Title: Strange AM Auto Exit Issue When Auto Starting
Post by: mrteeney on January 11, 2019, 05:08:51 PM

A few months ago, I had a weird issue where AM would launch two instances when auto starting in Windows 10.  That went away and now I have a weird exiting issue that when you exit the first game from Attract Mode, it closes both MAME and AM and drops back into Windows.  If AM is launched manually the problem subsides, it's only when it auto launches.  My arcade cabinet is running Windows 10 Pro on old HP desktop hardware, I have a shortcut to AM that launches from the Windows start-up folder.  There is a dedicated controller button that exits the game (button 11).  I've changed the remapping of MAME to end using only the Keyboard escape key, and the "back" button in AM is the dedicated button, but still doesn't effect anything.
