Playing in a MAME cabinet with XinMo button/joystick controllers.
Hi.
I successfully set everything up with MAMEUIFX .175 and RocketLauncher and HyperSpin and everything worked perfectly. For several days even.
Then when launching gtfore06 (Golden Tee 2005 complete) I exited out of the emulator because sometimes it picks a really large bezel and the effective screen size of MAME is much smaller. I was just intending to re-launch the game, but it didn't work correctly.
MAME did launch, but the screen never switched from the fade screen to MAME. I had to open the cabinet and hit the ALT+TAB key on the laptop (the brain of the cab) to get the screen switched to the MAME screen.
And now every time I launch a game, it does this. I even rebooted the laptop and it acts the same.
Also, before I was seeing the startup video for HyperSpin when it launched. Now, it just launches directly to the emulators wheel. No HyperSpin intro video.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I didn't see anything unusual in the logs. If I don't hit ALT+TAB, eventually the fade screen says something like "waiting for MAME.ahk screen to become active" and that it failed or something. I never updated any of the settings by hand. Looking at Task Manager in Windows, there are no orphaned processes (like HyperHQ or anything).
How can I get RL to launch the games and switch to the MAME screen once the game roms unzip?
Thanks
Chad.
