kalimah Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Ok. I have a good fullset of roms. I launch mameui. Everything is great so far. I pointed to the rom directory and audited that folder. Most everything is green and available. When I double click to play..... nothing. I ran sfc /snannow and everything was great. I did receive the "Unable to create Direct3d device (8876086C)" and "Unable to initialize Direct3d 9". Fatal error: Unable to complete windows creation. On my Windows 10 machine, all graphic drivers are up to date for my Zotac 980ti Amp! Extreme. No updates are needed for my Windows 10 also. This is stopping me from creating my arcade system. Mame64. I created .ini file by creating shortcut. I set rompath to the desired location. NOTHING. When I double click mame64.exe, isn't there supposed to a GUI that shows? When I double click it, a window pops up for a second and closes.....nothing else. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Is your mame.ini file in the main folder where the mame executable is or is it in the \ini folder ? If it's in the \ini folder move it out to the main folder where the mame executable is. As for your error code I did quick google search and found this http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=130463.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalimah Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 I ran the dxwebsetup as instructed and it states I'm all up to date. I have .ini file with .exe. This is mindboggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoemorn Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 sad to see no resolution on this, even a year later... i'm running into the same wall thought i'm on an amd setup using a Ryzen 3 3200g (APU) However, like @kalimah, I have ran the dxwebsetup and allegedly am up to date. I had found that using this command line does open mame : mame64 -window but trying fullscreen (nowindow) would fail with the direct3d errors described in prior posts so, while writing this i tried a couple of things and apparently now have it working, or at least working better: 1. open command line, windows start button, then CMD, and use type "CD" + "your directory path to mame" to change directory (sorry i'm typing all this out but some newbies are unfamiliar) 2. in the command line, once your in the mame directory (ie c:\users\you\launchbox\emulators\mame or whatever yours is) then enter "mame64 -window" and hopefully that at least starts up mame for you. 3. Use your mouse to open up "Configure Options" then "Video Options" and change your Video mode from Auto to "opengl" - i didnt play around with any other settings but of course you can. Hit Return to previous menu and Save Configuration. then you can Esc to exit. 4. In launchbox try it again. After doing the above, i've at least got Mame coming up and loading a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
