The Dreaded Black Screen

(1/7) > >>

hueffmea:
I recently updated MAME to the latest version. I'm quite happy because now all the games I want work. I have been able to make a favorites list and I now have 300 games on my list. Everything is great right up until I try to run one of the games. Mame says "Initializing" and then I get a black screen that never goes away. The system has not crashed because I can back out. If I try and run the game from MAME it works fine. I'm stumped!

hueffmea:
I'm guessing by the lack of responses that I didn't put enough information in. So, I'm running Arcade Maximus 2.10 and I upgraded to MAME 0.218. I'm running it on a PC with windows 8.
Can I be more helpful, or is this a problem everyone is having?

nexusmtz:
Preferences, options, misc, Show command string before launch.
Copy the command and make sure it runs as is outside of MA.

hueffmea:
Ok, I have the command line. I'm not sure how to make Mame run a command line. Any pointers?

nexusmtz:
In Windows 8, right-click the start button and select Command Prompt.

Enter PUSHD c:\mame0218
(or wherever you have MAME)

Then enter the command that was displayed by Maximus Arcade.
