DirectX error in MAME

(1/3) > >>

Hey guys, got any ideas?

So I updated to Windows7 (32bit), Went to run MAME & ended up with the Mother F'n DirectX error messages = FML

If I run it in a window all is fine but once I select 'full screen' & run it all I get are error messages. I have DirectX installed & updated, I'm guessing MAME just cant find it when told to run @ Full Screen VS in a window which pisses me off & doesnt make sense to me but....

WWBYOACD?

EDIT: Nvidia GeForce 460 GTX with current drivers & all HS/MAME settings @ 1080p

IIRC it ran @ 768p but stuttered

compute:
I would start by saying what the error is :P

Word

Error 1: Unable to create the Direct3D device (8876086C)

I then click ok & get...

Error 2: Unable to initialize Direct3D

Thanks

pinballwizard79:
A lot of google results = this is a MAME bug

Lucky me

Back to XP, damn!

Does anyone else have a work around?

Thanks

Install DirectX9, seriously, Win7 doesn't ship with the older versions.
