Hi, I am currently trying to convert an arcade machine into a mame. I have a dual core pc and running windows xp. I have a monitor connected to the pc via the motherboards VGA. I have downloaded mame 150 and when I run it from the command prrompt I get the following message. Is this because I am using the motherboard driver? C:\MAME>mame Proposed video mode not supported on device \\.\DISPLAY1 ----------------------------------------------------- Exception at EIP=014782C6 (drawd3d_window_init(win_window_info*)+0x01b6): ACCESS VIOLATION While attempting to read memory at 00000080 ----------------------------------------------------- EAX=00000000 EBX=0029DEC8 ECX=7C91056D EDX=00340000 ESI=77D4C78E EDI=00000001 EBP=05F5FE70 ESP=05F5FE08 ----------------------------------------------------- Stack crawl: 05F5FE70: 014782C6 (drawd3d_window_init(win_window_info*)+0x01b6) 05F5FF20: 014516D9 (complete_create(win_window_info*)+0x0269) 05F5FF80: 01451AD7 (thread_entry(void*)@4+0x0287) 05F5FFB4: 77C3A3B0 (endthreadex+0x00a9) 05F5FFEC: 7C80B50B (GetModuleFileNameA+0x01b4) |

Can somebody help out with this? |

yes, it looks like DirectX is failing to start up, so either you don't have the current DX installed, or your drivers / video card are inadequate. this should probably be handled a bit more cleanly in MAME. |

Installing the chipset drivers and direct x has done the trick. Thanks :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: |
