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

<< < (2/5) > >>

Kangum:
im using .119 romset and i have no issues with superpac or mappy. have you tried deleting and recreating the mame ini.

SGT:
Looks like that other error regarding "malloc zero bytes" is a known issue with the mappy.c driver which both those two games you're having trouble with use.

Therefore fixing the ini errors will not help your issue.  Looks like you'll have to revert to an older version of Mame for those games or wait for a bug fix.

Thanks for the responses...  Hmmm... I have a .118u1 romset - if I upgrade MAME to .119u1 or whatever the current version is will it produce other errors since the romset wouldn't match the MAME version?  I guess I'd have to recompile and everything in order to save high scores... *sigh* I just got everything set up only to find out 2 of my favorite games won't load.  Any thoughts/recommendations?

 :cheers:

SGT:
I rarely have to update a rom for versions that close together.  Hey, that recompiling is good practice.  ;)

I would still make sure you generate a new mame.ini file to match your version of mame.

I don't have this folder.  Should I?  I'm going to try recreating the mame.ini but I don't know why or how it could be an older version...
