Hi!
For some reason, the release notes for MAME 0.257 claim that Arkanoidpe has been promoted to "working", but when you start the game, all you get is a "BAD HARDWARE" message and that's it...
Maybe it is because you were mixing/using MAMEUI (which latest version was based om MAME 0.248) and/or 'mame64.exe' (which the official MAME executable has not been called anymore for a long time now. The last version that used that name was 0.228, released in Jan 2021.), instead of (or in combination with) the latest MAME 0.257 (available from https://www.mamedev.org/ ) ?jvidal wrote: ↑Tue Aug 01, 2023 5:51 am I deleted cfg and sta file for the game. I'll check if there's a nvram file as well
edit:
deleted the mcu.mcu file, no luck, same error.
The set passes the rom check, both in ClrMame and in MAMEUI. also mame64 arkanoidpe -verifyroms checks out ok.
edit 2: after a few attempts, now it works. Weird.
