MAMEDEV Forum

Hello ,

I am refreshing my Arcade cabinet with new Hardware an Software.

I am running WInPro 10 64bit with MAME 0.180 64-bit

Mame ran fine for a few hours, had it running and was setting up mGalaxy when the Mame64 .exe
suddenly decided to stop loading ..........

I get ... Black screen with spinning blue disc then ... Window with the following text...

MultipleArcade Machine Emulator has stopped working

A problem has caused the program to stop workingcorrectly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
available.

CLose Program

No further information is available and the program does not appear in Task Manager.

Have re installed everything from scratch ... virus scan done ...

Any Help would be great ..

Thanks

Jon


System specs

MSI H81m Pro VD
4G DDR3
Intel Pentium K G3258 3.2Ghz Dual Core
Onboard Iris graphics
PNY SSD 120G

Win Pro 10 64 Bit

Seems that a fresh install of win10 on a formatted disk will allow Mame to load but after a reboot
it wont run.

Here is the event log from Event Viewer if anyone can advise ?

Thanks

Jon

This is rather strange. I run Windows 10 Pro X64 as well and I've never had any issue running MAME. Perhaps make sure you have all the DirectX stuff installed and try running MAME from a USB flash drive rather than C:\ to see if that makes any difference.

Thanks for the advice ...

No change running from USB drive

I have a feeling that its something that Win10 is loading on first reboot after installation ...

Can anyone tell me what the Faulting process ID: 0xe5c actually is ?

I can now run Mame64 from CMD prompt as Admin ...

But it wont run from WIn10 GUI

When I do run Mame64 this way, it cant see the Roms in Rom folder ( I have to point it to the Rom directory )

Below is the output text from CMD Promt..... ( Without starting a rom )

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]

C:\Windows\system32>C:\Users\Arcade\Desktop\Mame\mame64

C:\Windows\system32>

For simplicity you might consider moving your mame folder to the root of your C:\ drive

C:\MAME

It looks like there's some issue with xAudio2 so try changing the sound to dsound. You can do this by accessing mame.ini and changing sound option to dsound

mame64 -sound dsound setname

Ok cool Ill try that .... but I have searched for mame.ini and I cant find it anywhere ?

It would likely say in your mame.ini Default (auto) for Windows 10 and some Windows 8 systems is the xaudio2 protocol. dsound is used elsewhere and may help your situation.

There is no mame.ini file on this PC anywhere ...

Any ideas ?

Just ran CMD line ... mame64 -cc

created mame.ini file

Making progress now .... after editing mame.ini....

Changing to dsound made no difference

If I force windowed mode from mame.ini then mame runs but shows audio errors when loading...

My problem seems to be arising when going from the win10 desktop to mame ui fullscreen mode ...

Thanks for help so far ...
