Re: MAME on Linux Mint: Game opens and then closes
09/05/21 01:43 AM


Thanks for trying to help. I searched for that daimakai.ini but couldn't find it anywhere. What I did find was a mame.ini, so I deleted that but it screwed the emulator up, making it unable to create .ini's anymore. I didn't know how to fix that so ended up reinstalling the whole OS.

Then after recovering things, I did some testing and found out what was the culprit. Seems like changing anything in a game's "Configure Machine" kills it and then it never runs again. Not sure why this only happens in Linux, you can do it on Windows just fine. So I ultimately had to reinstall the system twice in the same day (lol). Good thing I have a SSD and Linux is lightweight.

Lesson learned: never mess with "Configure Machine" on Linux ever again.
