Needed to do "sudo apt-get update" first. At the end of install.sh, got error: "mv: cannot move `gridlee.zip' to `/home/pi/roms/gridlee.zip': No such file or directory". It saved the gridlee.zip file in the "pimame_installer" directory. The /home/pi/roms directory exists but is empty.
When running advmenu, get error: Error in 'advmame' opening roms directory '/home/pi/.advance/rom'.
I then tried running the update script, mainly " Already upto date" messages. Same issue with advmenu.
Running update on Pimame 0.6 beta 5 premade image: --------------------------------------------- git is already installed. Update worked ok with no errors and reported now at 0.6 beta 6. Advmenu/advmame works ok but I don't think they've changed between beta 5 and 6?
So certainly looks good for having a working update system.
If I'm brave, I might try it tomorrow on a 0.6 beta5 card I have with my own configuration changes, to check the changes are not lost between updates.
I was able to fix the "Error in 'advmame' opening roms directory '/home/pi/.advance/rom'" issue in advmame.rc by removing that entry from the "dir_rom" line and just making it:
it checks if there are differences between the previous stock config and the one currently saved. if there are differences, it saves the updated script with a .default extension.
If the files are not different, then it updates them.
