degetalwolf Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Hi Guys, Hoping for some help. I've managed to get BB working with most emus but I'm hitting issues with MAME. It won't start at all, even outside of BB/LB. All I get is a glimpse of a command prompt and then nothing. I've tried installing the latest driver for my graphics (a 1060), as well as a few other things I've seen, but still nothing. Open to any ideas from anyone as I'm quite stumped!

Does your romset version match your emulator version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degetalwolf Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Yep - I've downloaded 0220 today and the romset I have is the 0220 ROMs (split) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

degetalwolf Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 That's the issue really - I can't even get into MAME to do that But the roms are all in the MAME/roms folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

degetalwolf Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 No - it displays for a fraction of a second a command prompt window and then does nothing. So it does nothing at all, randomly. I downloaded the mame0220b_64bit version earlier - I assumed that was the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's strange as it should start MAME with the builtin UI without requiring any roms. Can you open a Command Prompt or Power Shell and navigate to the MAME directory and run Quote ./mame64.exe -v and post the results. (or see if you see the error) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

degetalwolf Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 All working guys. Did a hard shutdown after sorting the ini and I think that resolved it, as that was the only real change made I think. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unable to create the Direct3D device (8876086C) You can try using the opengl renderer. Open mame.ini with a text editor. Under [# OSD VIDEO OPTIONS] set [Video] to [opengl].
