Title: Mamewah / Mame - Error - unable to find keyboard device <Error 32> ??
Post by: BUCKETHEAD on July 09, 2005, 12:33:11 pm

Hello,

I have a question? I am running the new versions of MAMEWAH and MAME.

I have everything working with MAMEWAH. But when i go to launch a game, I get

a blackbox with this message in it (Unable to find Keyboard device <Error 32>.


Now i have a USB keyboard and im running windows XP.

My full list of games are showing up in MAMEWAH and everything.

It's just when i go to play any of them i get that message?


Thanks for any help?    :)

Is it MAME or Mamewah giving the error?

What happens after you OK the error message?

I have the same problem
I just tried to run a game mamewah to test it before I put it in my cabinet but I get the error about the keyboard.   The black screen goes away and it goes back to the mamewah menu screen.  I'm not sure if it's mame or mamewah.  This is the first time working with mame and mamewah so I could be doing something wrong.
Any help will be great.

Try running MAME from a commandline to see if you still get the error...if not I guess it's Mamewah's fault  ::)

I tired running it from a commandline and I get the same error.  I think it has something to do with mame but I double checked everything.

I found the problem.  I didn't have the roms in the same folder as the mame .exe.  I put them together and it worked!!!

Wierd...that shouldn't make any difference, other than your games not working.

FWIW - I get the same error with WinMAME (cmd line) outside of MAMEwah under Win2k with a PS/2 keyboard, but the games still come up and play fine.  (I may get in on the main computer as well, but I have the DOS box hidden. . .
