MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: GNG crash issue.

> a habit of just letting a game run. I did this years ago with GNG and noticed that after like 6-8hrs. the game freezes.

Assuming the ‘save state’ feature is still an option these days. Enable the save state option to be able to create a save state file in hopes the freeze issue can be captured in some large size save state file if choosing to run the game attract mode option for 6 hours or more. And also try that with a different game such as Asteroids or Pac-Man too if same issue happens after running the game in attract mode for 6 hours or more.

With the advent of LUA engine scripts, it could be possible to have a lua script to automatically run GNG to play itself automatically without any human interaction involved, but that is something that will require searching around to see how that is accomplished. Users have done that in MAME before for various specific events such as Bob Zed has done with his video clips that are uploaded to YouTube when a new release takes place to show fixes and new supported games etc.
