Reply To: MAME (and Neo Geo) Permissions

[patrick500]

Hi Shiftyowen,
for my part, I am a rookie in linux usage. I come from the “DOS & Windows’s world”.
Like you, I met issue regarding permissions.
So I have got my own solutions :
1. I use the graphic mode to copy roms (from USB stick to roms folder), with the following command:
sudo startx

2. to realign permissions to roms folder or other ones, I use FILEZILA and the ‘right clic’ on folder, select ‘permission’ and apply ‘777’ to all sub-folders and files.

Theorically, it isn’t 100% secured, but for my part, I am not afraid to be hacked… So the risk is limited :)
