I’ve been using MAME for years, but I only tried using it for software list titles today. It isn’t working and I’m beyond frustrated right now. This is what I’ve done, does anyone see what I’ve done wrong?
- Software list roms are in their own directory which is correctly added to rompath in mame.ini. The structure is /home/xkoe/Remote/Mame/sl/<system>/<romfile>.zip.
- I have the software list datfiles in /home/xkoe/Games/Mame/.mame/hash/<system>.xml.
- I tried auditing everything via the mame ui.
I guess that’s it. My roms (main and software list) are fully up-to-date, as is MAME itself as well as the datfiles. The datfiles are for the correct set (merged). If I attempt to open a rom (mame <system> -<media> <romfile>) MAME closes with a segmentation fault. If I remove the path to the hash directory in mame.ini it doesn’t find the rom. If I give the complete filepath instead of just the romfile it opens and runs perfectly.
I’m prepared to have this be something stupid like a typo somewhere in my ini file, but so far I haven’t found anything. If anyone has any thoughts please let me know!
