Thanks Howard, I suspected that: the command to open the port is on the scroll down list.
Yesterday I made some tests on another win10 PC: no problems there. Why it was not working on the other is still mistery.
Another thing while we are here: to change COM Port in any .ini one has to change the number in any line. In example:
[General]
MameStart=cmo 4 baud=9600_parity=N_data=8_stop=1
MameStop=cmc 4
StateChange=
OnRotate=
OnPause=
[KeyStates]
RefreshTime=
[Output]
lamp0=
lamp1=cmw 4 3., cmw 4 %s%, cmw 4 x
lamp2=cmw 4 4., cmw 4 %s%, cmw 4 xIs there a way to define the port as a variable so changing COM would be a matter of redefine the variable? Something like:
[General]
vCOM=4
MameStart=cmo vCOM baud=9600_parity=N_data=8_stop=1
MameStop=cmc vCOM
StateChange=
OnRotate=
OnPause=
[KeyStates]
RefreshTime=
[Output]
lamp0=
lamp1=cmw vCOM 3., cmw vCOM %s%, cmw vCOM x
lamp2=cmw vCOM 4., cmw vCOM %s%, cmw vCOM xSomething like this would make the testing phase more practical
