Re: MAME 0.181 7zip self-extractables files don't run - Win10 x64

You saved me, Tafoid! :D I really didn't know about this thing to open those self-extractables with 7zip... I didn't try because to me they were simply .EXE files, which normally you wouldn't open this way you suggested. :oops: And yeah, in Win10 I have that UAC thing too which protects when you cli...

MAME 0.181 7zip self-extractables files don't run - Win10 x64

That's it. I tried everything: Ran as administrator, re-downloaded them, turned off antivirus, safe mode, checked if Windows had suspended the threads etc. Nothing. Both x64 and x86 versions. When I click them, the icon even changes to working mode but nothing happens. Weird, to say the least. Given...

Re: Extra INIs and DATs not working on MAME

Thanks for the help, Tafoid. I read about that Lua thing on what's new texts, however never imagined that I had to do that procedure to use the support files. But, once I turned the option on, they ran only after I put the dats and ini folders in MAME main directory. When they were in another direct...

Extra INIs and DATs not working on MAME

Hi, guys. I'd like to know if someone could give me a hint to resolve this problem. Texts from INIs and DATs are not being showed in "Info" tab and in the left list field on MAME 0.179. The paths are correct in ui.ini as well on the MAME settings (under "Folder setup"). The files...

Re: MAME 0.178 doesn't work

I did it! Thanks to Anime-niac, a user from MAMEWorld Forums, I could run MAME finally. The problem was that I didn't have DirectX 9.0 installed. I thought the version 12.0 already installed in my PC was enough to make it run, but unfortunately I was wrong. However, I got only the web installer vers...

Re: MAME 0.178 doesn't work

Unfortunately this is not possible for now... and I remember to running it flawlessly in the recent past from external ones... What changed? Would there be some settings to get this properly?

MAME 0.178 doesn't work

Hello to all. After a long time with no MAME using, I got 0.178 and all the ROMS and CHDs and very happy for MEWUI have been merged with the project. Anyway, with all settings ready, when I start the executable I get only a black screen showing "Initializing" and games don't load... I was ...

Re: [0.176] Loading console roms

Although this blog post I've linked below is many years old, a lot of what's written there is still correct and very much relevant even today. Perhaps it can possibly answer other questions you might have. http://mamedev.emulab.it/etabeta/2010/05/11/documenting-software-at-last/ Wow! Very nice cont...
