Couple of issues (bugs?) with MAMEUI 0.212
#383218 - 08/06/19 01:18 AM


Hey guys. I updated MAMEUI to 0.212 after many years. Last version I had was 0.150.

Anyway, there are a couple of behaviors that I'm not sure if it's on my end, or the frontend.

1) I go to Options -> Interface Options -> Snapshot Pattern and select "Gamename/Gamename+Increment". I hit save, and it works fine... until I close the frontend. Once I reopen MAMEUI, the snapshot option goes back to the default "Gamename/Increment". This is the only option that is not saving.

2) While playing a game, the config menu doesn't always retain the last spot I was in.
This is what I do: I hit TAB to open the config menu. I browse to "Player 1 controls" or to cheats (or to anywhere that's at least one level above). If you hit tab to close the config menu, and hit tab to open it again, you'll see that it stays in the config menu level you were in. But if you close the menu, and try to load or save a state, and then go back into the menu, it won't remember the last spot your were in and instead will be at the main menu.

Is there anyway to change that like it was before? When messing with cheats, specially games with a lot of cheats, it becomes very annoying having to scroll through the menu and a big list of cheats to go back to the one you were using after loading or saving a state.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how to use standard mame, so I guess I'll report that on their bug tracker.

Since we are on the topic of "bugs", I found another Bug in MAMEUI64 0.212.

When you play operation Thunderbolt, no matter where you aim, the shots all go to the upper right corner of the screen. The crosshair moves where you move it, but the shots always go to the same corner. This does not happen in official MAME. Can you look into it?

Fine here too. Did you do the usual troubleshooting steps and delete the *.cfg / nvram / *.ini files for it?

Hi!

I deleted all sta / nvram / cfg files for the game and it worked...but it froze after a minute or so of playing. The mouse moved out of the game window and the game froze (had to kill the process to quit)

Oh, And This time it was MAMEUI64 0.213, fresh off the oven!

More info: while playing, I can see the mouse pointer moving outside the mame window (it even moved a folder in windows explorer), shouldn't mame capture the mouse in an exclusive way???? should I run it only in full screen mode?

I'm not doing anything special. Play a game which uses the mouse, run it in a window. You will notice the mouse pointer moving outside the mame window, while you play, as if you were using your coputer normally.

Yeah, I think I'll set to full screen.

thx!

Oh, there's another bug I forgot to mention earlier, when you've been playing for a few minutes, you can see the fire in the crosshair, even after you stop firing.
