Description (last modified by mascguy (Christopher Nielsen))
Presently, when launching Mame, the user is presented with several warnings:
$ mame Unable to create history.db Unable to create history.db
This is due to the default Mame configuration, which references read-only directories within the MacPorts tree.
For the next port release, we should improve on this:
- At a minimum, the port notes should mention that a custom user configuration file (.ini) will fix such issues.
- In addition, it would be helpful to provide an example user configuration file.
- And finally, it might also be worth using a default configuration, that references user-writable areas. Say, ~/Library/Application Support/Mame/
