Thats your version of mame causing that. your 75% there anyway.

Yes. Your most likely issue will be an old gpu with it.

No. .net 1 apps will only run on version 1 of the framework.

No guarantees but you could try installing this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25150

I've not got anything more to add. Sorry.

If you wanted to start over something like this is enough: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beelink-Lake-N100-Processor-Computer-MINI-S12/dp/B0BZGPTLPG/ref=sr_1_4?sr=8-4&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d7e5a2de-8759-4da3-993c-d11b6e3d217f

What changed on the machine? I am assuming it is not connected to a network so would not get updates for anything? You could try and ensure GameEx is running as admin which is normally default on windows xp and controlled by the user account. This issue could potentially be caused by anti virus software. Anything installed?

For MAME there is this command line to set which display to launch on: -screen \\DISPLAY1 if that don't do it try -screen \\DISPLAY2

Had a thought. I can maybe try with the theme and plugins. Cheers

Unfortunately I cant duplicate this right now. Sorry. I tried with your gameex.ini and custommenu.ini

Custom menu too please. Ill try and have a look in a minute.

Hi, I realise this is an older post but there is an issue rendering videos on intel 12th gen and beyond with internal graphics. This is addressed in the latest version. There is a setting to use software video rendering under display settings. It seems intel dropped support for vmr 9 in there drivers. PS: The Unity version on windows is also an option if you need 2k or 4k video support. Anything 12th gen or above can handle hd 60fps in software. I tested an n100 last week.

If you get back to me i can try a patch for you, that may fix it for you..

What gpu is it? That is the issue. For $160 you could get one of these? I tested one two days ago. Works great. https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-Lake-N100-Desktop-Computer-Ethernet/dp/B0BYJ9BC15/ref=sr_1_4?sr=8-4

All new and updated system databases. The GameEx databases were no longer maintained and had not been updated since 2018 so I took it upon myself to scrape new versions using more modernly available sites and data. All the databases are now included with the installer and no longer need to be downloaded. The installer will overwrite existing databases but I can't think this will be a problem for anyone.

i deleted the login logs. See how you get on now.

Your account keeps getting temporarily banned because of accessing from multiple ip addresses. I keep unbanning it.

Ill test here, make sure its still working for me. I meant you could run the two mames concurrently. just different exe for pinballx.

I normally use vanilla mame. it will normally work in the same folder. Worth downloading and trying. I still think it is supposed to be mame.ini without the ui in the filename. What folder are your roms in?

Sorry, i edited my post. i think its always done the extraction. its a side effect. It does normally work though. Have you got a mame.ini and the correct rom path in it?
