I've got MAME set up and running fine (I think). I even compiled my own version of .118u1. All of the games I've tried launching so far work fine except for Super Pac-Man and Mappy - that's it and I've tested about 700 games so far. I've tried running "superpac", "superpcm", "mappy", etc. and both games get to 11% on the loading screen (I'm using MaLa) and then I get kicked back to the list of games. Has anyone else experienced this (a game not loading)? Any ideas on what could be going wrong? Thanks! |

You need to go to a command prompt and run mame from there so you can see what the actual error message is. In other words at the C prompt in your mame folder type: mame superpac |

OK, I tried running Mappy from the cmd window and got this error: --- Quote ---Warning: unknown option in INI: frames_to_run Warning: unknown option in INI: rdtsc Warning: unknown option in INI: a2d_deadzone Warning: unknown option in INI: digital Warning: unknown option in INI: frames_to_run Warning: unknown option in INI: rdtsc Warning: unknown option in INI: a2d_deadzone Warning: unknown option in INI: digitalWarning: unknown option in INI: frames_to_run Warning: unknown option in INI: rdtsc Warning: unknown option in INI: a2d_deadzone Warning: unknown option in INI: digitalWarning: unknown option in INI: frames_to_run Warning: unknown option in INI: rdtsc Warning: unknown option in INI: a2d_deadzone Warning: unknown option in INI: digital Attempted to malloc zero bytes (src/emu/tilemap.c:333) --- End quote --- Mappy and Super Pac-man are 2 games I just can't live without! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :cheers: |

One of the problems is it looks like you're using a mame.ini file from an older version of mame. I would go into the mame folder and rename your mame.ini file to something like mame.ini.old and then recreate a new one. In the mame directory at the C prompt type: mame -cc Then rerun again and see if all the errors go away or just the ones regarding unknown options. Do you have a file called superpac.ini file in a mame subfolder called ini? |
