View Full Version : Mythgame not naming many MAME Roms

Hi guys,

I am running the version of mythtv and mythgame from the repo and I setup the romdb database so that I could see the long game names for my MAME roms.

The problem is that many of the roms remain unnamed. I went to check the database manually for the names of the roms to see if they are there to find that they are present.

The way that I setup romdb was to download romdb-20051116-01.zip from http://www.phaze.org/romdb/ and I ran the included sql script.

I ran an in depth scan in mythgame after clearing the game data.

This resulted in many MAME roms that were named correctly but many that were not.

I was wondering if any of you have had this problem and if you were able to fix it.

Thanks!

Hi,

What do you see in your frontend log file (/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log)

But I'm not seeing any games showing up in myth game. If your only finding some games then I imagine that the roms are not in the romDB.
