Make sure, that it is loaded with +irexec /etc/lirc/vdr-mame-lircrc +Load the plugin with -P mame + + + +Configuration: +At this time, there are only two setup-options: +Stop VDR before play: The VDR will be stopped, before the game +is launched. This is recommended, when using a weak machine or +something like xineliboutput. VDR will be restarted automatically +after mame has ended.
