What am I doing wrong? Mame refuses to load HLSL or BGFX settings....

[becausereasons]

Can anyone help me understand why my Mame refuses to enable default bgfx or hlsl?? I've tried editing the ini, and nothing works. I always have to go into slider and enable monitor 0, screen 0, and select it EACH and every time, for every game....

 

mame.ini

Try: Change writeconfig to 0 (zero).  Then, either in MAME's root folder and/or in the ini subfolder, delete all the rom_name.ini files.
