I have been inactive now for a few years. I ended up going back to using an XP box for my arcade cabinet after having the menu crash at parties once to often.
I would like to start reporting in tracebacks and errors as I find them. Is developement still going on with Wah!Cade - Mah!Cade?
Here is my latest traceback
I received this error after doing the following:
- Fresh updated install of Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon.
- Downloaded a fresh copy of Mah!Cade from: http://www.mameau.com/mahcade/
- Opened a CLI and ran the command >> wahcade
- The version I downloaded was: wahcade.py bzr-devel "mahcade"
Twitter Support Disabled, install tweepy (pip install tweepy)
First run, Wah!Cade setting user config profile in: /home/battlecat/.wahcade
Restart after configuring (run wahcade-setup or see the README file).
I then ignored this of course like most users and ran in the CLI >> wahcade
This time I recieved this error code.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "wahcade.py", line 86, in <module>

for line in file(filename, 'rb'):

I realize that I did not setup any of the parameters for the program. This is just an inelegant fail on behalf of the program. Perhaps it should produce a message informing the user of the need to set the program up and how to do so. Or it might just go into the setup program if it cannot detect a previously set up system?
Anyway I look at it there has to be a way to make the installation and setup process smoother.
Thanks again for your hard work!
