-Running: cmd.exe /c D: D:\Mame\mame.exe 1943u -rompath I:\Emulation\Roms\Mame Roms;I:\Emulation\Roms\Mame CHD -bezel -artwork_directory artworkgameex

-artwork_directory has changed to -artpath since 141u4. disable bezel in attract mode and game mode

^^good to know in advance!

I don't use beta builds, so perhaps this will be fixed before the next stable build comes out.

Mesk: Quick question for ya - did you re-run update list in GameEx after you compiled the latest interim update?

UPDATE:disabling bezels certainly did the job,thanks flocke28!!

so am I right to assume that this is a gameex problem,and maybe Tom should be notified?

[Adultery]

Yes. He will have to change the CMD that GameEx passes for artwork.

[AlphaUMi]

Yes. He will have to change the CMD that GameEx passes for artwork.

And for users who want to stay with older versions of MAME?

[Stilkdog]

I use MAMEUI over the default MAME and I don't have this issue.

[Adultery]

@Alpha: Tom can make GameEx do what it needs to based on MAME revision (like he currently does for V1 and V2 bezels) so any changes shouldn't matter if you use an older version.

@Stilk: you use a beta build? Or a 'U' build rather?

[Draco1962]

I haven't compiled the latest 141u4 build but have found that the UI seems to be less problematic as of late than the cmd line MAME builds. Not sure why unless there is something in the GUI that does a better job of handling the bezels than vanilla.

[mesk]

I know as of right now there is a problem with the mameui exe something about it eating up 2.2 gb of memory,thats why the ui u4 binaries arent posted yet

[Draco1962]

Huh? When you compile you use the diff files for the interim builds for the version. Not sure I am following you. Anyways, the 0.142 release should be out in a week or two so it won't matter - just gonna download that instead of compiling for the u builds and compile the hi score fix accordingly to rid the nag screens and enable hi score support.

[Tom Speirs]

Its in place for the next release.

[Tom Speirs]

PS: If -artpath does not stay in place for the proper release please let me know.

And yes it does check MAME version so will still work for older versions.

I believe it's using U3 still due to the memory leak? So that's why I probably don't have the problem.

[mesk]

Its in place for the next release.

Thank you Tom!!!

What I was saying Draco was that there is a problem with mameui 141u4 right now,there is a memory leak.Just for the record,I have never had any problems with bezels until now and I have always used CL mame
