I'm not sure if its exactly the same problem as I'm having but it sounds similar... its to do with the fact that glaunch is a dos application and it doesnt take well to launching windows application (as the dos app has exclusive access to system resources). My guess is if you turn debug=yes in the config file and try it again, everything will work nicely, but then break again when you set debug=no.

 

If thats the case, you're in the same boat I am... There are various utilities that you can use to close glaunch, open the application, then re-open glaunch when that application shuts down... but I havent figured it out yet (still trying to find a front end that actually works first go!)

 

Is the version of mame and/or your video card the same as on your other cabs?

Gamelauncher goes back to the menu when MAME has a problem starting a rom. If all the directories are set correctly, go into the mame directory and from the command line run a rom. ie, mame 1942 <enter> if there is a problem mame will tell you what it is. A common one is the soundcard.

Yep put in debug and it ran all the games perfectly, However there was a small problem, the buttons were all swapped around, but when i run a game in mame32 the button config is normal.. Wtf

 

I would never recomend anyone use any FE with mame32.

 

Use windows command line mame

That used to happen to me. I used glaunch for some years. I am now a MaLa Fe fan....

 

anyway. The problem really is glaunch has not been updated for some time so you don't get decent error messages to diagnose problems..

 

Try installing the latest version of driver for you video and sound card
