Title: Mamewah 1.51 run-time error
Post by: Popcorrin on October 13, 2004, 05:56:24 pm

I have had mamewah 1.51 working just fine since Minwah first released but for whatever reason I am now getting a run-time error when I got to start it.  The run-time error is as follows:

Run-time error   - 2005401590 (887800a)
Automation Error

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?  Thanks

Things which have caused this error for other users:

1) Incorrect DirectX version (or no DX)
2) Sound driver issues

It doesn't sound like these are the problem for you since you already had it working...check all the same tho.

One other thing you could try: edit the ini file for whatever emu/list is currently selected (eg mame-0.ini), and set 'current_game' to something different.  It is a long shot but if your snapshot for the selected game is bad for some reason, it might cause this error when trying to decode the PNG.

It turns out the sound card went bad.  Replaced it and everything is back to normal.  Thanks Minwah
