Bug Description
Binary package hint: mame
/etc/mame/mame.ini contains paths pointing to the user's home directory for many settings, but not for the inipath, which tells mame where to find its .ini files. This is a pity, as it prevents the user from changing important graphics settings in ~/.mame.
Please can this be fixed?
It's a simple matter of changing the line in /etc/mame/mame.ini that currently reads
inipath /etc/mame
to
inipath $HOME/.

Mame is not part of the default Ubuntu install and this is not something the average user would encounter, hence this can not be addressed as part of the Paper Cuts project.
For the paper cut criteria, please look at: https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/PaperCut
But don’t worry, I am only removing the Paper Cuts project. The bug will still be here for the mame project.
