I have searched the forums and haven't quite found what I am seeing, or at least not how I interpret it. I recently finished my 4 player cabinet using mamewah, mame works fine daphne appears to work fine as well about 4 out of 5 times, or at least I haven't been able to get an exact pattern yet of when the problem occurs, but here it is. 20% of the time when we get done playing a daphne game and exit, then try and launch another we get no keyboard or sound response. so I have to hit ctrl+alt+delete and kill the daphne process, then everything returns back to normal. Has anyone seen this before? I am running mamewah 1.61 and the latest available version of daphne on the daphne site. It appears to me its a problem with mamewah in combination with daphne at least in my setup. I am running WindowsXP SP2 with most of the unneeded services disabled. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
deadsoulz

How are you launching Daphne from within MameWAH? Are you suing a batch file or just commandline parameters? Post a copy of your daphne.ini file you use in mamewah to launch daphne so we can see the parameters.

I'm not convinced this will make any difference, but you could try using the '{safelaunch}' flag in the commandline_format in your (Mameweah) Daphne ini file.

I keep expecting Orc to jump in with more abuse here since he got his cabinet up & running... :D

I think he is busy studying the MameWAH manual. He actually answered a pretty technical issue a week or two ago.
