Title: Mame 0.128 LCD Topgun offscreen shooting quits Mame
Post by: Pitou on December 14, 2008, 02:49:30 pm

Hello,

Here is my setup.

I'm using Mame 0.128 and Mamewah as the frontend on a WinXP. I also used "instant sheller" to hide Windows, so the PC starts Mamewah directly.

Now with my LCDP Topgun and the latest EMS drivers, everything I start a game, if I press the trigger while  being offscreen, Mame quits and I'm back to Mamewah.

Any idea?

Pitou!

Do you have exit mapped to the ESC key or have you changed it.

When you shoot offscreen it sends a button press, I think it is usually mouse button 2?  I don't know if it is hard coded or if it can be reassigned but if you have Exit mapped to the same button you would get the result you described.

I managed to capture the error.log that mame generates when it crashes.

I discovered that it crashes only I never pointed at the screen. So if I point at the screen or if i move a mouse device (like trackball or spinner) or doesn't crash.

Attached is the log.
