Using MAME in Pinup Popper

[newtopinball78]

Hello I have been reading on how to get Mame working on pinup popper.  I was getting an error since I copy and pasted the script but fixed the “….. but now no errors just nothing happens it shows its loading then goes back to my desktop.  I would just like to run a few vertical games.  I am just testing with the game 1942.  I can run the game in Hyperspin.

Hey Andy sorry totally overlooked that when I copied and pasted.  It opens now and game runs but when it runs it goes to my desktop and opens the game in landscape….is there a setting I have to change in mame or somewhere that the game will just use the playfield as when I run my tables??

put the backglasses in backglass folder,the names must be the same as the rom. then in pinup popper emulater menu go to youe mame and at the botton u can add a 0 or 1  or 2 wot ever the backglass number is and it will stay on when your playing the game.

When I try to start 1943 in pinup popper I keep getting this error  wondering if anyone has any idea what this means? I am using the same load script as above and rom’s work if I load mame outside of pinup popper.

You have to use your setup for the directories paths to how its on your pc

this is mine

I’m getting the rom errors when launching 1942, 1943 as well as a bunch of other games. It says it is missing files. I can run them in mame just fine but when I launch though pinup I get the errors.

Certain games like Altered Beast or Contra run fine when launched from the pinup menu, but there are 40 or 50 games in my personal favorite collection that will not load from the pinup menu, no matter if I use Mameui64 or Mameuifx64.

I would love to figure this out as its driving me nuts!

I am not sure I am just using mame 0.193 and it works using what I showed above but I only use pinup for vertical games and use hyperspin on my backglass monitor for emulators etc.

Hi, I have a little problem using mame in popper.

I have Load/Save machine state enabled in mame, that means that it loads saved machine state on rom start and saves the state on exiting it…
and it works perfect when using mame64 as standalone, that way i can save hiscores…

but when using popper it loads the machine state when starting rom but the closing script kills the mame64 process and not exiting from it like it should thus no state of the machine is saved :(

Any1 with a solution for this ?
