I've tried with a blank field and with "zip" both ways it finds the
roms, but doesn't populate the database.
I have a MAME, SNES and a NES. all were existing before the update to
the new mythgame. I've tried creating a new xmame emulator listing,
but it didn't have any effect.
The output to the terminal is line after line of:
Found Rom : pacman.zip
Found Rom : gauntlet.zip
....
nothing special before or after the list of found roms.
here is the sql dump, I hope i did it correctly. it contains both
gamemetadata and gameplayers tables.

another thing i noticed on the mac version, when scanning for games
the progress bar comes up with osme text above it that tells you what
type of roms are currently being scanned. I don't see this text on my
FC3 system. I get the progress bar which sticks at %50, flickers(like
a full screen redraw), then finishes. and both versions take a few
seconds to switch after you select Games Settings button on the Media
Settings page. Much longer than say changing from the Setup page to
the Media Settings Page. I'm not sure why this is.
hope this helps
