[SOLVED] sdlmame won't recognize 7-zip files

Hi,
I am trying to use sdlmame to play files compressed with 7-zip. But when I run sdlmame it reports that no games were found (mame.ini is pointing to the correct directory). I checked on mamedev and 7-zip archives are supported since MAME 0.145u1.
I have sdlmame 0.156.u0-1 installed. I am hoping someone can point out what I need to do for sdlmame to recognize 7-zip files. If I need to re-compile it and with what config? Thanks for any pointers!
Edit [Solved]: The issue was the directory name contained a space, I created a symlink to point to the game directory and specified the symlink in the mame.ini file. Sdlmame instantly recognized all the game files!

[myth@mythbox ~]$ file 19xx.7z
19xx.7z: 7-zip archive data, version 0.3
The files work fine in windows with MAME. I can extract the archive as well without issue. One thing I haven't tried is extracting and re-creating the archive with 7-zip, I wanted to see if I missed a simple step before carrying that out.

    now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...

    That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
    You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
    Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
    Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

  • Bridge 'get photos from camera' stopped working and Bridge won't recognize my DNG files anymore

    So, I've got Bridge set up to get pictures from mem.card whenever I insert one in my laptop (win. 8.1). A week ago I installed Sony's PlayMemories. Without asking me it hijacked Bridge's task of getting pictures from my cards. What's worse, I tried to fire the 'get photos from camera' function manually from Bridge. Bridge starts working, but nothing happens. I uninstalled PlayMemories and reset Bridge, also told my laptop to run Bridge whenever I insert a card. Still nothing happens and I still can't get the 'get photos' function to run manually from Bridge. Anyway, I can still rund the DNG converter to get my pictures, but today Bridge won't recognize my DNG files - worked fine yesterday. I downloaded CS6 from this link https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html  and tried to run the installer, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I need to do a full uninstall off CS6 for it to do anything..?  Anyway, if any of you guys could help me with my Bridge/CS6 issues I'd be grateful.  I've got 3 sets of concert photos and a snowboard comp. shoot I need to finish this week

  • Why won't my mac won't unzip downloaded zip files anymore?

    ive been using my mac to unzip zip arhcive files ive downloaded from the internet and for the past few months ive had to troubles at all. but more recently my mac wouldnt actuallty zip the files. so i started using a free application in the app store called stuffit expander. but now even stuffit expander wont unzip my files. what is happening? the stuffit expander just says it is unable to recognize the file type which makes no sense, and when i use the default unzip application already on my mac it just turns the zip file into a file with the extension .cpgz

    Solved
    All you need to do is go to:     ~/Library/Preferences/  (⇧⌘G)
    find and delete this plist:  com.apple.archiveutility.plist
    Restart your mac.
    Try any zip, Enjoy!    
    P.S. Dont worry, system will generate new working plist as well

  • DVD Studio Pro 1.5 Won't Recognize Any Video Files

    Hello, everyone! I guess this might be a little prehistoric, but I really need help. I have the dinosaur, DVD Studio Pro 1.5, and for some reason it won't recognize any .m2v's, .mpeg's, or anything else. As I understand it, DVD Studio Pro 1.5 will only take MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files, but whenever I use them, it says, "Error: Unknown File Type," in the Log.
    Can someone help me? Perhaps there is a way to make it accept more than just MPEG-1 & 2?
    Thanks so much!

    Well, I used the requirements for Widescreen NTSC in BitVice. The requirements are given in the DVD Studio Pro 1.5 manual. However, when I went to drag the file into DVD Studio Pro 1.5, the log came up and said: ERROR: 480 is not the proper height for a PAL file.
    So, I knew that it must only want PAL files.
    Another problem:
    To apply videos for a Motion Menu, I am supposed to click on the menu in the Graphical View, and go to "Asset" under "Picture," and select the video I want. The problem is, it won't show ANY .m2v's in the Asset drop box. It will show my Photoshop files, though. And, I'm sorry to say that those files you offered me didn't work either. (They didn't show up under the Asset drop box.)
    [Thanks so much, by the way! They had NO trouble importing to DVD Studio Pro!]
    Here's a picture of my computer and the missing files in the "Assets" drop box.

