mame ui 64 get an error on AM

[abls1]

That does not work again for me it gives me the error I had at the beginning.. what it seems is happening is not finding the requiered roms files to run the system because mame encrypts their roms in other versions of the game, that is happening even when i add multiple folder path one of them being the mame bios folder

That doesn't seem right...but then again I didn't write the program either! I can't run mame 1.62 right now. I have ran mame UI64 using AM before without a problem..but that was a few versions ago.

In which format/extensions are your mame-games available?
Have a look at this free mame roms. It's not necessesary unzipping this files.
use .zip as rom-extension and generate your rom list.

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.

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

I never know there was a 1.53

What are the changes or post a link to the updates

[hermine.potter]

Still not working via AM. Fine via MameUI64.

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.

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.

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.

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

just out of curiosity..why are you running MAME UI? AM would be your UI (in a sense) I would think stock mame would be better..just my opinion. I know that i had this problem setting up my machine after an ..umm..upgrade...I has to wipe out my mame.ini(s) Turned out that my mame.ini was being read from my "ini" folder instead of my mame folder. I deleted all my ini files and started from scratch.
