CRT_Emudriver installation help! ;(

[Ex_mosquito]

Something went horribly wrong with my drivers on my Groovymame set-up. For some reason when I running normal MameUI to test something using 'D3D' graphics option the pc is now stuck in 31khz. I've unplugged it and uninstalled the drivers using cat-uninstaller. I've re-downloaded the CRT_Emudrivers but for some reason when I try and install them I'm getting this error message.




Any ideas? Or have I killed the Jpac?

Panic over! I managed to reinstall the CRT_Emudrivers via the windows xp hardware install and pointing to the drivers dir manually. All working perfect Gain now. It's strange why I got that error message about the error message, though.

That was close! I dunno what I'd do without Groovymame now!

That error is because it's an old version of windows that doesn't support functions that newer versions of windows does support.. ie long filenames etc..
Look at the length of the path in the address bar at the top... A little longer than the 95char limit in windows XP..
moving the drivers to another folder closer to root or shortening the folder names would have helped too...
D:/drivers/ etc

wasn't a major issue in the long run.. it just seems that way when you don't know whats going on

Sorry but that's completely wrong Sledge, the Windows version has nothing to do with that error. FAT32 supports 256 characters for path names, NTFS up to 32K. It's the ATI installer that is pure crap and must have an arbitrary hardcoded maximum string length for the path name. The solution you're suggesting is perfectly right.

well at least I was half right
