So I have been running Mame 0.146 since i have all the roms for it. It has been working fine. Out of nowhere, mame will no longer load and all it does is cause a windows error and wants to send an error report. Anyone know what i can do to fix this? |
| DaOld Man:
mame.exe might be corrupted. Download a new exe file and try it. |

I'd also recommend doing a full hard drive scan with scandisk, and downloading a tool to read the SMART status of your drives. While it is possible for a bit to flip, it's unlikely. Commonly random file corruption means impending hard drive failure. If it is, and you don't handle that now, in a couple weeks you'll try to boot and fail, and everything on the drive will be lost. |

I shut the PC down and re booted, it now works. Dont know why. Also some of the drivers will drop and reappear when i reboot. Crazy thing is that this is a new 1T harddrive that i bought just for my mame project |

1TB? 100G should be plenty for MAME. A smaller solid-state drive will run faster and be much better for MAME. Use that big guy in an HTPC or something. |
