I'm setting up another mame pc at the moment and have struck a weird issue which I think is caused by the video codec/graphics overlay setting. I have been running Mamewah for years with no problems. I recently built up an old pc (intel DG35EC motherboard) and copied my entire mamewah folder and emulation folder over as I normally do. I have all drivers for the mainboard, onboard graphics etc.. installed. I ran the system files batch file installer for mamewah. I installed the K-Lite codec pack. machine is running windows xp pro sp3.
When I launch mamewah the screen goes black for about a second everytime I change a game and the video for that game plays. I have isolated it to the codec as the same thing happens in windows media player when I play any of the preview videos. if I turn off "use overlays" in the windows media player options it fixes it in media player but not in mamewah. If I uninstall the codec mamewah works fine, however ofcourse the video previews don't play????
Any ideas??
