Broken system after RocketLauncher upgrade?

[dummel]

Hello, i am receiving the error;

There was an error waiting for the window "ahk_class MAME" to become active. Please check that you have the correct version emulator installed for this module......

Before this appeared i had a complete working system and was finishing up and decided to allow the rocketlauncher to upgrade as it has been popping up every time i opened the UI program.

once i got the error i thought 'bummer', but didn't think it was a big deal because i had a backup of the entire system. (NICE!)

so i copied over my backup that i made before the update to take the system back before the upgrade.

i try the system and i am getting the same error? (Uh oh!)

ok, take a deep breath and run the installers and create an entirely new install using these tutorials;

everything should be cool right? NOT! i am getting the same error (what the what?!?)

so, yes.. i am lost.. also, its gonna take me some time to regrow the hair i have pulled out in these past few hours.

 

I am using;

mame0175b_64bit

hyperspin133

RocketLauncher v1.0.1.5 (Full Install)

I guess i am old school; i really perfer text based tutorials over videos ( vids tend to be way too chatty for me ).

anyway, i appreciate the help here and will work thru the video and report back.

thanks
