Hi all,

I'm trying desperatly to get Xmame working, I have some 0.86 roms and
have xmame 0.86 installed. When I cd to my rom directory and do a

# xmame robowrb.zip

I get the following output

What gives? The rom is a 0.86 rom, I can't understand what the problem is

Thanks in advance.

It was a new rom actually, but I've managed to work it out regardless. For some
reason, it wouldn't work properly when I changed the rom dir in gxmame
(compiled from source due to someones recommendation), but I did a :-

# make uninstall
# rm -dfR /home/mark/.gxmame/
# make install

....and put the roms in the default folder (/usr/lib/games/xmame/roms), and now
it seems to work fine. Just need to get a decent set of roms now.
