HUGE Mamewah crashes

[chuckaroo2000]

Hello all,

I have been using Mamewah for MAME and everything is great.

These are usually a hardware/driver issue.

Check the stop codes. Also do a Google search, you'll see it's a common problem.

On a side note, for a home system, ALWAYS go into Control Panel/System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery/Settings and UNCHECK the option "Automatically Restart". This is the FIRST thing I do after a fresh reload. I've seen systems get into an endless loop of BSOD...Reboot....BSOD...Reboot. The only way to stop them was a parallel install but that's an entirely different subject.

Good Luck,
John

Thanks for the response.  After reading the link it sounds like it could be a hardware problem, maybe faulty memory or something.  When adding new emulators to Mamewah I first set it up on another computer then when I got it going I install it on the cabinet.  I haven't had problems on the other computer.  I will have to study the link a bit harder but I sure hope it is a simple fix.......

Thanks again!

I found the problem.  I use PivotPro to rotate my screen.  IF my screen is rotated, Z26 and FCEUltra will crash the system IF used through Mamewah.  I guess this poses another problem....does this mean I can't use those emulators through Mamewah??  I need my screen flipped 180 to play.  I ordered my monitor backwards.  It's a cocktail cab.

Thanks

There are other NES hacked emulators out there for use in a cab...screenshotarchive.com has some I believe
