A required .DLL file, DDRAW.DLL, was not found
« on: November 16, 2004, 10:53:02 pm »
Help!  Mame is broken!  For some reason I keep getting this error message when I try to run Mame.  I don't know what's wrong - it just stopped working properly.  I'm currently not using a front end - I'm just using (in Windows 98) Run --> command.com --> cd c:\mame --> mame [game name] and I keep getting this error message.  It was working fine a week ago...  Any thoughts?

Thats the DirectDraw run time library.
Try getting it from the M$ site and reinstall it.  Its free.

Try the linky
