I am > using Version 0.35 (SVN r3527). Oops -- that the executable's input field is 'locked' in that case is actually a bug! Thanks the report! I've fixed it in SVN r3621. For the time being, please correct the ExecutableFile setting manually in qmc2.ini: $ grep "FilesAndDirectories\\\ExecutableFile" ~/.qmc2/qmc2.ini FilesAndDirectories\ExecutableFile=/home/rene/src/mame0145u4/mame64 FilesAndDirectories\ExecutableFile=/home/rene/src/mess-svn/mess64 You can also just remove the respective line from qmc2.ini and you'll be re- asked for all required settings. Which MAME version are you trying to use, BTW? Note that MAME versions newer than 0.145 (0.145uX) also require QMC2 > 0.35 (0.36 SVN)! There have been a number of -listxml changes lately that are otherwise interpreted incorrectly. However, that shouldn't be the cause of your problem. HTH, René |
