[mythtv-users] Myth Game issue????

Problem is that the version of Pacman you are running needs some rom
files that aren't found in the pacman.zip file.

As mame is updated occasionally the format of rom filenames or rom
files changes. I'm assuming you took images from your pacman romchips
and named them as per the guidelines that I assume are present at
http://www.mame.net and zipped them up, etc?

If not, well lets just say the rom files you are using may not be up
to date for the latest version of mame. You can usually do one of 3
things.

Find rom files that have been updated for the current version of mame.

Try running a clone version of pacman like: xmame puckman, or xmame
pman. I think xmame can list valid game names, though most of my
experience is with mame/32 (win).

Problem isn't that xmame isn't finding your roms, it's that it's
finding your rom .zip file, but not all the roms are in this file, or
the files are incorrectly named.

So basically if you open the pacman.zip file you should see the first
4 files, but not the last 6 needed to run the game.
