General / can't exit emulator/program

« on: December 03, 2023, 02:02:26 PM »

So I am finalizing setting up Attract Mode the way I like, and am going through all my systems making sure each game has video and logos,  as well as confirming that everything will launch and exit appropriately.  I have run across a couple of systems that do not exit  and remain running in the background after I return to the front end.  I have my controller set to use "select" and "start" together to exit a game.  This works fine.  However, in the background the game continues to run, and does not stop.  So far, the two systems with this problem are Pop Cap games, which run an .exe, and Pinball Arcade, which runs off of a .bat file.  Any suggestions to help resolve this problem and make the games exit all the way when using select and start?

You are right.  Thanks for the insight on this.  Now I get to go through the whole romlist and edit all the out of place items.  Fun!!!!!

Thanks for the info, I would never have figured that out on my own.  Apparently though I have some weird roms because I still have some that are not showing correctly.  For example, I have a game called Ironclad with a rom name of ironclad that sits between chopper and circus charlie.   Some others are doing the same.  I tried sorting by name and that put Ironclad in the right order, but then screwed up others such as Space Invaders, which has rom name of invader was now in the I section.  Not sure what to do here.

How do I go about getting my MAME list to show up in alphabetical order as opposed to rom name order?
