okay, so last night I tried playing around with different things. I could get 173 to work but I could never get HLSL to come on with 175. I tried the raster.ini method and also just enabling it in the GUI.

Thank you guys. I was able to get it to work by installing the DirectX 9C. Not sure why it didn't work before because I know DirectX was installed but maybe not all of it was; either way works now thank you, thank you !

B2K24: I did try manually enabling both OpenGL w/ GLSL and D3D w/ HLSL. I did run DXDIAG so I would think Direct X is installed. I was able to confirm I have PS5.1 I think it was in the Intel drivers that it said that. krick: I can try and download that package when I get home and see what happens. ...

okay so i downloaded 175 and nothing has changed with hlsl. it still isn't working. the game loads but but not with hlsl. I have enabled it in the video settings. The slider controls don't show any hlsl settings to change either.

okay, so I have an xarcade set in the mame.ini and the raster.ini file I was using had custom settings in it. Could I reuse the INI or is this something I should just start from scratch on?

Also do I worry about updating my roms from 173 to 175?

Not sure if this is the best place to post this or not, but I thought I would try. I went from having mame .173 running on a AMD 1090t with a R7950 GPU to a machine that has an i3-6300 using the intigrated Intel HD 530 GPU. This was not a fresh install; I copied over the folders since it was already...
