[Xmame] Romset update to 0.62 and romalizer weirdnesses

2002-11-21 Thread Matthias Saou
Hi, I've been toying around with romalizer to update my romset for 0.62. I've now got a complete romset, I probably just need to remove obsolete zip files etc now. But (as yes, there is a but ;-)), I've got two strange things persisting with romzalizer : With spacecho : When using xmame with

Hmm, did I miss the .62 sources somewhere along the line ? I;ve been trying to verify the romset using the xmame.x11 binary that was made available, but with little success. The binary as downloaded apears to be ELF branded as SYSV - I am assuming it's actually a Linux binary so I rebranded it as

You can try to build it yourself though. Simply untar the xmame 0.61 sources, unzip the official winmame 0.62 sources over it, execute make -f makefile.unix and try to correct compilation errors if there are any. O.K., might give that a shot then. I wish I'd found this out *before* doing the

I could also make available the WIP xmame-0.62.1 sources, which work for verification. If you want to play anything, you have to specify -norotate and hope that the game has a vertical orientation. ;-) That would be very useful if you could - at the moment I am just doing verifications to

To determine if your video card supports the Xv extension, you may use this command: xdpyinfo | grep XVideo If it returns the word XVideo on a line by itself, then the Xv extension is supported on your machine. This is wrong! xdpyinfo shows loaded modules, and the sole fact that Xv is
