mame: improve user experience when running — at Initial Version

Port: mame

Description

Presently, when launching Mame, the user is presented with several warnings:

$ mame
Unable to create history.db

Unable to create history.db

This is due to the default Mame configuration, which references read-only directories within the MacPorts tree.

For the next port release, we should improve on this:

  • At a minimum, the port notes should mention that a custom user configuration file (.ini) will fix such issues.
  • In addition, it would be helpful to provide an example user configuration file.
  • And finally, it might also be worth using a default configuration, that references user-writable areas. Say, ~/Library/Application Support/Mame/...
