get Error "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory"

I got error like this, does it mean I have to compile it manually?

I just ran the example:

import random
from MAMEToolkit.sf_environment import Environment

# roms_path = "roms/sf2ceua"  # Replace this with the path to your ROMs
# roms_path = r"roms/"  # Replace this with the path to your ROMs
roms_path = "roms/"  # Replace this with the path to your ROMs
env = Environment("env1", roms_path)
env.start()
while True:
    move_action = random.randint(0, 8)
    attack_action = random.randint(0, 9)
    frames, reward, round_done, stage_done, game_done = env.step(
        move_action, attack_action)
    if game_done:
        env.new_game()
    elif stage_done:
        env.next_stage()
    elif round_done:
        env.next_round()

and got error like this:

Do I have to compile it ?

Hey @dbsxdbsx did you find a solution? 🙂 I'm seeing the same error

@uudens , I haven't paid attention on it for a long time. And no solution is found.

Sounds like you need to compile MAME and move it to the installed MAMEToolkit python package folder:

git clone [email protected]:M-J-Murray/mame.git

Build MAME(use this if you installed SDL2 via homebrew on Big Sur and change version):

make -j 5 SUBTARGET=arcade REGENIE=1 SDL_INSTALL_ROOT=/usr/local/Cellar/sdl2/2.0.16 USE_LIBSDL=1

Copy it to the MAMEToolkit folder:

mkdir /Users/USER/PATH/TO/lib/python3.9/site-packages/MAMEToolkit/emulator/mame cp mamearcade /Users/USER/PATH/TO/lib/python3.9/site-packages/MAMEToolkit/emulator/mame/mame cp -r ini /USER/PATH/TO/lib/python3.9/site-packages/MAMEToolkit/emulator/mame cp -r bgfx /USER/PATH/TO/lib/python3.9/site-packages/MAMEToolkit/emulator/mame cp -r plugins /USER/PATH/TO/lib/python3.9/site-packages/MAMEToolkit/emulator/mame/ cp -r language /USER/PATH/TO/lib/python3.9/site-packages/MAMEToolkit/emulator/mame/
