Game crashes

[R-DUB]

I had a friend over that wanted to play some games and we found that 2 games always crash.

I have only noticed this problem (so far) when we tried playing 1941 and Mortal Kombat, all other games we have played worked perfect.

I have windows completely hidden using the instant sheller. (Windows home on an old Dell)

I have tried 2 versions of MAME with same result (Mame32 and MAME)

Both my ROM sets and MAME are up to date sets.(0.139)

Both of these games run fine outside of GameEX on same machine.

Is anyone else having an issue with these, and is there a way to correct?

Thanks

If it runs outside of GameEx then it should run inside as well. I'm sure it's something simple. Please troubleshoot by following step 4 of Tempest's guide found here. Using the runitgame.bat file will help in determining why it's not loading those roms.

Maybe check your paths if you have more than one copy of Mame, or roms on your computer.

Okay here is what you asked for.

I am only running one version of MAME, I have just tested with different versions of it and got same results.

Just weird that these 2 that I have tried playing crash and all others work fine.

Sorry. I guess I should have been more specific. What you need to do is troubleshoot with Step 4B. I don't know what the results of your window is so you need to do that in order to see the error given when running those games. If you need help then post the results or take screenshot of the results.

I got it figured out.

What I did was delete the NVRAM and Diff files of these games and they now work.

I do remember having a problem before, and it was due to updating MAME and ROMS sets and leaving these the old files in place.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the dumb questions before I actually thought about the problem.

Thanks again.

No problem. Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for posting the solution for users that may run into the same issue.
