There actually seems to be a bit of a problem in the interaction with the system when it launches mame.
If I run this: import os def run_mame_selection(selection): os.system("C:\\mame096b\\mame.exe"+ selection) #main selection = " tnzs" run_mame_selection(selection) raw_input() mame reports files missing, but I can launch the game manually- I suspect that this is some sort of error that occurs normally but is bypassed on launch and that my one-shot attempt to launch the thing cannot handle. I think I need to have a wee look at subprocess! ta Max --- Danny Yoo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Also, does this work? > > > > ###### > > def run_packman(): > > os.system("C:\\mame096b\\mame.exe packman") > ^^^^^^^ > > Gaaa.
