SAXParseException: /usr/bin/xmame --listxml:1:0: syntax error
---------------------------------------------------------
This error is caused by the way mame_cache.py calls 'xmame --listxml'.
Os.popen is being used and it captures all output from xmame, including the
general information it prints before spitting out the XML data. The way to fix
this is to first call 'os.system( mamecmd + '--listxml -out
/tmp/somefilename')' then use 'listinfo = os.popen( 'cat /tmp/somefilename',
'r')' to read it.
I have tested this solution and it works. The only issue is if the temp file
already exists.
