Help with command line MAME config

[Jedi Master Matt]

Greetings gang,

I've finally gotten my feet wet with command line MAME and I've got one problem I've not been able to resolve.

It involves the set-up of my Direct3D.   I'd like to enable D3D and the effect of "sharp".

In command line MAME, I get a "white screen" whenever I load a game when I've selected any of the D3D effects (sharp/scan25/etc).   In MAME32, I'm able to get D3D effects working just fine.   So my guess is that it's something I'm overlooking in the cfg file.

For sake of clarity, I'll post my Windows and D3D settings below:

### Windows video options ###
autoframeskip           0
frameskip               0
waitvsync               0

d3deffect               sharp
# d3dcustom             <NULL> (not set)
# d3dexpert             <NULL> (not set)

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Not sure what's up but:

Try looking in your mame32.ini file in the mame32/ini folder.  That should have the mame.ini setting.  

Compare that with your official mame mame.ini file.
