Hey all and thanks for reading..after endless hours of work, i have a hyperspin system i am happy with. so ive begun transferring my hyperspin system across a few pcs to use for projects...They all work, but one pc i have, running windows 7 64 bit, is running everything fine, but whenever i load ANY rom on any system, i only get a black screen.. the sound plays, i can insert coins/use inputs.. but just black screen..Systems with bezels show the bezels and backround, but the game screen remains black..Im using mame and mess for everything else.  im assuming its some type of global setting? Ill post my log, but that just shows normal operation.. any other file i can include to help you take a look? thank you very much

Without reading your log it sounds like all of your roms are zipped and you have not enabled 7z in your global emulator settings...  or at least for each system using zipped roms.

the games are fully loading though.. i can play them, just cant see them.. also, this is the same drive i use on 5 other computers, and they play fine.. Alternatively i tossed in a cheap video card i have with hdmi out which is a plus for me... the games now work, BUT my console emulators all lag drastically... nes, snes, sega, gameboy, etc, the sound lags and doubles itself up.. Funny thing is, i have another pc that runs mame in hyperspin fine, but also lags on the consoles.. Is there a setting in mess i should check for thats making all my console games echo like crazy and lag? 

 

bullet points to clear my confusing rambling

pc without video card loads and plays all games, but only shows a black screen

with cheap video card, games show and play, but mess/console games lag drastically

 

again, this is the 2nd pc that plays mame fine, but lags in mess big time... a simple video option im missing perhaps?

hmm.. so i went thru the fundamental trouble shooting, and now realized mame is not showing outside of hyperspin.. never had that problem so didnt bother checking..  here are my pc specs 
 
HP E2180 
dual cpu @ 2.00 ghz
3 gb ram 
64 bit
 
this janky video card is a pegatron rv710fh
 
here is my mame.cfg as well... ive never had mame give me a black screen.. i tried it with waitforvsync on and off..
