General / Running AM in a cabinet shutting down the mains.
« on: February 09, 2021, 10:19:31 AM »
I've been having a myriad of issues with a new build running AM but I've slowly widdled things down to one big issue.
I have AM configured and set to load at startup.
I have it set to load the last game that was played.
I had an issue with videos running in one theme. swtiched to verticools and the issues stopped
But i still have this:
About every dozen or so bootups AM crashes. Most of the time it will crash with a white background. nothing comes up in the AM logs. It will not load mame or the last game run. Sometimes it will magically start up again if i select attract mode manually via a mouse. sometimes it will boot if i load the console version of AM. Other times it requires me to use a backup of attract.cfg in order to get it back up and running (looking at the 'corrupted' cfg doesn't show anything out of the ordinary)
I do have this mame cab loading up following AC power loss so it can boot together with all of the other cabinets in my arcade. I'm starting to think shutting down the PC via the power mains is the culprit here, possibly causing some kind of corruption somewhere. Has anyone else had a similar issue? any work-around for this?
