[RESOLVED] Mame game quits mid-game and exits to Gameex

[Jondard]

I have built a cocktail 2-player arcade table (using 2 easyget USB controllers) so my wife could play Ms Pacman.  She has now done so twice, each time the game quits mid-game and goes back to the Gameex play game screen.  I thought this was related to the game switching sides from player 2 to player 1 (it was the prior 2 times by best report), although I just now tried and it quit out of Ms Pacman during gameplay and not screen switch.  Almost like the escape key had been randomly pushed (no keyboard connected).  Frustrating.  I have downloaded the rom twice and the error continues.  Unless if I need to try an older one...

 

I have attached the gameex ini file, and the log file.

 

Help!  It may be that I need to invest more $$$ and get an Ipac2 (but also then have to figure out how to wire LED's).

I have seen some reviews indicating the easyget USB controller having a tendency to behave erratically and require constant tinkering.  Overall this doesn't seem widespread, but as a test have you tried just using GameEx with a keyboard and seeing if this problem still exists?

 

If so, then it may be worth seeing if something is steeling focus away from GameEx.

These older titles have pretty much been working without issue for a good while, as long as it's not some alternate version. then I wouldn't suspect that's the issue.

You have auto exit enabled for 5 minutes. This is under enable/disable featutres. This is a setting that you have set.

Please let us know what you have changed or that you have been messing when posting. You nearly laid out for new hardware there.

Wow, I don't remember setting that one...  Thank you!!!
