I am trying to get snes9x working with MythGame.  Snes9x works fine
when NOT in MythGame.  However, when in Myth and I lauch a game I get
at blank black screen.  The logs show:
[mythtv at dolph ~]$ cat /usr/lib/games/snes/error.txt
MythThemedDialog.o: something is requesting a screen update of zero
size. A widget probably has not done a calculateScreeArea(). Will
redraw the whole screen (inefficient!).

Launching Game : SNES : /usr/bin/snes9x -stereo -r 6 -joydev1
/dev/input/js0 -tr -fs
[mythtv at dolph ~]$

Its odd that it works fine at the prompt, but not in Myth.  I followed
the SNES config at:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_MythGame_Emulation#SNES9x_Configuration

The only posts on Google I saw regarding these errors were from 2004
or for xmame regarding the xmamerc file.  However snes9x doesn't seem
to have an "rc" file. (that I can find documented at least)
