Running out of basic ideas. For the basics:
I've been using Hyperspin in prep for a MAME cabinet build. I've decided to switch over to Attract Mode, as it seems a LOT more lightweight, and easier to use. And I'm having some serious issues, but only with some games. And it doesn't seem to be specifically with Attract Mode.
I can load some games in all configurations. Straight MAME, MAME64, MAMEUI64, arcade64, both with and without Attract Mode.
Some games I have, I can't get to load using Attract Mode with any of the MAME options, or directly in MAME64, either official or nonag. I can get them to load directly in MAMEUI64 and arcade64 (both nonag), so I'm fairly certain I've got good ROMs.
All the MAME programs are .184, and all ROMs are updated. Computer is Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1. I've already tried running the bits as Administrator, and fiddling with permissions. The games that don't work consistently don't work, and the games that work, consistently work.
I've tried them where I have them (E:, one of my secondary drives), and tried with everything placed on C:, with the same results in both cases.
Anyone got any thoughts? This feels to me almost like the command line doesn't want to work with some things.
