Title: VMMAKER - Freezes
Post by: philexile on January 09, 2016, 06:56:03 pm

Hello,

Whenever I try to load an INI with VMMaker without generating modelines from Mame, the program crashes. Please see the image below:

I've also tried to delete the modelines from the driver, but that also freezes the program and I have to hard reboot. When I do, none of the new modelines have been installed.

Could you please advise?

Thank you

Something very similar happened to me too, but only once.
Left it for a while, and nothing happened, so i rebooted PC and there was no driver present...
Reinstalled driver, and everything was ok.

How many times did you try to do this?

Please download beta 5. I added a delay to avoid this problem (not documented in the change log).

Basically when restarting the device the program first turns it off, then it turns it on again. I added a delay in the middle. If this keeps causing problems I'll need to make this feature optional, and go back to the continuous add-modes->restart hell cycle. This is only needed for legacy cards however.

Sledge, if you see the issue again, instead of reinstalling the driver, go into device manager and re-enable the video card manually.

It's fixed - I installed couple time different modelines and VMMaker always after some time correctly resets video card.

I reinstalled the driver, along with beta 5 and that resolved the issue. Thanks!
