I'm helping a buddy set up his MAME computer. in the process of setting up MameWAH, it does not want to work. I've set up 8 or 10 instances of MameWAH and never run into the issues I'm getting here. Immediately upon startup, MameWAH gives me an error and shuts itself down. The log looks like this: 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM MAMEWAH launched 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Cursor scheme: Windows default, Arrow: (None), Wait: (None), AppStarting: (None) 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Desktop colour: 9981440 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Wallpaper filename: C:\WINDOWS\web\wallpaper\Bliss.bmp 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Display mode: 800x600 @ 1Hz, 16 bit colour 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Decimal symbol: '.' 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Error: 7 Out of memory in INI_ApplySettings 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Error: 7 Out of memory in ReadLSTFile 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Error: 9 Subscript out of range in DisplayWindows 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Mode 800 x 600 @ 60, 16bit colour not available 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Error: 7 Out of memory in SFX_InitialiseDS 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Bad sound file: 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM Error: 9 Subscript out of range in DisplayWindows 3/1/2007 8:51:52 PM MAMEWAH quit Any idea what is going on here? |
| FrizzleFried:
Not sure...i'd recommend visiting the Mamewah support board over at MAMEWORLD.INFO. Make sure to tell Twisty "FrizzleFried" sent ya! EDIT: Actually...on second thought...you better avoid the whole FrizzleFried topic with him. |

Try changing the desktop properties to 32 bit. I don't think Mamewah likes 16 bit color. Encryptor |

It originally was on 32 bit and I was getting that error. I changed it to 16 and still got the error (I was fiddling around with settings to see if I could get around the error). |

This may sound a little obvious, but have you installed the essential MAMEWAH system files? That said, make sure you have directx, all video drivers (preferably nvidia if applicable) and all mainboard drivers correctly. f this is not being installed on a 'fresh' install of windows (ie new and untouched), run lots of spyware programs and maybe something like windows washer or some kind of registry cleaner to correct damaged files. Also, a de-frag can't do any harm either. Failing that, from your log it seems that your graphics card and/or monitor is struggling with the display. I found a similar problem with my PC and it turned out my graphics card was on it's way out, and fried every time I tried to switch resolutions or went to high-colour applications like videos etc. |
