Title: Mame crashes when loading a rom. *Fixed*
Post by: Rolpa on November 25, 2009, 04:20:23 pm

I was setting up the computer for my cabinet, and I had just finished setting up the emulators and my front end. I was able to run ZSnes and Gens fine, but when I tried to run Mame, it crashed. I tried running it outside the front end, and I still got the same result. I am running a cut down version of Windows XP, so I was thinking my OS installation was missing something Mame requires. Any idea what's wrong?

Tell us whats the exact MSG that MAME tells you. I bet you are missing some GAME ROM/BIOS FILES etc...
What game u trying to test ?
Use CLRMAMEpro to audit your ROMS for that Version of MAME u r using.

Mame doesn't show any error messages, it just goes straight to a black screen whenever I try to play a rom.


Also, since I forgot to mention it in my first post, I'm using MameUI32 0.95.

Nevermind, I fixed it. Turns out I needed to update some video drivers.
