PowerMame 105.0.1b and Calendar Errors in Neo-Geo games.
dna disturber:
Mike,
I installed mame32 0.105 and didn't have the problems with the calendar error.
With powermame32 0.105.0.1 I have the calendar errors on what it seems all neo geo games (haven't tested them all yet but so far none of them worked)
I tested Neo Mr. do and double dragon and they don't work for me.....
Not a big problem of course because I can still run neo geo games with mame32.....
dna disturber:
I did a compile of the powermame source build 0.105.0.1 using mingw instead of the microsoft compilers.
The result is that the calendar errors now no longer exist.
So Mike I think you're right about the compilers..........
Still it's strange that some have the problem and others have not.
I had the problem on 2 different PC's.
Stoked:
Looks like I'll try the same.

The amount of memory in a system, hyperthreading and a host of other system specific issues can alter the behavior of these types of problems. There aren't any differences between 105.0.0 and 105.0.1 that would cause a problem only on Neo Geo games. The only thing that changed was the order of lights being flashed when pause is hit. It is likely that code just got shuffled around with the 105.0.1 compile. Even changing compiler flags (optimizations mainly) would probably change the problems behavior.

Hi Mike, I just set up a fresh install of windows xp home on a dell 2Ghz box with 512M ram and 40G HD to use in my daughter's cab. Since I use powermame on my cab, I decided to install it on my daughter's cab too even though I am not using an LEDWiz or 49 way sticks. I hand picked about 60 games for her cab that she likes, one of which is Neo Mr Do. I also get the calendar error constantly with PowerMAME32 105.0.1. I haven't tried any other versions and my cab is at 104 and works perfectly. If there is something I can try out, please let me know.
Thanks!
