It seems 80070057 means that an invalid argument was sent to a d3d function. I'm not an expert (or even a novice) with d3d so I'm unable to advise further.

The main reason I use MAMEUI is because it doesn't open the stupid secondary cmd window in windowed mode. I haven't found a way to suppress that in regular MAME. ---------------------- I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.

I have to admit to not noticing an extra cmd window. I assume you're using -video auto or -video d3d currently? These require directx9 to be installed (not a standard feature with supported windows platforms). If this is all ok what happens if you try another video mode such as opengl or bgfx?

I'm defaulting to d3d so I can use HLSL scanlines because I'm not adept enough at editing bgfx to my liking. But opengl and bgfx do work aside from that. ---------------------- I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.
