Rom stopped playing...
« on: April 21, 2016, 10:35:13 pm »
Kind of curious on something.  I have MAME 167 loaded in 3 different machines. Identical set ups..(a cocktail, upright and on my desktop computer) Was playing a game last night...finished and powered down.  I did wash all the roms thru clrmamepro prior to setting things up.

Fired the machine up today so the son and I could play again.  Selected the same game...and, it will open, but seems corrupted.  I deleted that rom zip.  Fired up a different unit copied the zip to a usb drive and reinstalled.

I get the same result...game (rom) seems currupted?  Is there a setting in MAME that I could have inadvertantly messed up? I was not in the ini file at all.

I did delete the tom cfg file and that had no change to the game.

Kind of stumped on this one.  Any advice is appreciated.

I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
