Yeah, i've had no issues with hyperspin or maximus arcade either. W hyperspin you just have to make sure you have the right xml to match your set, maximus arcade scans it for your.
Either way, whatever works for you!

I've installed Max Arcade and it runs fine except when you hammer the player 1&2 keys simultaneously to exit a running game then I get the Maximus black screen of death and then a loss of focus problem where you have to restart the pc to fix it?
I've experienced the same problem with another frontend upon exiting yet when i use simply mame32, I do not get the problem. This makes me believe it's a problem with compatibility with my op sys (or something like a driver or my ipac) and the front-ends.
Install mame 141, RUN a game, then exit by hammering the P1&2 buttons and see if you experience this too.
Thanks.
P.S.
Funny, but I thought that maybe using a stripped down xp was the problems so I just reinstalled a completely new OEM XP and Maximus Arcade, and upon exiting the first game, got the same error as above/always. This is with compete all-round fresh installs. There is definitely a major bug in that frontend.
So, I just installed Mala and got this crash log;

Your issue isn't a MAME 141 issue.... This has nothing to do with MAME at all. This is definitely an issue with either your OS or even your hardware. What keyboard encoder are you using? IPAC?

Dazz, thanks for your help and not calling me stoopid this time, believe me or not, I appreciate it. I may be stoopid, but I don't like being reminded of it in a public forum.
I think it's a prob btwn the frontends, possibly mame, and the xp. I've now ruled out Ipac. I thought it might be the P1&2 shift esc combo pattern but after assigning a single key to the esc function I still get the hang up after the Max Arcade screensaver exits a game (at some point, I haven't caught this happening live, it's always when i'm out of the room) . With the reassigned keys I don't have the problem escaping running games and getting the BSOD though.... I think this is something that happens when the mame exits a running game.
So, when the pc just sits with Max Arcade on and it goes to screensaver mode, then at some point I get the BSOD. If you exit the emulator w/a right click you come back to the FE, but it is out of focus meaning you can't click it from the control panel. YOu have to restart the pc to bring it back to normal.
I've installed windows clean, and a clean mame (I use the mame with the interface in it - MameUiHi )and max arcade and still can't out run the problem.
It could be the version of mame I run too. I run MameUiHi and maybe if i ran a straight mame w/out the built in gui I'd eliminate this problem? I havent' tried this yet. It's the only option I have left until I get a new power supply for my other pc w/the better video card....
I take that back, the reassigning of keys didn't work either. I just exited RallyX and got the BSoD....
Another tidbit... I installed the regular mame.exe and started up Max Arcade and got the focus issue without having a chance to get mame start or get involved??? I ran Max Arcade, entered Rally X, started the game, hammered on the esc key, and it crashed Mame, Max and the desktop (lost the task bar)...
