DragonKing Bug

[Lilwolf]

I didn't see any other threads..  

I get an error "76" path not found.

should be easy... but I can't see it...

mame in d:\emul\mame... all default directories under it (all roms in roms)

so my dirs.ini is

---------------------
[Dirs]
***Enter all your rom paths... Just like you do in a mame.ini

roms=d:\emul\mame\roms\


***Put These in as a base folder.  I.E. If your snaps are in e:\mame\snap\ then the entry should be:
***e:\mame\

Primary Artwork Dir=d:\emul\mame\
Additional AW Dirs=d:\emul\mame2\

***The alternate elements allow you to have two more artwork elements besides the usual.
***Simply put the name of the sub folder (like "\controls\").
***Note:  Skins must have an alt-element slot defined for this to work.  

AltElement1=\cpanels\
AltElement2=\misc\

Any clue??  any other file I should be looking at?

I have the exact same problem - I emailed HC about it and he said it was probably because my folders are read-only.  Though if anyone in the world knows of a way to uncheck 'read-only' from the attributes of a folder in win xp and have it STAY that way...you win a cookie!

I found THIS THREAD to be somewhat informative on the matter.  Although, no solution.

Additional AW Dirs=d:\emul\mame2\

I think it is just that line. Personaly, I've just put nothing after "=" and it is ok.

yeah... we are looking into it but it's your folder properties....

Dragon King can't be installed on a compressed drive or a drive with any folder funny business on it.  I'm looking into it but it appears to be a bug in xp itself.  Have no clue what causes it.
