Mame32 v0.99u6?? Broken...games won't load now.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.mame (More info?)

Has anyone else experienced Mame32 trying to load a game and immediately
going back to the Mame32 GUI after updating to 99.u5 or .99u6?

I'm trying simple games like Pole Position II and the likes...games I know
worked on 99u3 and I think 4.

I ran CMP on my Files and all are in good working order.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

Have you deleted all the custom cfg files pertaining to the games (i
dont believe you'll have to delete default.cfg though).

Let us know if that works!

Well I deleted all the cfg files in the cfg folder and restarted Mame32 and
it still acts like it's loading then returns to the GUI.

Perhaps its a bug on a few games only? I can open other games just
fine...but I know they all worked before the update. Guess I'll just wait
it out and see what's going on...I have v.99 installed as well and It plays
them fine.

I have no idea what might have changed.

I also had this problem if MAME32 wasnt in the root of the drive. I
used to keep it in H:\Emulators\Arcade\Multiple and it would sometimes
do that, I had to re-download the exe file. After speaking here about
it, I have now re-downloaded MAME32 (or reextracted it from the archive
I dont remember) and now keep it in H:\MAME, and it works. I had to
literally install a new MAME and cut-n-paste the ROMs, samples etc from
the older folder.

Try that.

Have you tried either running MAME32 from the commandline or running
command line based MAME to see if you are missing an error of some sort?

Check the Mame testers forum, there's some mention of this and other
u6 bugs:

Yep..those are the same problems I'm having...

Guess I'll stick with .99u4 for now...thanks for the link to the forum...as
much as I hunt on MAME on the web, can't believe I've overlooked that
forum..

Thanks!
Mike
