Where the xmame binary resides...

Unless i've got confused (hmm, haven't looked in the source yet!), mamed is 
reading the dir_mame setting and then trying to execute <dir_mame><mame_exec> 
to produce it's game list.

I have my entire mame structure in /home/mame, EXCEPT for the binaries. Don't 
desperately know why i did it this way, i just did!

So if i'm understanding it correctly i'd need:

dir_mame = /home/mame/
dir_bin = /home/mart/bin/
mame_exec = xmame.x11

Thus, to produce it's gamelist it would execute <dir_bin><mame_exec>, and to 
actually execute a game it would do "<dir_bin><mame_exec> --rompath 
<dir_mame>/roms"

I think!

:O)

Let me know if i've just got it wrong.

I have a related point, but that's xmame general related so i'll post it 
seperately...
