MAMEWorld Forums - News - How to get the HLSL to work.

You have to build MAME with this command. Warning: MAME will be huge. Almost 900mb size.

make SYMBOLS=1 -j5 or what ever. You need SYMBOLS=1 in the command.

After it is build then move it with the mame.sym or mame64.sym into the MAME folder.

Copy these files and then paste into the MAME folder.

gdb.exe
gdbserver.exe
libcharset-1.dll
libexpat-1.dll
libiconv-2.dll
python27.dll

I post the files above.

Use this command to run these together.

gdb mame64

or

gdb mame

You will see something like this.

Code:


D:\MAME>gdb mame64

(gdb)

To run a game. Type in this command after the (gdb).

run 1941 "or what ever that you want to run." Hit enter to run. You can run in a window mode. run 1941 -window

That all. This is how to bypass the HLSL crash.

You can do the same for the MESS as well.

Note: Don't do this if you don't have a HLSL crash at all. Happen to some people. It is random.

Here is example on the crash that I just now got.

Code:
