| (1/1) |
| MAME nut:
Sort of embarassing.....I wanted to copy my files and set-up from a machine I built two years ago (that works perfectly), but MAMEWAH locks up at start-up with this message in the LOG.... (any help would be appreciated of where to begin trouble shooting, THANKS).... 10/25/06 9:03:10 AM MAMEWAH launched 10/25/06 9:03:10 AM Desktop colour: 8421376 10/25/06 9:03:10 AM Wallpaper filename: (None) 10/25/06 9:03:10 AM Display mode: 640x480 @ 0Hz, 8 bit colour 10/25/06 9:03:10 AM Decimal symbol: '.' 10/25/06 9:03:11 AM Layout selected: C:\MAMEWAH\layouts\Caveskin\layout.lay 10/25/06 9:03:11 AM Bad image file: C:\MAMEWAH\layouts\mamewah-art.png 10/25/06 9:03:11 AM Bad image file: C:\MAMEWAH\layouts\mamewah-art.png 10/25/06 9:03:11 AM Bad image file: C:\MAMEWAH\layouts\mamewah-art.png 10/25/06 9:03:11 AM Error: 429 ActiveX component can't create object in CTRLR_InitialiseDI 10/25/06 9:03:11 AM Error: 429 ActiveX component can't create object in SFX_InitialiseDS 10/25/06 9:03:11 AM Error: 429 ActiveX component can't create object in SFX_InitialiseDS |

DirectX possibly? Brad |

Looks more like an unregistered Active X control (ocx). If MameWah comes with an installer I suggest you use it. If you just copied the folder across to your other machine then some components that need to be registered during install are missed. I would (1) Install MameWah using it's installer then (2) Copy the folder from the setup machine over it. |

As Headcaze stated, make sure you have installed the MameWAH Sysyem Files which are available for download on the MameWAH website. Also, make sure you have at least DirectX 7 (I think). Just install the latest DX. John |

It's a DirectX or audio driver problem as I recall (as previously suggested.) I had this very same problem when I setup my first MAME box. Here's a previous thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=39912.msg360649#msg360649 dot |
