I run XP on my main PC at home with GL, works great. I run XP on my arcade cab, guess what? Works perfectly there, as well. |

Make sure you have "use_rom_directory = no" and "use_extension = no" in your mame.cfg. I fthat doesn't work, post youre mame.cfg. Better yet, join the Game Launcher mailing list and post it there. Trailing spaces shouldn't matter, but that extra dot will mess things up. -Dave |

People love to blame microsoft products (especially the newer, more advanced ones) because they are from a big "bad" corporation. The truth is that big, bad corporation is the reason you are able to type this post on a global internet, with your cheap pc and your reliable, customizable os. It's like that ad about the phone company from "Crazy People" "Were AT&T and we invented the damn phone so shut up and pay your bill!" --AT&T Well they are Microsoft and they made the damn personal computer industry so shut up and use the os. ;) (Mac users and m$ haters please insert flame here, but do you honestly think that the computer industry would be as cheap, global and advanced without m$ ?) |

Im having the same problem as the OP I have tried all the recomendations, but games only launch when in deug mode. I also have spaces at the end of the commands that are being executed. If anyone has any other suggestions, I would love to hear them-- thanks! |

I think I have it figured out... This is the problem I had: Games would properly load when in debug mode, but not load at all when not in debug mode. This is how I fixed it: I moved the directory I had extracted gamelauncher to the root directory (c:\) It possibly wasnt working before because the path to it had a space in it? Good luck to all those having similar problems! |
