Hi!

I'm trying to use Switchres 1,443 for windows with ID4 Mame 106, I followed the Calamity instructions but when I try to run Switchres I always get an error:

Here is the sources you asked for (maybe with your environment it compiles...).

Is the latest git version BC (Before Calamity).

Nope, sorry (I'm not a "switchres-master").

I'm trying to use Switchres 1,443 for windows with ID4 Mame 106, I followed the Calamity instructions but when I try to run Switchres I always get an error:

I already answered ID4 in the Spanish forum, just posting it here too for the sake of information. MAME v0.106 couldn't output XML information for a single rom. It always outputs the whole 25 MB XML file. That's why Switchres gets crazy and can't work with it.
Important note: posts reporting GM issues without a log will be IGNORED.
Steps to create a log:
 - From command line, run: groovymame.exe -v romname >romname.txt
 - Attach resulting romname.txt file to your post, instead of pasting it.

That is true.

But now ArcadeMAME 106 (ID4 Mame) is compatible with Switchres  :applaud:, I was working some days and get it  :cheers:.

I get too that Mame double the pixels of games with vertical resolution under 384px (as option), so it will tell to switchres the doubled resolution of that games, and then some ATI cards that can't work with lower resolution (HD 2XXX, 3XXX ...), will work with this ArcadeMAME, switchres and magic resolutions.

I need to do testing, I hope to publish an alpha version in my blog soon  ;)

Sounds like a good alternative for older computers. Nice work!
