Don't take offense, but the most probable cause of MAME DIR_GAMES errors is just that; You've entered the wrong path and/or misspelled it.
I did it, and spent the most part of a week hunting down false ends, when I fainally discovered that I had put the roms one directory down from the one I entered in DIR_GAMES. /Peter -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Paul Cowper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 1 oktober 2003 12:26 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ämne: RE: [Freevo-users] Mame Problems?? Also Some help with CVS Please I Basicly copied the DIR_GAMES from the docs, and changed the paths acordingly to point to the games. All the ROMS are in ZIP format. And yes Freevo detected xmame.x11 - (I need to get sdl at some point so I can play fullscreen, as for some reason mame wont go fs with x11) I am wondering if it could be that (with suse as usual) freevo is looking in a directory for the romlist but suse being a bugger has put it someware else!! But if mame can find it why cant freevo!! -----Original Message----- From: Peter Svensson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 October 2003 11:05 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' What does your DIR_GAMES look like? Also, has freevo found mame/xmame? How does your frevoo.conf look like? /Peter -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Paul Cowper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 1 oktober 2003 11:36 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ämne: [Freevo-users] Mame Problems?? Also Some help with CVS Please Ok I cant seem to get Freevo to work with MAME. I have put my roms in the right place, as mame can see them, but Freevo reports that it cant find the rom list!! Also with CVS Once I have downloaded the snapshot. I am assuming I do the following Install the (non cvs) runtime Extract the cvs tar to /usr/local/freevo Do I have to compile anything? Do I need to have an older version of freevo in there already? Then I run freevo. Are there any configs I need to do? Also when I try and update the cvs all I get is Cannot find CVS1 Thx Paul -----Original Message----- From: Paul Cowper Sent: 30 September 2003 09:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thx for that I will try. Another question. Once I have downloaded the snapshot.

Try this: /usr/bin/env python -c "import xml.utils" It's possible that you have multiple Python versions; if Freevo is using one, but the module is available for the other, you could run into trouble.
