Hey Minwah,

Frequently while scrolling through my list of games mamewah will craash and exit.  Here is the log (it is always the same error):

Any ideas why it does this? 

By the way, is the source code available?  Maybe I could debug it...

Which version of Mamewah?  I thought this was an old bug which has been fixed...

Not yet, but it has something to do with the music playback.

Not currently, sorry.
Farmboy90:
- Version 1.61

- The music plays fine, so do the sound effects (I have a navigate sound).  They seem to play even when the program crashes.

- Shoot.  No source code?  Why not open source it?  Or at least give it to your good buddy over here.  :)  I would love to help debug at the very least.

So what bug was supposed to have been fixed?  I mean what was the issue?  Maybe that can shed more light on what I am seeing.

Hey Farmboy,

Are you sure you don't have a stuck key?  I read your posts on the other forum.  I had a stuck key once and it made a lot of things crash.  I don't use mamewah but a lot of weird things happened to Mame32. 

My I-pac is older and doesn't have the led but I would test it by plugging a keyboard into the pass through and pressing Ctr Alt P or something like that.  Testing for a stuck key should be listed on Andy's site.

As you said on the other forum, you'd think a stuck keywould effect whatever switch was stuck consistantly but that didn't happen in my case.  Anyway, it's worth a shot and may explain your second player dying all the time.

Thanks for the tip.  The MameWAH crash doesn't happen all the time.  Seems to only crash when I scroll one by one through the list (which is rare).  I only happened to be doing it last night as I was trying to weed out games.  Normally I pageup/pagedown and then scroll to the game I want.

At any rate, yes I have a keyboard plugged into the IPAC passthrough.  When I hit ctrl-alt-p the IPAC tool comes up and reports nothing unusual.

Although you just reminded me of something.  This probably has something to do with DOS and whether echo is on of off or something, but here is what I do to get to the IPAC tool.

- Launch a dos prompt
- Type 'copy con' at the prompt and hit return
- Then hit ctrl-alt-p

The IPAC tools comes up but prints everything twice.  Is that normal?  I don't remember all the options the tools lists, but my window will look something like this when I enter the IPAC tool mode:

Welcome to IPAC blah blah blah
Welcome to IPAC blah blah blah
Press t for test mode
Press t for test mode
Press e to save and exit
Press e to save and exit
Press a to abort
Press a to abort


Weird or normal?  :)
