Why is MAME crashing?
« on: July 11, 2006, 04:14:03 pm »
It seems that after about 1 min. of playing Do! Run Run, it decides to exit. Also, the picture no longer stretches out to the edge of the screen. What's goin' on?

You know better then this.  You have to give us some information

MAME version?
ini, cfg files?
Have you done anything different, like installed a newer version, etc?


Anything besides "my car doesn't work fix it."

Assuming it doesn't crash out, it sounds like you might have frames_to_run set to something in mame.ini.

Also screen not stretching sounds like hwstretch is turned off (again in mame.ini) - perhaps someone has been fiddling with your mame.ini file...
