Hi. I've found what happened... more or less. First, the freevo user has full access to /tmp, but /tmp/roms simply never exists. And /tmp is never full either. Second, I don't start mame with /usr/bin/xmame.x11 or similar. I have my own script to call it, located in /home/freevo/bin/mame. Inside I call xmame.x11, of course, but I do it like this so that I can add more options, and other things I need to do before and after playing a game. It's the same that I have in freevo-1.6.2 with no problem. What happens then? As I said, I have two freevo in the same box. At first, I was sharing the cache. But everytime I boot one after the other, the cache was recreated. I guess the system must be different. So I decided to use different cache directories. And then mame started crashing. The first time mame is run, it creates a cache, not of the roms you have, but the ones it can use. Under freevo-1.6.2 and the script, there is no problem, the cache can be built. But under 1.7.3, it crashes. If I use the same cache directory for both freevos, no problem, the mame cache from 1.6.2 works for 1.7.2 and mame runs. So 1.7.2 can run mame with my script, but can't build the cache. I thing it has do with something about that freevo can't find the config files of my script (there aren't!) and that's why it crashes. If you thing this is a serious bug, I can reproduce it whenever I want and I can give you more info, if you need it.
