I built xmame-0.92 and it worked fine outside of MythTV, but some
default flag was causing a problem in MythTV. I downgraded to
xmame-0.88 and now it's working with 0.17

I would recommend that you first get emulators working outside of
MythTV, set up their default dotfiles to do everything you want like
fullscreen, etc. and then start looking at using them in MythTV

The other emulators aren't nearly as finicky about versions - just
enter any desired command line flags into the emulator options screen.
