I read a m$ one once, never again. Basically they own you.

Fill1.bin has a problem. It loads up, then it pauses itself. Pressing F4 changes it to Run for a microsecond and it goes back to pause.

Here is a rather lengthy dialog between a mamedev and mr foley (from Aaron's site)

In case you don't know, there are companies out there that provide a rating service, usually for big companies. Instead of the company's webmaster having to decide what sites to ban, they simply buy a list from a rating service, and it gets updated automatically, once a month. My first ever forum (a rom site) allows swearing, and has no filter. And..the rating service placed it in an "Adult" category, causing it to be blocked at my workplace.... and probably many others world-wide. 1emu is permitted... at the moment. Would you like it to suddenly get blocked? Would you find that inconvenient? I think so.

Welcome all new people to this wonderful place. I only have one rule: You must click on the "Attack User" link on the left of the screen. (under the green stripe) .

OK the switch to GDI works: [20050222.06:33:55] FAIL: OpenGL: Texture image creation. [20050222.06:33:55] GPU: Using GDI. Armwrestler gave some bad results: ARM LDM/STM does nothing THUMB ALU gives BAD CNVZ Rd for ADD,ASR,LSL,LSR,ROR THUMB LDM/STM gives no results As Federelli said, closing a rom causes a crash Dragging a file onto the exe works now. Double-clicking on a gba rom still has the path error.

If I drag a file onto the exe, it gives the usual error, unable to initialise see log.txt, but no log.txt is created.

I just downloaded the latest version, and unfortunately nothing works.

yeah I saw that on mame.net it's a sad day but so typical of American businessmen.

I tried two of those sites mentioned in the article, and no popups with IE, strange? The article had a link to another page with a program to modify the hosts file to stop ads. Now that is great, got rid of those pesky google ads, and pages load up a lot faster now. yay!

Prank calls are childish.

Most of that stuff was already selected. It takes 30 minutes before the demo runs. Never mind, I'll add this one to the growing list of failures. Thanks for your help.

I had a play with the cfg files, and now the other computer (the one with win95 + trident card) has good graphics. But it's sooooooo slow, much slower than mame. Any way to speed it up, as I understand that Zinc should be faster than Mame.

no error; it said it was loaded ok

This pc has Intel 810 Graphics Hub (its onboard). mame works ok. The other pc has a Trident 3D Image 9750 everything else has good graphics

I decided to run it via the network on this pc which has win2kpro, direct-x 9.0c, and opengl. Zinc ran horribly slow, and the graphics were even worse! Here is a sample:

Mame sets - yes Direct-x 8.0 is in the machine Open GL - how do I check this? How do I take a screenshot?

I'm trying to get Zinc running. The graphics are totally corrupted on every game, but the FPS counter is fine. Any ideas? Next, I used ZincGui, and it says all the roms are missing, but if I start the game it runs - just bad graphics (as above).

It is crazy. I know for certain, that I will die before getting anywhere near 10k posts. Or even 1k posts.

how do you know that SP1 causes the problem?

I've tried kawaks 148b/dev, 150, 152, 153 with no problems at all on win95. 146 crashes a lot.

It's funny that EVOL posted the question here, when I answered his question on another forum. Anyway for those that don't know, here it is - for KAWAKS. if you're using keyboard controls 1. delete eeprom\vliner.srm 2. start kawaks 3. start the game 4. in the config screen, press A until you highlight CONNECT COIN 1 KEY/NOT 5. Press these keys one at a time: F A S F 6. Now it says CONNECT COIN 1 COIN IN 7. Press D to start the game

LOL

Lots of SPECIAL people

Rundll is the program that runs all the control panel thingys. As the name suggests, it allows any dll to run as if it was an exe. This makes it a haven for viruses, trojens and the rest. During normal operation, rundll should not be running. Kill it off. If it comes back you have something bad.
