Hi Chris, Thanks for the post and sorry for the delay in replying. Damn work gets in the way of MythTV way too often! >Try running myth from a terminal window and then you can see the >arguments that mygame is using to run xmame.

My next big question is how does one change the options that MythTV uses for running XMame? There are a couple of obvious things in the UI which seem to link to certain options. Any idea how to do the -noperfect-yuv etc? Is there a way to specify arbitrary options to be added to the command line? >I'm also using ivtv 0.3.7h and about half of my games work fine.

Or is there some other driver that I need to be looking into? Regards Marty
