9.96 bug?

[bkenobi]

I've been playing around with the new features for this new version and may have found a bug. After using the cab for a while, I found that when I went back to the main screen I'm getting the update bar flashing on and off. This doesn't keep me from moving the selection, it just looks bad. I don't know what would cause this, so I thought I would just post and see if there's anything I can try on my end.

I'm currently updating the list, but when I'm done with that I'll try resetting the system to see if I get the same issue.

You mean the MAME list update bar?

If so maybe its failing updating the list at some point. Do what you said, and if it persists post the log.

PS: we are on 9.99 now.

Wow, I didn't realize. Well, whatever the current version is. Also, I've been looking through the list and it looks like my attract mode is on the fritz. It says this in the log:

13:23:36.1  4/4/2009:  Running: cmd.exe /c C: C:\Emu\MAME\MAME.exe blockout  -input_idleexit 300
13:23:51.8  4/4/2009:  Returning From Attract Mode

Best I can figure, -input_idleexit is no longer an option in MAME? If I run the command on it's own (mame.exe -input_idleexit 300), I get "Error: unknown option: -input_idleexit". Does this need attention? I'm running 0.130 currently.

Looks like its using AdvanceMAME settings.

That's what I thought, but I'm pretty sure AdvanceMAME is turned off. I guess I'll have to verify, but I don't even have the AdvanceMAME stuff set up anymore...I don't think. Guess I need to check on it again
