XMAME executable path : In this field you must specify the name
of the xmame executable you want to use, if it is in the path, the simple
name is enought (i.e. xmame, xmame.x11, xmame.sdl,...), if not so, you
must select the full path-name of the xmame executable. After you have
changed this option, you can use the Reload button of the toolbar to make
changes have effect or you can quit the GnoMAME and relaunch it. Warning
: If this entry is not properly set the GnoMAME don't recognize any game
at all.

Previews directory : This is the directory where GnoMAME find the
game screenshot to show in the "Preview Window", of course if not
set properly you cannot view any screenshot.
Note : Once you have edit all the desired fields you must confirm
changes with the "OK" button, in this way the program write the
preferences for future use (it write a gnomame file into the .gnome directory
of your home dir), otherwise if you press the "Cancel" button the window
close but no changes will be saved so the next time you run GnoMAME they'll
be ignored.
