[RESOLVED] MAME 0.263 Not Loading

When I try to update my MAME list I get the following error message:

19:36:30.68  3/10/2024:  MAME list update took 0 minutes, 1 seconds.
19:36:30.68  3/10/2024:  Attract Mode Re-Enabled

19:36:32.98  3/10/2024:  ERROR: Listinfo.xml not MeCreated

Any idea how i can fix this? I have attached my log and config file.

 

Thank you.

Did you just recently upgrade your version of MAME? The error may be a variation of an issue that occurs if the app or individual doesn't have full rights to the folder containing the file.

Also, are you able to locate the listinfo.xml file on your system? I am running MAME 0.258 and have done a full PC search and cannot find anything close with the same file name.

Hi,

I upgraded to MAME 0.263 about 3 weeks ago. It was working fine up until 3 days ago. I was not able to fine the listinfo.xml file. I'm familar with the mame.xml file,but wasn't sure what that was. I will check the permission on the MAME.exe.

 

Thank you

Any other changes occur within the last three days?

Do any of the ROMS launch directly from MAME since the error occured?

i tested and did find an issue with mame update and am uploading 18.61 in a nminute. However, i am not able to duplicate your issue. The unknown operating system looks weird too. Seems you are getting an issue reading standard input from a process. no idea why. sorry.

Hi,

I did a few test with MAME stand alone. I test MAME and MAMEUI. I was able to get both to launch standalone and play games. I did a clean install of MAME and still got the same issue with GameEx. I also tried downgrading to an older  version of MAME. It might be a bug with windows. I'm going to test the update and see if I have better luck. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Thank you again!

Ok getting closer now. I did the update and it's able to read MAME now, but when i go to launch a game from GameEx it exits back to the selection menu

Update I was able to get it working. I removed the MameOptions=video d3d -noswitchres -triplebuffer. Back to normal.

 

Thank you again for all your help!
