Dave B. Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I wanted to get rid of card games and such, so I deleted my platform/arcade and reinstalled it using MAME 0.252. And of course I am now battling setting everything up again. When I run Arcade in Big Box, after I play a MAME game, I press ESC to exit, and I get a 40 second pause before it returns to the game start screen. Anybody know what I'm missing here?

Dave B. Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 What I mean by a pause, is it goes to a black screen after every quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Try disabling the Shutdown Screen. Tools, Manage, Emulators, MAME. Go to the Startup Screen section and uncheck Enable Game Shutdown Screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B. Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 No Joe that didn't fix it. It also does it in L B . Quits fine when run from the MAME app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B. Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 I found the issue, I reverted the MAME app to .233 . Thanks Joe for your attention! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 That seems odd that 0.252 has an issue when exiting and not 0.233. And the issue is only when playing through LB or BB. Regardless, glad you got it fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B. Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 I found B B or LB wasn’t the problem, it’s with MAME. All newer versions stall with the black screen for 35 seconds after I quit a game. Reinstall .233, works fine. Anybody have an idea why?

Dave Hi Dave There seems to be a problem with Mame 0.252 when using D3D in the OSD Video options Mine has the same issue if I use video auto But changing it to opengl or bgfx seems to make it close like normal I don't pretend to understand why but found info on the Mame github page about it Cheers Edit: Also only appears to be a problem on D3D if using full screen rather than a window Edit 2: Having made a back up of my mame.ini I then generated a new one, went through the new one line by line making any changes needed, eg roms path etc and then found it didn't matter what OSD video option I used the shut down screen returned to its original timing and speeds - again no idea why or what was causing the issue but found this works.
