an older MAME but not on the newer versions and vice versa. I kept my PC MAME ROM database up to date until 0.79 but it takes so much time and effort to keep it maintained that I\'ve given up for the moment.
