Also the rpm you loaded with the roms probably only contained gridlee,polyplay and robby. These games can legally be spread around without infrigning on copyright... If you started xmame without a name, the default config tries to run pacman. Do you have the required roms for it? you specify the game you want on the commandline as follows: xmame -rompath <yourromdirectory> <gamename> xmame --list gives you the list of supported games that can be used as <gamename>. Try 'xmame gridlee' for instance assuming that the rpm have installed the roms in the default rompath. rgds David -- openMSX - the open source MSX emulator that aims for perfection http://openmsx.sf.net/ _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
