| Area 51 issue in MAME |
| (1/2) > >> |

I'm having issues with Area 51. I can play through th first bit outside, but when it switches to indoors, every time I hit hte trigger the screen blacks out and the monitor gives a 'click' sound like it was switching resolutions. After a second or so the screen comes back like normal. Unfortunately the game keeps running while this is happening. After three or four attempted shots it's game over. Any idea what's causing this? I'm running MAME 1.05 with mamewah as a front in. Windows xp pro, Arcadevga, Betson Imperial 27" monitor. Thanks! |

It sounds like maybe your gun is switching resolutions to calculate a shot. Without further info, that's the best guess I can come up with. I'm really at a loss, though. Is your MAME configuration locked into a specific resolution? What gun are you using? What resolution is Windows running at? What build of MAME are you using? There are a lot of unanswered questions here. |

Once a game is running, resolutions shouldn't change at all. The only thing I can think of is something running in the background which is momentarily taking focus. This happens *every* time the game goes "indoors?" |

Starting the game up, the first "scene" runs fine, but when it makes the transition to inside the hanger it starts up. Hogan's Alley works fine with this gun, only Area 51 seems to have the issue. |

I may be horribly wrong here....... is it the act labs guns that flash the screen when you fire? if it is it may be that the sudden change from dark to bright (for the flash) is proving too much for your monitor. |
