Title: Aimtrak with groovymame Terminator 2 lockup (MS2930 monitor)
Post by: yakk11 on September 02, 2012, 03:08:41 pm: Anybody else having this problem? I was able to play it with a mouse just fine, when i plug in my Aimtraks, it locks up at the startup screen. Revolution x does the same. My monitor is Nanao MS2930. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I can test it on mine later for you as i am aimtracks inside Namco Recoil guns.

Are you using Windows or Linux?

Post by: yakk11 on September 09, 2012, 12:15:49 pm: I'm using Windows XP Pro x64. It seems that it works, SOMETIMES. But most of the time, it locks up at the board test screen. Aimtraks have latest firmware.

Sorry I can't be of more help with this. A log always helps. Anyway, try disabling -multithreading to see if it helps.

Updated to groovymame .147u3, the lockup is gone. However, I started it up today to do some tweaking and have noticed that MAME is playiing the game as a mirror image. i was able to get it to be the right way, but the menus when i hit "tab" are backwards. It is also like this for Lethal Enforcers 1 and 2 (also upside down!). Is there a setting that i changed without knowing? I started with a fresh mame.ini, and deleted the term2/LE1/2 nvram and cfg files. MAMEUI is showing these games correctly, also.

Were you able to fix it?

Post by: Calamity on February 18, 2013, 05:48:05 am: Hi yakk11,

This must be a problem with GM's rotation management. You can surely find a temporary fix by playing with the options -flipx & -flipy, either one of them or a combination of both.

I'll need to have a look, it must be related the problem with some vector games like spacfury.

Post by: Endprodukt on February 18, 2013, 06:27:05 am: Is it possible to use those commands in an Ini? Or just commandline?
Title: Re: Aimtrak with groovymame Terminator 2 lockup (MS2930 monitor)
Post by: Calamity on February 18, 2013, 06:32:50 am: Sure, that's the proper way to do it.

Post by: yakk11 on February 18, 2013, 09:28:04 am: Added ini's with the games that needed it with these commands and it worked! Thanks calamity! :applaud:
