New MAMEUI INI (.171) - Multiple Screens?
#350694 - 02/26/16 01:48 AM


Maybe I'm missing it, but is there a way to toggle on more than 1 screen?

I deleted all of my INI files from previous versions of MAME and now whenever I open MAME in MAMEUIFX, toggle "numscreens" to 2 (or just edit the MAME.ini created via MAMEUI), it loads up okay to the game selection screen.

However, when I go to boot a game I get stuck on a black screen...
"Loading Machine 0%"

Why?

Is anyone able to set numscreens to "2" in their MAME.ini on .171 and get past "Loading Machine 0%"?

It seems to be a bug when d3d is combined with -numscreens.

If you change -video to gdi or bgfx it will work.

All games. Clean install of MAME171. Win10. Video set to 'Auto'. It does it w/wo MameUIFX171.

I see no option for numscreens in the new MAME gui user interface.

Still testing on my end...but it could be a D3D conflict.

It's in the OSD Video Options of your mame.ini
If you want to use auto or d3d without a crash then numscreens must be set to 1


Code:

# OSD VIDEO OPTIONS
#
video d3d
numscreens 1
window 0
maximize 1
keepaspect 1
unevenstretch 1
waitvsync 0
syncrefresh 0

Yes thank you. That's what I found today too.
