Hey all.. it seems no matter what my system never stays completely stable. Recently, it seems out of no where ive encountered a new problem. In attractmode i run mame for arcade games, and mess for basically everything else. Recently when i went to play a home console game,i went to launch it, but nothing loads. When i click my mouse button everything loads up.. So it seems that now suddenly mess is launching in the backround? and i need to either click a mouse or ctrl tab over. Now ive come to notice after the first time i have to click to load, after that, the system loads fine, but not other systems on mess
For example, if I select Nintendo from my main menu, then go to load a game, everything freezes in attract mode until I click my mouse button or control tab over then the game loads are perfectly. If I escape out of the game and then go to load another game it will load up fine. But if I back out and go to Sega Genesis, this Behavior repeats itself. Why is the window not launching on top of attractmode the first time but everytime after. Furthermore the mouse click confuses me because how does the system know I'm clicking the window behind attractmode anyway. Any suggestion for why this started happening? I re copied my whole hdd over and started fresh and its still doing it. Ive included my .cfg file. I cant begin where to try .. video settings? windowed settings? it threw a major wrench in my machine. thanks for any feedback. Im using the rocket launcher plug in to launch games, so im not sure if thats where i should be looking. I just dont understand why this behavior would just start doing this.One day i dream of a arcade setup for myself that just..works always lol. but i guess thats the nature of the hobby
