Now Galaga won't load!!! PLEASE HELP!! [NEW error message posted!]

(1/5) > >>

I've got MAME set up and running fine (I think).  I even compiled my own version of .118u1.  All of the games I've tried launching so far work fine except for Super Pac-Man and Mappy - that's it and I've tested about 700 games so far.  I've tried running "superpac", "superpcm", "mappy", etc. and both games get to 11% on the loading screen (I'm using MaLa) and then I get kicked back to the list of games.   Has anyone else experienced this (a game not loading)?

Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

Thanks!

You need to go to a command prompt and run mame from there so you can see what the actual error message is.  In other words at the C prompt in your mame folder type:
mame  superpac

I'll give this a shot and report back.  Thanks!

OK, I tried running Mappy from the cmd window and got this error:

Mappy and Super Pac-man are 2 games I just can't live without!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!   :cheers:

One of the problems is it looks like you're using a mame.ini file from an older version of mame.  I would go into the mame folder and rename your mame.ini file to something like mame.ini.old and then recreate a new one.

In the mame directory at the C prompt  type:

mame -cc

Then rerun again and see if all the errors go away or just the ones regarding unknown options.

Do you have a file called superpac.ini file in a mame subfolder called ini?
