I don't think I can help you here...

Yes, the path to the executable, like, /usr/local/bin/xmame.x11

Yes, it recursively searches the directory... I think....

I'm assuming these are the same as above.

Nope, just make sure you have a newer catver.ini file and that MythGame 
knows where it is.

One more thing for you, that I always forget about... If you go into 
MythGame, and then select "MAME" or "NES", hit "m"... It'll bring up 
some emulator-specific options for you...

Good luck,
