Title: help wahcade fails to start
Post by: govee on August 19, 2007, 03:30:34 pm

I posted this over on the Wahcade forum as well, bu thought someone here might know something.

I am running ubuntu 7.04 and have sdlmame loaded and it is operating correctly. I loaded the .deb and I can run the setup and filter the games, but when I launch wahcade it fails to start. I have copied the items that show up on the terminal below. any help would be appreciated. I am a Linux nebbie but I am learning something new every minute it seems.

andy@andy-tester:~$ wahcade -w
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "wahcade.py", line 67, in <module>
app = WinMain(options)

The below message was left by balki on th wahcade forum.



"Hmmm - you might have an empty filter file (.ftr) in ~/.wahcade/files.

Try clearing the contents and run wahcade again: Code:
rm ~/.wahcade/files/*


Wahcade should recreate the initial filter when it runs...

Cheers,

Andy"
