DJO_Maverick:
Is there any particular quirk to getting output hooked up with Groovymame 0.253 in particular? Groovymame folder is set properly in config, and I've manually set output to Windows in the mame.ini, but the output test is simply not picking up any outputs from it at all.
Thanks-

Actually tried following through that before posting. I already manually changed OSD Output to Windows in the mame.ini, and am using the Output Test to verify there's no output of any kind being picked up. Doesn't seem like Groovymame distributions come with the whatsnew.txt, if that is required.
Left me wondering if it meant it doesn't work with 0.221 OR LATER, or if it is only 0.221 that's at issue? Anything else that could be causing output not to be picked up?
Thank you,

There was a specific issue with .221, but it's possible there are issues with other versions. Unfortunately I don't have any control over that. The whatsnew.txt is not necessary. If you have the mame.ini configured correctly (OSD Output) and the LEDBlinky Mame Output test app is still not showing any data, then it may be an issue with the specific version of Groovymame or Groovymame in general? One thing I would try is to downloaded the standard mame build and see if that works on your system.

So far I've tried with GroovyMame 0.253, 0.254, and normal MAME 0.254 (current). None of them are sending any output to the output test window.
And just to make sure I'm not crazy, this is what I've got at the relevant part of my mame.ini:
--- Code: ---#
# OSD OUTPUT OPTIONS
#
output Windows
#
# OSD INPUT OPTIONS
#
--- End code ---
Am I missing something obvious, before I start working backwards through a whole lot of builds?
Thanks,
