Even wrote up a little addition to the FAQ covering this. Here you go: 1. Renumber sections 3.27 through 3.31 as 3.29 through 3.33 2. Add section 3.27 as follows: ------------------------------------------------------- 3.27 Why does xmame freeze and lock up when I hit <ESC> to exit the game or P to pause the game? There appears to be a bug in the "timer based audio" code that xmame/oss uses on at least one motherboard that we are aware of. Specifically, the ATX 845Pro (Intel Pentium 4 processor) with an integrated i810 soundchip. To get around this bug use EsounD (Enlightened Sound Daemon), found as esd with Gnome distributions, instead of the oss sound drivers. Compile ESOUND support into the xmame executable by uncommenting the appropriate line in makefile.unix. Tell xmame to use esound by specifying "esound" on the "dsp-plugin" line in xmamerc, or use the -dp command line parameter to select esound. Also see section 3.28 below. --------------------------------------------------------- 3. Add section 3.28 as follows: --------------------------------------------------------- 3.28 Why does xmame report "can't resolve host name '/dev/dsp' when trying to use esound? Remove the words "/dev/dsp" from the "audiodevice" line in xmamerc. In other words, you want to have the word "audiodevice" on a line all by itself, with no audiodevice specified. ---------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
