MAMEwah oddities - Won't launch successfully - Success!

<< < (4/6) > >>

Roughy:
Bah.

No dice.

Starting from scratch.  Anyone willing to IM me through this?  I'm beginning to think that maybe--since this is a generic, onboard video card, that there's problems communicating.  Maybe I should bust out the GeForceFX 5200oc w/256mb ddr in the closet and put it to work?  Can't hurt, at least.

Roughy:
Okay, some really good news...

I got Mamewah working!

Sort of.

I noticed in my hardware manager that my video card was still unrecognized.  I had to go through this minor hell with my audio drivers, and fortunately, still have all of my TigerDirect crap lying around, found the CD and installed the drivers.  Suddenly, the computer recognized what was going on and Mamewah launched perfectly, the custom FE and everything.

Looks outstanding!  You can imagine how I sorta lit up and did a fist pump "YEAH!"...

Until I tried to launch a game, and then nothing happened.  So, here's what's happening in the log file:

So that's what the log says and then nothing shows up on my screen.

Anyone?  Dammit, I'm so close!

Roughy:
Interesting

RetroACTIVE:
Glad to see you solved your video mode problem!

What is your rompath set to in mame.ini?

E:\MAME\roms

But for some reason, it doesn't show up as that in the log file; just shows the name of the rom itself; no pathing.
