Bug Description

In the Wah!Cade Setup dialog, The Emulators / List Generation / Rom Directory does not properly support multiple ROM directories (though MAME does).

If you put multiple, semi-colon separated (the format used in mame.ini) directories in the "Rom Directory" field, list generation on the "M.A.M.E. Only" tab will fail with an error such as "Error: rom path: [/arcane/emu/roms/arcade;/arcane/emu/images/arcade] does not exist".

This causes problems in that can you not generate a complete list if you keep your CHD's in a different path than your ROMS. The path appears to be the same one passed to the emulator (so maybe having it under List Generation and not Application Parameters is a bit of a misnomer) because the emulator (SDLMAME, in my case) cannot find any ROM/CHD residing in directories not included in this path.

Thanks Andy. That's the only remaining item I can find to give me any trouble with Wah!Cade.

I would imagine with more CHD and LD games being supported (and people using multiple drives as a consequence), others might begin running into this more frequently.
