Re: 3 MAME Errors
05/29/18 12:35 AM


I had the same problem a few months ago.

At first, I thought it has to do with Direct-X.
So I searched a few forums and found a solution:
If I turn off "Use hardware acceleration" from the DirectDraw tab from the Direct-X control panel, then MAME runs fine.

However, doing this breaks other games (i.e. MegaPlex) that I wanted to play.

Luckily, in the end, I found a solution that works for both.
Here's what I did and hopefully someone also find it useful:

In the MAME.ini file (if you don't have one, run "mame -cc" to create one),
in the "OSD VIDEO OPTIONS" section, change the video line to:

video opengl

Then save the MAME.ini file.
After that, MAME works.
