General / Re: mame ui 64 get an error on AM

Those are the same exact errors I have been getting. I knew I was not crazy!!! I've been into this emulation thing for over 12 yrs and I know how to run a simple emulator like MAMEUI not sure what its going on but I see this as a run error which makes the emulator itself throw an error.

Have you worked out the issue or do we need to wait for a new MAME release and cross our fingers?

I think attract-mode will just use whatever directory you run it from as its home directory on windows.

Also, you could try using the --config parameter when you run attract-mode to specify the directory where it should look for its configuration, something like:

attract --config /my/config/location

$HOME for me points to C:\Users\Account-Name\

I was hoping to be able to change the $HOME location but it's no big deal if it can't be configured.

Got it to work on a pre 0.162 version of MameUI64. Still can't figure out what's causing the problem with 0.162 MameUI64. Something must have changed in that version.

It does work with mame.exe 0.162b but that's beside the point for anyone using MameUI.

I tried it on a different Windows 7 64 machine which has a fresh install of everything. No pie   

If it's working for you I must be doing something wrong in the settings but I can't see it.

I do not have these problems. But I use AM 1.5.3. Please test & try AM 1.5.3 and tell your results...

Still not working via AM. Fine via MameUI64.

These are the errors I get.

Have you tried flv?

Windows version currently does not work with flv but that bug will hopefully be fixed soon.

Is there any way to set a new default home directory with the Windows build?

I can run the frontend outside of AM but when i try to run a game it tries to start the game normally but then it says game files are missing.. this happends for very game i tried from mame

Same issue here on Win7 64.

1.5.1 no problem with mameui64

Overwrote AM.exe with 1.5.2 to update.

1.5.2 can't launch a single rom from AM but all work from mameui64.

... because it doesn't have money backing it.

Happy to change that with a donation. I can see this FE growing into something special.