  • Firefox won't download a zip file

    There is a chat board that I belong to and they posted a zip file. It looks like a white piece of paper with a folded over corner and says zip on it. When I put my cursor over it, it kind of blows up and then says at the bottom the file name then file.Zip 260K, but I can't click on it to get it to download, save, open, reject, nothing.
    I believe I have downloaded zip files in past but for some reason can't download this one.
    Can someone help please.

    Are there other similar downloads on the site that do work, such as images, Word documents, etc., or are they all broken the same way?
    I wasn't familiar with the ModPlugin extension. Does it operate on the site that has the problem? If so, could you test with the extension disabled? You can do that by restarting in Firefox's Safe Mode, or manually on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions.
    If that extension is not relevant to the site that has the problem, or if the problem continues after disabling it, can you provide a link to the site so someone could check it out?

  • ITunes 7.3 won't recognize some mp3 files

    I'm using iTunes 7.3 on a dual-G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.10. After upgrading, I noticed that some tracks were missing from my iTunes Library, even though they are in the iTunes Music folder. When I tried to reimport these files (by dragging them from the Finder the iTunes Library), nothing happened.
    Special notes: My iTunes Music folder is not in Users/Me/Music; it's on a second local hard drive. Also, I'm not entirely certain that this problem started after upgrading to iTunes 7.3; it could have happened under an earlier version and I just didn't notice.
    Investigating a little bit further, I discovered that the problematic files were all MP3 format, at least as far as I can tell. I checked them out in Media Rage (trial download) and found that their ID3 tags were empty. Now, let me point out that these were files that I ripped myself from CD, probably several years ago since I have used AAC for my more recent rips. I do know that these files and their ID3 tags worked fine and within the last year or so, which means that somewhere along the line iTunes destroyed the ID3 tags and stopped recognizing these files.
    I confirmed that these files can play properly in QuickTime player. I also tried adding the ID3 tags back in using Media Rage (and ID3 v2.3.0), but iTunes still will not recognize them.
    I also tried completely reinstalling iTunes, by deleting Applications/iTunes, Users/Me/Music/iTunes, and all the Users/Me/Library/Preferences plists associated with iTunes, and then downloading iTunes from www.apple.com, but this didn't solve the problem either.

    I've had these songs in itunes & on my ipod before for awhile & they played just fine. I upgraded itunes & everything seemed fine, until I auto synced my ipod & I get this message saying that five files aren't copied to the ipod because the ipod won't play them. Then I try to play them in itunes & itunes won't play them, even though they show up in the library & are MP3s. Quicktime player & VLC both play these files still...
    I have no idea what could cause the error for these random 5 songs, which are not related to each other & come off the same CDs as other songs which are still able to be played...

  • IDVD won't recognize any QuickTime files...

    Suddenly iDVD doesn't recognize any of the files I had created previous DVDs with, nor is it recognizing new .mov files I have created. QuickTime, FCP, and DVD Studio Pro all still recognize and use the .mov files.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    I have deleted iDVD and reinstalled, but the problem persists...
    Any help out there?

    Okay, I got on under my troubleshooting account, in which I've never even opened any of the iLife apps, populate the iPhoto library with some images off a memory stick, ditto for iTunes, and 2 of the Quicktime Movies that won't work under my regular account.
    Created a brand new iPhoto slideshow and exported it through the 'share with iDVD' option as before. At the end of the slideshow export, I got an error message from iDVD saying that there were issues with the build and the movie was not a valid one, something like "it is not a movie". But, there it is, sitting in my Movies Folder as a Quicktime Movie AND I can play it with Quicktime.
    So I try to do a new iDVD. Select the Revolution Template, drag in images from the iDVD media browser Photos, drag in music from the iDVD media browser Audio. All okay. Then I do the 'add a movie' choice, and drag the Quicktime Movie into the iDVD menu as before, and as before, it cannot 'find' it. I use the 'find file' again, and there it is, right where iDVD cannot see it. I select and open it, but iDVD responds by moving that 'find' to the bottom of the list and I'm caught in a gerbil wheel of 'finding' files that are right in front of me in the Finder, but can't be seen by iDVD.
    I also restored all preferences from my last Time Machine save for iDVD, iPhoto, and the Media Browser. Tried it all again. No luck.
    Any ideas?

