Re: [Freevo-users] Having trouble getting games working.

Well i run xmame like this

DIR_GAMES = [ ('MAME', '/media/games/roms',
('MAME', '/usr/bin/xmame.x11', '' , 
 '/media/games/mameshots', [ 'zip' ] )) ]

When freevo starts for the first time setup.py will look for mame
or snes and puts the location of the binary in freevo.conf. Not sure
if it will detect stella.sdl ? So you maybe have to add it manually in
freevo.conf. It that doesn't work try to _fake_ it and use
xmame = /usr/bin/xmame.x11 in freevo.conf. Not sure if this is gonna
work and can't verify cause my hard drive crashed. ;-) Or search and
hunt down the code where the game detecting is done modify it and send
in a patch.

When a game is detected in freevo.conf it will give you the games menu
item. And as an last resort if that doesn't work try removing the
freevo cache files in /var/cache/freevo. Had to this myself otherwise
freevo didn't cache the rom file list. Essentially this is something
where some improvement can be done. Caching is very helpful but it
sometimes break things.

Scenario as follows:

* user sets up freevo. - caching is done
* user decides to add games - caching has already taken place and freevo
  doesn't bother anymore to generate a rom file list.

 My problem is that I can't figure out to get the games menu to show up.

 Firstly, where is the games menu supposed to be?  Is it shown on the main
 menu with Movies and Music?

 I think I figured out how to configure DIR_GAMES:

 DIR_GAMES = [ ('Atari 2600', '/data/videogame-roms/atari/',
  ('GENERIC',
 '/home/maccroz/downloads/stella/stella.sdl',
   '-fullscreen 1', '', [ 'bin' ])) ]

 It does not flag any errors.

 I have several ROMS in my atari folder, yet I don't see any games menu.

 Is there anything else I need to do to get games to work such as activating
 a plugin?

 Thanks Again!

 Note:  Someone suggested I try '.bin' instead of 'bin'.  That did not seem
 to work.

This is a side question: can you play games if you run from the fbdev? I
use mga and not x11 of any sort.
