Hey man, writeup looks good. I'm still fighting with this new version, I get crashes on startup occasionally and crashes on launching Mame still. I need to grab a fresh install and go see if I had done something dumb with my settings. Right now I'm still using the last pure QT version because it's the most stable for my build. No crashes on startup or exit and only issues with Mame on initial lauch - I still need to try and different MAME version and see if it goes away.
I'll tell you tho, I've launched dozens of times through MALA and never been able to replicate the crashes so I don't think it has anything to do with MAME itself.

I expected nothing different when launching MAME, because the last QT build and the new version have NO difference in this part (the code is the same)
However, the occasionally crash on startup (apparently you mean when you startup the FE) is new and it may be fixable.
If you provide me more information, I will be able to fix it!
For example... When it crashes? When it is loading the index.html page or the main.html page (the main.html contains the actual FE code with the carousel and all the stuff. The index page is the startup page and it contains the startup video etc)
Is the UIplayer.exe loading? You will notice an icon on the traybar. If the FE crashes when is loading the UIPlayer, try this:
Start the UIplayer first (double click on it) and then load the HTMLFrontEnd.exe. Check if you have crashes on startup
I will check the software on my game machine (windows XP SP3 32bit)
PS. About the launcing crashes. I haven't implemented the new code yet (the last version and the new version share the same code), because I wanted to make sure everything with the sound was OK
With the new code the UIPlayer will be the program launching the games and for that reason it's important to fix the startup issues
Le Chuck:
On the current version uiPlayer does load and music does play. What has been happening a lot is that the intro video will play then when the video is complete the FE will white screen and freeze but the music will come up and continue to play. When I kill the FE the music will continue to play until I kill uiPlayer. So based on that I'd said it's crashing on main.html and not on index since it makes it through the vid. I've been pretty swamped this week but this weekend I'll take another crack at it and let you know.
