xmame.SDL works perfectly outside of Myth, but within MythGame, it doesn't launch. I have tracked the problem down to MythGame launching xmame.SDL with two options that don't seem to be supported:
-mouse (or -nomouse) -sound When I run 'mythfrontend &> myth.log' I get the following output: 2004-12-17 13:08:12 mythfrontend version: 0.16.20040906-1 www.mythtv.org 2004-12-17 13:08:12 Enabled verbose msgs : important general 2004-12-17 13:08:12 Registering Internal as a media playback plugin. 2004-12-17 13:08:12 Registering MythDVD DVD Media Handler as a media handler 2004-12-17 13:08:12 Registering MythDVD VCD Media Handler as a media handler 2004-12-17 13:08:13 Registering MythMusic Media Handler as a media handler SIP listening on IP Address 192.168.0.102:5060 NAT address 192.168.0.102 SIP: Cannot register; proxy, username or password not set 2004-12-17 13:08:13 Mediamonitor: Adding /dev/cdrom 2004-12-17 13:08:13 Starting media monitor. 2004-12-17 13:08:13 Media status changed...

When I try to run this command outside of myth, xmame complains about the -mouse and the -sound options so I would imagine this is why the games are not launching within Myth. The version of xmame I have installed is: xmame (SDL) version 0.87 (Oct 4 2004) Is there a later version that I have to get? I already tried 'apt-get install xmame' and it says I have the latest version. Or perhaps I need an older version of xmame that supports -mouse and -sound?!? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
