Mame errors on every game
beast8812:
I have Mame setup and it will play my games for about 5 mins and then it errors out and shuts down on me. It does this with every game, every time. Any ideas what I need to fix or what I can check? Thanks for any help.

What kind of errors are you getting? I think we need a bit more info in order for us to help :)

The screen goes black, the sound screws up and it kicks me back out to windows, where the screen is usually turned 90 degrees or more out of whack. Then it gives me the option to send a microsoft error report. So basically what happens when anything freezes or screws up on your windows based computer. Occasionally the game will play more then just a few minutes but it eventually happens everytime I try playing something. Most times I dont make it past 5 mins of game play.

Are you running an Intel video chipset? Do you have a blue monitor icon in your system tray?
There is a hot-key combination for rotating the screen 90, -90, 180, -180 (i believe ctrl-alt-arrow) on some Intel video chipsets.
Look in the settings to see if you can disable that, I bet you're sending that combination of keys to it.

I had this on Mame 140. Every game just did a twisty jig on the screen and terminated.
Could not find the error, checked everything twice.
