madangelo Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Hi, I'm suddenly having a problem when my MAME wheel starts up directly to my favorites. I select the MAME wheel and the screen goes black. I can hear sounds and can blindly select a game, but then returns to a black screen. I can select the GENRE of ALL GAMES, which displays correctly -- but if I go to VIEW FAVORITES again black screen. I checked the FAVORITES file and it looks ok -- I even removed all but 2 games just to make sure the file wasn't somehow corrupted. This has been working fine -- not sure what would have changed. Any suggestions? Thanks!
gigapig Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I may be able to tell you why it starts straight to your favourites (See the highlighted section from the HS Mame.ini), why it is black I'm not sure, perhaps that mame.ini is corrupt and causing problems with artwork [exe info] path=J:\Roms and Emulators\Emulators\Mame 0167\ rompath=\ userompath=false exe=mame.exe romextension= parameters= searchsubfolders=false pcgame=false winstate=HIDDEN hyperlaunch=true [filters] parents_only=true themes_only=false wheels_only=false roms_only=false [themes] use_parent_vids=false use_parent_themes=false animate_out_default=false reload_backgrounds=true [wheel] alpha=.15 small_alpha = 1 style=vertical speed=med pin_center_width = 500 horz_wheel_y=700 vert_wheel_position=right y_rotation = right norm_large=480 norm_small = 230 vert_large = 400 vert_small = 240 pin_large = 500 pin_small = 200 horz_large = 240 horz_small = 150 letter_wheel_x = 800 letter_wheel_y = 384 text_width = 700 text_font = Style2 small_text_width = 260 large_text_width = 400 text_stroke_size=6 text_stroke_color=0x000000 text_color1=0x00BFFD text_color2=0xFFFFFF text_color3=0x00BFFD color_ratio=139 shadow_distance = 0 shadow_angle = 45 shadow_color=0x000000 shadow_alpha = 1 shadow_blur = 0 [pointer] animated=true x=975 y=384 [video defaults] path= [sounds] game_sounds=true wheel_click=true [navigation] game_jump=50 use_indexes=false jump_timer=400 remove_info_wheel=false remove_info_text=false use_last_game=true last_game=inthunt random_game=false start_on_favorites=false [special Art A] default=false active=true x=512 y=700 in=0.4 out=0.4 length=3 delay=0 type=bounce start=bottom [special Art B] default=false active=true x=612 y=740 in=0.4 out=0.4 length=3 delay=0 type=fade start=top [special Art C] active=true x=512 y=384 in=0 out=0 length=3 delay=10 type=fade start=left [Game Text] game_text_active=true show_year=true show_manf=true show_description=true text_color1=0xffffff text_color2=0x0099cc stroke_color=0x000000 text_font=Style1 text1_textsize=26 text1_strokesize=7 text1_x=32 text1_y=610 text2_textsize=36 text2_strokesize=8 text2_x=30 text2_y=640
madangelo Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 Hi, I actually want the MAME wheel to start with favorites -- so it is set to TRUE, but suddenly when I select the MAME wheel it goes to a black screen. Mame itself works fine, and if I set START_ON_FAVORITES to FALSE the Mame wheel works fine, but if I then select VIEW FAVORITES again goes black. Very strange. As I mentioned, MAME works fine when I can actually select a game.
madangelo Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 So it seems like the culprit is the HyperspinStartupScript. If I end this task, everything works fine. Not sure why this is suddenly causing a problem.
