    XMAME is not recognizing the games.

    I've installed kxmame, xmame and xmess in my system hoping to play some cool old game, but xmame is not recognizing my game files. How can I solve this? Or at least, how can I make myself sure that it is at least verifying them?

    Thanks in advance.

    Oddly enough I just ran into something similar with Gauntlet 1 and 2 within Mythgame.

    Other games were working just fine though.

    try running
    Code:
    xmame -verifyroms
    it checks if all the roms are there. (the zip archives aren't the rom files, they contain the rom files, which in most cases are more then one rom file. so if your missing one or two you wont notice(apart from the fact that the game doesn't work)

    It is not working...

    What about the directories? kxmame is looking for them in the wrong path (/usr/lib/games/xmame).

    can you run the games from the commandline?
