| Hi Score problem on Shutdown |
| (1/1) |

Well I discovered a problem tonght will working on my Tempest replica. Since it is only one game I am not running a front end. Here is my problem, if I just press the pc power button the system shuts down but does not save the hi score. If I exit the game and press the power button the Score is saved. I am trying not to make the shutdown a two step process because I know the kids will not do it right. Is there a way to run a batch file on mame exit to shut down the pc? Or is there a fix for the hi score problem? Thanks John |

nevermind, I think I have a work around.....my brain is fried at this hour. Will call tempest from a batch file, will put a shutdown command in so when you exit mame the batch file will take back over and shut the system down. Might put a choice in for the rare occasion that you don't want the system to shut down. something like system is shutting down. press player 1 start to continue or player 2 start to abort. |

When you then re-apply the power the whole thing should come back in exactly the same state it was in when it was shut down. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

Fozzy, I was using hibernate for a while, I would have problems with it crashing when it came back on. I think the new display drivers fixed that but now I get hung up at a password prompt when comming out of hibernate. I manage the machine now with remote desktop and if I remove the password remote desktop does not work. I have the machine set to auto login, is there a setting like this for coming out of hibernation? Thanks |
