My old PC running Groovymame on my Astro City cab (Vertical) was running a romset 8yrs old. So I decided to buy a newer PC and update my roms so I could play some of the more CPU intensive games.
I have it all running and most games look good, but I'm having an issue with some games, Amidar and Frogger run blind with a black screen and Space War (Sanritsu) doesn't look right sort of squased a bit.
I have googled and searched here and made a couple of changes to my mame.ini to try to fix this but no luck yet.
I tried to create a log file as per Calamity's sig but my PC creats a blank .txt file log as others have also reported here.
I have attached my mame.ini file in the hope that helps.
I am using Windows 10 and have used the crt_eumdriver_&_tools_2.0_beta_15_16.2.1_W.7.8.10 64
And the latest groovymame_0281.22lf_win 7 8 10
I get 31 video modes found - 28 redundant - 0 video modes dropped - 3 modelines generated
They install fine and as I said most games play fine, but some are quirky, this is the last issue I need to fix before I re-calibrate my monitor to the new PC and call it job finished.
I have fingers crossed that someone can help me please, I have spent sooooo long trying to fix this myself.
(I couldn't work out how to "insert" the file instead of attaching)

Try running the command prompt with administrator privileges.

OK thanks I will give that a try when I get time.
Tried with admin privileges and it created the .txt log in a different folder but it was still blank, I can see the cmd prompt running, but it's just not generating/writing the log file properly.
