Why doesn't my rom work on linux?

LOL, I didn't see the thread just below "Basic Lubuntu with Wah!Cade Tutorial".

Gonna read that.

Anyways; Could you please test with bubble bobble? (bublbobl.zip, bublbob1.zip, bublbob2.zip)

General_Faliure:
The Bubble bobble games work fine on my system, only one clone fails to work.
Lubuntu is with the LXDE desktop wich is much lighter then KDE or Gnome, here: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=lubuntu is the distrowatch page.
You can also install fluxbox on Lubuntu (i haven't tried it yet, i am satisfied with LXDE) wich is even lighter yet, but also a bit less user friendly.
You can also check out Sairuks Mah!cade, wich is a fork of Wah!cade, it's more actively developed.
Here is the home page: http://www.mameau.com/index.php?d=mahcade
On the Wah!ki page you will find documentation and a lot of artwork.

Have fun.

nordemoniac:
Thanks for the info!

Regarding BubbleBobble;
Sorry, clone? What's different?
I have these three rome, and all of them give an error in Windows mame (mamedev), just a warning that there are known errors.

General_Faliure:
A clone is usually a game made to work on other hardware, (like donkey kong on scramble hardware).
You are usually required to have the original (parent) as well.

Ansa89:
Me too, I have problems running BubbleBobble (bublbobl) on slackware 13.37 64bit with mame 0144u6 (+ hiscore patch + groovymame patch).
As frontend I use advancemenu 2.5.0.

As soon as I can, I will attach the output of "groovymame64 bublbobl -v -md 4".
