Pi2 beta 8, Mame4All-Pi will not install

gamerdad09

I just received my pi 2 and put the .8 beta image on a new Micro SD card. It booted to PiPlay and I chose to install Mame from the menu. After downloading the file it throws a error:

mkdir: cannot create directory '/home/pi/pimame/emulators/mame4all-pi/': File exists
cp: cannot stat 'mame4all-pi/mame4all_pi.zip': No such file or directory
unzip: cannot find or open mame4all_pi.zip
Updating PiPlay Database
All Finished!

I did startx and went into Raspbian. The Zip file is downloaded in home/pi/pimame and I can open it and extract the files. Unfortunately something is amiss with the mame4all-pi directory. I can not put any files in there manually. It keeps throwing a permissions error. I've tried deleting the folder and re-running the Python install, but that results in the exact same error above.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm starting over from scratch just to be safe.

Formatted the card and re-imaged it.

I connected my Pi to the network and started the Mame install again.

I'm getting the exact same errors when it gets to the Mame4all-pi part of the installation.

Thanks @Billgod, I tried that already. However I just retried and removed all the ^M in his script and it seems to have worked.

Howdy, Stranger!
