Description Richard Smith 2003-09-21 17:31:01 UTC 
1. Running xmame with the option "-ctrlr HotRodSE" has no effect.  The controls
remain as per the defaults and do not change to the hotrod controls.

2. It is possible to reconfigure the controls within xmame, but after quitting
the changes are not saved, and next time xmame is run it reverts to the default
controls again.
Comment 1 Richard Smith 2003-09-21 17:32:29 UTC 
The reason for problem (1) is that the directory xmame-0.74.1/ctrlr/ is not being copied to /usr/share/games/xmame/ctrlr during installation.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-09-22 09:00:19 UTC 
(1) is fixed in cvs ... odd that the makefile itself didnt copy the dir ...

as for (2), what happens if you run xmame as root and/or give g+w to the ctrlr directory ?
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-10-13 15:19:36 UTC 
well re-open when you've looked into the permissions ...
