New GM install in WinXP64, getting [LUA ERROR]...
« on: May 08, 2016, 10:28:10 am »
Been running a GroovyArcade Linux for 3 years and decided to try the Windows version :) Otherwise doing just fine, but as I start GM, I get the following error:

"[LUA ERROR]plugins\boot.lua:19: attempt to index a nil value: (global "mame manager") If I click ok, GM starts.

Any clues what this is all about?

WinXp64 (all updates)
X300
EmuDriver 6.5
Latest GroovyMame (mame 173b)

I'd go with Win 7 x64 and save yourself the bother. That's the way development of GM is going these days. The setup guides Calamity posted make installation really easy now.
