After merging xmame and grustibus, I'm able to easily load roms that I've downloaded myself, however, after specifying correct download locations in Grustibus preferences, it complains that it can't find GTM and says, "have you installed GTM?"

Which I have. I've also reemerged Grustibus afterwards incase it needs building against any headers GTM might install. To no avail. The roms are definitely at the location I've specified (verified with wget), but it just doesn't get past the GTM stage.

Any clues anybody?

I've since downloaded erm... 2.5 Gigabytes of ROMS so don't seem to need the download facility anymore. I think I've got 'em all! ;-)

I've never been a big gameplayer on PCs (as an ...ahem... grown-up ;-)) but there's a great nostalgia factor attached to all these arcade games I used to play as a kid on holiday & at fairgrounds in the 1980s.

I remember playing Crazy Climber in the late 70s as a 8 or 9 year old. It was just *so* weird seeing that game again. Naturally, the ROMS are deleted within hours due to copyright reasons. :P
