Title: Screen goes black after exiting game back to MameWah.
Post by: electricd on July 18, 2005, 03:04:42 pm

Hello,

Just put together a cocktail table, and used a brand new eMachine and 19" samsung monitor for the setup (i know, i know and emachine!).  Anyway, everthing works perfectly until you go to exit a game using the ESC key.  8 times out of 10, the screen just goes black and then nothing.  If I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL I can see that the only app running is MameWah, so it looks like Mame exits gracefully.  I am not sure, but its almost like the switching of resolution back from whatever mame was using to 800X600 is causing this?  Has anyone seen this before, and if so, how do I fix it?  Also, I am running an older version of MameWah simply because I am afraid to upgrade if all is working (which it is on my other arcade, just not on this one :))  Thanks.

Try using {safelaunch} in the commandline_format.
