strange Mame problem
(1/2) > >>
SammyLJ:
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.
Gatt:
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.
SammyLJ:
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
rCadeGaming:
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.
