General / Re: exit to black screen

« on: December 21, 2015, 06:00:11 AM »

Windows 7. It was working at one point and now it isn't after I upgraded to SSD. It's like it goes back to the front end after exit, you can still move around in the front end, makes sounds. Everything...but picture stays frozen. Only after exiting mame that second time. First time is fine.

Now I added some filters and my list won't show game names again. Just file names. Just when I thought it was perfect.

I forced mame to 800x600 and changed desktop resolution to the same. Fixed.

It's on fill screen. Never had the issue before. It's weird. I have people coming in a few hours and wanted the cab working. I exit a mame game and the screen goes black and I can still hear and move around in the FE but its all black until I alt tab to it. It's like the lil sis command prompt window that shows up is taking focus first. Any way to prevent it from showing that in a window at all?

Fe works great. Got it set up perfect except it loses focus after I exit a game. I hear it working and can control it but black screen until I alt tab. Maybe it's the dos window popping up at launch explaining what's going on. Help?

General / Filtering roms

« on: June 13, 2015, 11:12:03 PM »

Is there any way to filter out roms I don't want in this FE. I have a complete name set and I don't want a lot of them on here. Individually marking each one will take too long. Can we exclude by filter like all  mahjong for example?

I moved my name directory to inside the attract folder and changed lath In cfg. It worked!

All those things are correct. I also manually made listxml to be sure its pulling correct data. It is. I don't get why its not showing ge names. It's weird

where does listxml need to be for attractmode to pick it up when generating?

C:\mame\mame.exe

The above is my emulator directory.

The generated list xml file is in that directory.

When I generate list in attractmode, I only get file names. The xml clearly has game names listed when I open it.

What am I missing?

Romlist is built. It shows roms. Just not the correct names. It shows filenames in my list. I tried what you said with -I it did not work

General / game names not file name?

« on: June 08, 2015, 02:24:29 PM »

I'm using this fe again after using hyperspin and being put off by it because there is no random game button and it's slow and buggy. Anyway...

I forget how to do this but my mame list shows file names not actual game names. How do i fix this?

thanks for the help!
