Great job on the frontend guys. I have VPX installed and running beautifully and I love it, but…
I am having trouble getting mame to run in Pinup. I am using the standard command line mame located on C:\mame
When I run a mame game from pinupmenu I get an error message (see pic)
Pinupmenu freezes and I have to use Task manager to shut it down. Usually after it shuts down I lose my taskbar (start button etc) and I have to restart my computer before I can restart pinupmenu.
Heres my current script for mame: (I am definately not the man to see about scripts!!!!)
START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” 2 2 10
c:
cd “c:\mame”
START “” “[diremu]\mame.exe “[GAMENAME]”I havent even bothered with the close script yet as I cant even get it to start.

Launch:
START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” 1 2 10 “Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator”
g:
cd “G:\Emulators\MAME”
START “” “[diremu]\mamelayplus.exe” “[GAMEFULLNAME]”
Close:
“[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE” PROC “mamelayplus” 2 1

July 14, 2018 at 3:37 am #91831I changed the script to:
START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” “Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator” 2 2 10
c:
cd “c:\mame”
START “” “[diremu]\mame.exe” “[GAMEFULLlNAME]”
Now I dont get an error message and no crashing of pinupmenu, but the game still didnt start. After trying to start the game I see the usual loading screen then I see my desktop. I can push Q for quit and I go back to pinupmenu which I can exit out of normally by pushing x.

I installed mameuifx64 and used that instead, Now everything works.
I only installed one mame game for testing so now I have to get some more installed.
I noticed on Terrys videos he had a marque around his playfield. Where can I get those?
I also noticed he is using mamelayplus which I cant find. Seems like the website is now dead. Hopefully the marques were not part of that program.
Heres my scripts for those interested:
LAUNCH SCRIPT:
START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” “Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator” 2 2 10
c:
cd “c:\mame”
START “” “[diremu]\mameuifx64.exe” “[GAMEFULLNAME]”
CLOSE SCRIPT:
“[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE” PROC “mameuifx64” 1 1

September 16, 2018 at 8:04 pm #98347Are you using mameuifx64 version 1.75.1 by chance? I’m having the same exact issues with getting the error (see attached pic) and my computer locking up. I need to reboot every time I try and fail. I’m using this script below and using this version of mame. What am I doing wrong?
START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” “Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator” 2 2 10
c:
cd “c:\Mame”
START “” “[diremu]\mameuifx64.exe” “[GAMEFULLNAME]”I am lost! can somebody help me with this please? Am I supposed to do something with the game file in the game manager as well? I see something about needing to specify the TITLE in custom parameters but I don’t know what it means. I’ve only downloaded a few games to test out and they run on mameuifx64 alone, but I can’t get pinup to play them.
