In Reply to: To Dave Dribin and Rocket 2600, help with Game Launcher. posted by Junior on January 28, 2002 at 21:09:22:
Hi Jr.
Try running Game Launcher in pure DOS and see what happens. Sometimes Windows DOS boxes can cause problems. Only thing I ran into while running GL in Win was a bad flickering screen. This had to do with GL's animations in the menu. But when I run in pure DOS it's perfect. Also be sure you're running the DOS version of MAME, not MAME32. Unless you are running other Win emus you really don't need Windows running in the background. Especially if you running on a older PC (500mhz or less). Most game and console emu's have a DOS version, unless you trying to run more current games (Street Fighter EX+ on the Impact emu). That is the only solution I can think of. Next time you post add specs of the PC you have and which Windows you are running. Good luck...

: Thanks for your help guys.
: I changed the things in GL as you told me to do. I ran it with the debugger and checked the result that was put into the log-file. The "funny" thing is when I run the "runit.bat"-file it works perfekt. The game starts like it's should. Isn't this strange? The log-file that GL creates works when you run it, but it doesn't run inside GL. I'm really puzzled here guys.
: I'm been trying for hours to get GL to run properly. Can you think of anything that I'm doing wrong here? My cab is so close of getting finished. I hate running Mame from the windows enviroment, I want it to look "arcadeish" if you know what I mean.
: Please help me out here.
