Please Help - Index Out of Range Error

Hi Guys,

I'm getting the "Director Player Error" - "Index out of Range":



I posted another thread a week ago about how I couldn't get a replacement version of MAME working with MA (I previously had .134 working perfectly). Because I got no responses I assumed it was a config issue so I removed MA and reinstalled.

I've done nothing crazy - just specified my roms folder and told it to force rescan. Each time I try to run MA I get the error above. I'm running plain old Windows XP, I have Software transitions selected, etc. (read this in another thread).

Can anyone help? I've tried everything I can think of - and MA fires up, scans MAME Media, and as soon as it says Importing XML Gamelist, this error fires.

Thanks.

Ok - just as follow-up...I tried setting MA back to MAME .134 (config-wise)...and it scanned and imported perfectly.

So it appears to be something up with MAME .95, or the associated roms. If anyone has any hints or tips to troubleshoot - I'm all ears.

Thanks.

Have you tried backing up and deleting your mame.xml from the MA directory.  My guess is that MA built one for the original version of MAME and then when you switch versions it gets confused.

So I'd remove it and let MA build a fresh one from the new MAME version.

Also, make sure your "path to media" is set to long in the config for MAME in preferences.

Hi Delusional - do you mean the Mame.lst in the preferences directory? I don't have a mame.XML anywhere I can see.

I tried deleting the .lst files for Mame in that prefs directory and rescanning, same error. Tried setting to "long" also, still no help.

Anything else I can do to troubleshoot? I guess I can start pulling out roms from the directory to see if it is choking on something in particular.

Any chance this is related to the mame.dat file?

Appreciate any and all suggestions.

Try increasing the value for generating the MAME.xml
