From the version 145 it is necessary create a new mame.ini.
That vga and PC you have?
Does it happen to you with all the games?
It tries to rename mame.ini and advmenu.rc of your previous installation and prove it, I have not had these problems.

hi ves,
i've just done a clean install onto an unpartitioned drive. on the official groovymame linux live cd, when i press escape, it takes me back to the groovy arcade main menu, so i can access file manager to edit files and paths etc...
on your unofficial version, when i press escape at the emulator screen, it just hangs with a black screen... i only play mame games, so haven't tried other emulators.
can you tell me how to get to the main GA menu?
tia

Hi MonkeyJug,
I've just installed the new 64-bit CD yesterday and I get the same black screen but only when exiting AdvanceMenu. For me the solution is pressing CRTL+F2, CTRL+F1, then it brigs you to the console, press CTRL+C and then it goes to the main menu again. We'll see if this can be fixed.
MonkeyJug:
many thanks Calamity. i was stuggling to get back to the main menu, because i needed to change some paths in advmenu.rc.
i have a separate drive with roms, formatted ntfs. it has the following structure:
/MAME
/ROMS
/SNAP
/TITLES
i have mounted the drive as the roms/snap drive, and i have changed the paths in advmenu.rc to read home/roms/MAME/roms, home/roms/MAME/titles and home/roms/MAME/snap.
the snaps and titles are showing up in advancemenu, but it won't find the roms. i had to also change the path in mame.ini to point to home/roms/MAME/roms too and now the roms are all working. is this a bug?
also, do you know what version of mame this is based off? the romset i have is for 0.145 and i was wondering if i should update them...
great work ves!

That's normal, you need to apply the right paths manually both to advmenu.rc and mame.ini (roms path only in mame.ini) once the drive is mounted. Since day-0 of GroovyArcade, I've been demanding a way to mount ntfs drives directly from gasetup so that you can point to your target roms and snaps paths and these settings be applied to advmenu.rc and mame.ini automatically. Probably Ves will finally add something like this for next release.
BTW GroovyMAME version in last iso is 0.145

Seems ves has forgot the "advmenu_exit.patch", which fix that black screen.
If you need the patch just ask me.
