Post subject: | MythGame - Not Finding Mame ROMS |
I've have not been able to get MythGame to find any of my MAME ROMS. Running 'xmame -sc' shows that the rom path is set to '/usr/local/share/xmame/roms' and this is where my rom files are. Running 'xmame xmen' loads x-men just fine. In Myth I've set my MAME ROM path to be '/usr/local/share/xmame/roms'. All of my roms have lowercase only names, and have have owner and group set to 'mythtv' (my myth username). What am I doing wrong? |

Post subject: | I need a clue???? |
I have searched like crazy, put a catver.ini file in place. Seen references to xmame.SDL, seend mention of the history file built from the command line causing it, and I just cannot figue out what I need to do. I have some 3600+ MAME Roms in /myth/games/xmame/roms and some 200 SNES roms in /myth/games/snes/roms. It finds the snes ones but it never processes and of the MAME ones. I am also having trouble getting DIVX AVI files to play n the video application. I am able to load them in and get neat front covers for them but nothing happens when I try to play them. Similiar results happen when I try to play a DVD. I sure hope Release 5 will be out soon.... Thanks for the great work. Clean interface and neat features. If there's anything I can do, just let me know. |

If I remember correctly the key is to remove history in the Setup->Game Settings. As for the video files, I cannot state what the problem maybe, perhaps updating ffmpeg which is capable of decoding various formats. After this I'd suggest a recompile of MPlayer. Please note that due to legal issues I've hobbled ffmpeg and mplayer that are including w/ KnoppMyth and will continue to do so in future releases. I do however include the source and you can always get the latest online... |

mplayer is all setup to play divx, you just need to change the command line for .avi files in setup > video > file associations: /usr/local/bin/mplayer -fs -zoom -vc odivx %s the key is the -vc odivx, which tells mplayer to use the divx codec |

I am having the same problem of mame not finding roms. I searched the archives and nothing helped. Also, if I try to run xmame from the cli, I get an error "Could not open display". Any new thoughts? |
