Hi

Just set up a groovymame win 10 pc and all seems to be working fine apart from an annoying problem.

When I start a game a pop up will appear and say "switchres: error trying to fill monitor range with"

Anyone know how I can get rid of this ?

I followed the "Groovy MAME: Installation and quick configuration (2019 guide)" and all went well until this.

Any help would be great

Are you using mame.ini updated?

Hi

I'm just using the one

that came in the groovymame folder for mame 0.252.

I think I followed these steps correctly


--- Quote ---   2. Create a directory for MAME in the target computer, say, C:\GROOVYMAME, and extract into it the content of Groovy MAME's compressed file. A file with the name mame64.exe should be there. Right-click it, go to Properties, Compatibility and give it Admin. privileges.


3. Make sure the following folders are there: C:\GROOVYMAME\ini and C:\GROOVYMAME\ini\source. The former will be the folder to place per-game (per-machine, in the case of home systems) INI configuration files, while the latter will host per-driver INI configuration files. These INI files will only be needed when we want specific MAME settings for a game or group of games, since they'll get priority over Groovy MAME's main configuration file mame.ini. Remember this.


4. If it's not present after the extraction, create mame.ini: Right-click mame64.exe and click Send to, Desktop (create shortcut). Place this desktop shortcut into GM's directory (paste in C:\GROOVYMAME). Right-click it, go to Properties, Direct access label, and, in the target field add " -cc" -- that is, if it has:

C:\GROOVYMAME\mame64.exe
...it must have:

C:\GROOVYMAME\mame64.exe -cc
Now make it accept the change and double-click this direct access.


5. Make sure a mame.ini file is now in your Groovy MAME directory and delete the direct access you pasted there in the previous step.

Hi

Just an update , I decided to use launchbox frontend and once I got it set up I do not get that error anymore , its only when I use the mame built in GUI.

Thanks

You said 0.252 ?  It had a lot of bugs. Try 0.253 .
