[mythtv-users] Difficulty getting mythgame to work with xmame

[Ellen Spertus]

I am unable to get xmame fully functional with the latest versions of
mythtv and mythgame (.13) compiled from sources; however, I am able to:
- run xmame.SDL from the command line
- scan for ROMs successfully within mythfrontend
Specifically, when I choose "Games", arrow onto the name of a game, and
press enter, space, or "m", nothing appears to happen.

Adding printfs to the code, I've found:

1. MameHandler::makecmd_line is called when I scan for ROMs but not when
I select a game

2. GameTree::keyPressEvent is called properly from the "Games" menu. 
Action values of UP, DOWN, and ESCAPE work correctly.  Nothing seems to
happen when keyPressEvent is called with an action value of SELECT.  The
relevant portion of code is:

if (action == "SELECT")
    game_tree_list->select();

That's as far into the source code that I've gotten.  Before taking the
next step and digging into uitypes.h, I thought I'd check if you have
any suggestions, for which I would be grateful.
