Use Wah!Cade instead of advance mame with Groovy Arcade Linux

[processor]

Hi,
the default Frontend with GAL is Advance Mame.
As Wah!Cade is a little bit more advanced, I would like to use it instead of advanceMame.
I was thinking that in GAL everything was pre-configured.Unfortunately for me it's not.
The rom path is not good for instance.
Then one thing surprised me, the path to the mame emulator was set to switchres.
And none of the roms launched.
So I set the path to groovymame, and this time it worked.
But After reading a little bit about switchres I understood that it should be it that launch the game and not groovymame
directly.
So how to setup swithres to make it launch groovymame?

So,

I answer to myself: I launch groovymame via the shell, and groovymame launch switchres by itself.
So set groovymame as defaut mame bin is the good way.
Then the emu send this message:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default

And whatever the rom I launched, the choosen resolution is 640x480@60.
Is it normal, do I have these messages and resolution because I do my tests in a virtualmachine?

Hi processor,

Sorry for the late answer. The error you're seeing is probably caused by testing in a virtual machine. xrandr won't be able to access hardware and it's normal that it fails.

I'm not sure which version of GroovyArcade you're running. Anyway Switchres was used before GroovyMAME was created. GroovyMAME has the Switchres engine already built-in so you can invoke GroovyMAME directly. However, Switchres is still needed for other emulators.

I can't answer on how to setup Wah!Cade, I never used it. Anyway the latest GroovyArcade build done by VeS should include AdvanceMenu+ which has an improved interface I believe.

Don't excuse yourself for a late answer, your not even obliged to answers, so thx for your reply!