  • Gracenote CDDB Won't Recognize Backed-up Files

    I backed-up my Purchased Music to DVDs, then removed them from my hard drive. When I tried to import them from the DVDs back to the hard drive, Gracenote CDDB wouldn't recognize them. Any ideas so I don't have to manually enter this info?

    Matthew is correct where regular Audio discs that you buy in stores are concerned.
    The reason CDDB won't find any information on your disc is because you burned a Data disc and not an Audio disc. CDDB does not recoginze Data discs. But since you already had all your ID3 tags customized in the files when you burned them to Data DVD all you have to do is use the Add To Library command in the File menu and iTunes will read the ID3 tag information.
    Also, when working with music that is already in a "lossy" format you cannot use the Import command, only the Add To Library command. This also goes for AIFF or WAV files that you have on your Hard Drive that you want to put into iTunes.

  • ITunes Won'r Recognize Some MP3 Files

    I have 2400+ MP3 files in My Music folder. All were ripped using the same DVD-+RW drive, same software (WMP 10.0) and same settings (192Kbps). All were ripped within several days of each other, all from purchased CD albums.
    When I tried to add these files to my brand new iTunes library (in order to transfer to my brand new 5G iPod) iTunes only recognized 1802 files. I attempted to manually add the files that weren't recognized, no joy (no error messages either, nothing). I researched the issue; I made sure the file folder permissions were appropriately set; I scanned the hard drive for physical defects; I defragmented the drive; I ran several ID3 tag verifier utilities; I played the "problem" MP3 files on every other music player software I own (WMP 10.0, RealPlayer, MusicMatch) and they played flawlessly. Lastly, I attempted to re-rip the files directly to iTunes from the original CDs; that worked, so I can safely assume there are no copyright or protected-file issues to deal with.
    Short of re-ripping 600+ music files to iTunes manually, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to get these files onto iTunes?

  • Final Cut Express HD won't recognize .mov / quicktime files.

    I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch with FCE3 installed. I'm using OSX 10.6.6. My camera doesn't put video out through a firewire, only usb, meaning FCE can't recognize it (to the best of my knowledge). So, to get around that, I uploaded the video through iLife '11 and converted all my video into one long .mov/quicktime file. When I try to import the video, I get a "file error" message.
    Any tips on how I can get the video form iMovie to FCE? If it means not using quicktime, I'm fine with that, too.
    Thanks!

    Well, to repsond to Ian, I don't have FCE4. I have FCE3. I'll upgrade eventually, though.
    And I have a Cannon FS20. I did what you said in the quicktime player. Here's the format:
    "H.264, 960 x 540, Millions Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 44100 Hz."
    The video plays fine in iMovie '11. I even tried the "share with Final Cut" tab in iMovie, but the video still wouldn't work in FCE3.
    But I might add that it's not just the video from my camera that doesn't work in FCE3. It's all quicktime video. Even video that worked in FCE3 on my old Powerbook G4 now don't work in the same in FCE3 for my MacBook Pro.

  • ITunes 7.4 won't recognize my library files

    I have creative suite Design 5 premium and when I click on an Indesign file within Windows XP in My documents, it won't find the program to open the document. IF i open a file directly from the in design software, opens up fine. I've checked file types, In Design 5 is the default, anyone came across this?

    Sounds like you had an earlier version installed and uninstalled it after installing CS5. Easiest fix is to reinstall CS5.

    Well, cdrtools did solve my problem with multisession disks, and according to Wiki it's a first thing to try if you have problems with cd/dvd burning.
    Note: If you face any issues with cdrkit, it is recommended to install cdrtools from the AUR (cdrkit is a fork of cdrtools). cdrtools is being actively developed and supports CD, DVD and BluRay burning along with complete CDRWIN cue/bin support. cdrtools does not depend on cdrdao.
    Though there is no guarantee it'll actually solve your problem, I think you should try it.

Maybe you are looking for
