Street Fighter IV fatal error on launch

[Queeg]

Hello all,

First off my cab is almost done I will post in the cabinet gallery as soon as I can so keep an eye out.

I have Street Fighter IV running through game ex. The game will open fine, I see the game launch and the window go fullscreen, but then it quickly returns to game ex and crashes with an unhandled error (-2)

I am using a -play suffix at the end of my shortcut so that the launcher window for street fighter never appears. This way I don't need to send any keys to launch the game.

The game runs flawlessy outside of game ex launching off of the same shortcut that I have game ex trying to launch.

Anyone have a working config they can post? Although I don't think it's my config because like I said I can see the game launching fine.

Thank you and please help in my New Years party dilemma!

Try putting this in your SF directory and run it, if it works make your shortcut from it.

After hours of trial and error I figured this out. The game will not run unless the shortcut is on the same drive as the .exe. So like Brian said I threw the shortcut into the sfIV install folder and it works great.

I've noticed now after some hours of play on my cabinet over new years that some mame games are missing from my game ex list that were there before? In particular Empire City and Solar Warrior are gone, but the roms are still in my mame folder. Was there an update to game Ex that may have hidden these games? I rebuilt my mame game list but they are still missing.

Both those games are showing up on my system and I upgrade GameEx with every release. So maybe that can narrow down some other possibilities for you.

I found out that by disabling filters, Empire City appears. I went and checked my mame32 and Empire city appears as a child of parent "1931 bootleg?" So obviously the bootleg in the parent was what was holding it back, although I never had it not show before and I have not changed filters at all, ever.

As for solar warrior, it appears with its non U.S. name , Xain'd Sleena. I also checked mame32 and solar warrior appears as a child of Xain'd Sleena. Any idea on how to get solar warrior to display in the mames game list? I know where to find it with its new name but anyone that's over would never even think to look at Xain'd Sleena

Thanks for the help frequency.

If your filters are somehow keeping it from showing, you could always add that rom name to the "Don't Filter these ROMS" option in the Advanced MAME Settings.
