wonko Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I was rolling along fine and then I changed themes and added the -cheat option in my configuration. (after putting the cheat.zip in the appropriate folder of course)Now when I launch Mame and start any game, I can hear the correct game plaing, but I have no picture. Just a blank screen staring blankly back at me. The NES and Atari 2600 emulators work fine. It's just Mame. I have attached my config ini, do I need to supply any more details?Windows 7 64bit AMD Athalon II X2 215 2.7 Gh 4G Ram Any suggestions?GameEx.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 You didn't indicate if the issue also occurs outside of GameEx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonko Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 The mame file version is 0.141.0.0I never ran it outside of gameex, I am not sure how to, sorry ( I will give it a try)Its the command line version and I don't know the proper syntax.I put 1 rom in the same directory as the mame.exe and typed "mame tetrisp" at the command prompt.It did not work.Mame had been working perfectly via Gameex 2 days ago.

Adultery Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 You can try runitgame.bat after MAME fails and see what it says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonko Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 I may have failed to mention that I am an idiot.My graphics card has a vga connected to my arcade monitor. A couple of days back, I ran an hdmi cable to my TV to watch a movie. It turns out the Mame was appearing on the TV screen, which I could not tell since it was turned off.All better now.Thank you for the help!

Draco1962 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 LOL! That's quite OK.. I once spent hours trying to figure out why my sound card would not work (checked for interrupt conflicts, etc.) and it was only when I opened my PC and started to remove the sound card that I discovered the speaker cable dropped from the jack in the rear. Apparently one of our cats had caught it and dislodged it partially. Will mark this one as resolved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
