Hi everyone,

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, compiled mame 0.176, placed it in $HOME/.mame and configured everything in mame.ini

From terminal giving the following command "$HOME/.mame/mame64 rtype" gives me the following

Unable to open effect file bgfx/effects/gui_opaque.json
Unable to open effect file bgfx/effects/gui_blend.json
Unable to open effect file bgfx/effects/gui_multiply.json
Unable to open effect file bgfx/effects/gui_add.json
Unable to open effect file bgfx/effects/screen_opaque.json
Unable to open effect file bgfx/effects/screen_blend.json
Unable to open effect file bgfx/effects/screen_multiply.json
Unable to open effect file bgfx/effects/screen_add.json
MAME exception: BGFX: Unable to load required shaders. Please check and reinstall the bgfx folder

if I switch the video from bgfx to opengl in OSD VIDEO OPTIONS, the above command launches the game just fine.

By the way if I type the above command from within mame folder or double click mame64 from nautilus, bgfx works.

Is there a way to set bgfx directory in mame.ini ?

I appreciate any help.
