DOS76 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Just go the latest version and its weird that when I add it to LB it works to launch the games without any issues but if I try to open it without a game (from both the right click context list in LB and straight up in File Explorer) it just flashes on screen and then disappears. Anyone else seeing this issue? Quote
neil9000 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Did you really mean 0.164? Cause thats a old ass mame and maybe has compatibility issues with more recent sets? Quote
DOS76 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 No I really mean 0.186 don't know how I f'ed that up so bad can I edit the title Quote

DOS76 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 Well I installed and then copied a bunch of stuff from my previous build to the new folder so I did another fresh install and it works so its something in my settings I guess. Quote

Oh weird, that's exactly what i do when i upgrade. Well at least its working now, ill remember that for when i get round to updating mine. Quote
DOS76 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 Yeah now I just copied only my .ini files and it isn't working again so something in there is breaking it. Quote
neil9000 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 OK i edted the title just in case other people are having the same issue to make it easier to find. Quote
DOS76 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 It was the plugin.ini file that was breaking it for some reason. Quote
neil9000 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 What is that used for then? I use MAMEUI 64 so don't mess with the .ini files. All i normally do is copy over the artwork folder and the cfg folder for all my game specific controller bindings. Quote
DOS76 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 It turns on the plugins it has a list of them in the ini file and either a 0 or 1 value for on and off. That's what a lot of the settings in MAME.ini are just 1's and 0's Quote
neil9000 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Oh ok. Yeah i just toggle that stuff in the UI, but obviously it's being saved to the .ini, so i will still have to be careful when i update also. Quote
DOS76 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 If console is set to 1 in the plugin.ini the UI will not launch I had it edited before to 1 even though I wasn't sure what it actually did. Quote
