mGalaxy 5.2 trouble when returning from MAME

[yamzzz]

I was using genuine MS Xbox 360 controllers when I ran into this bug, so I don't think that's it...

I also have a xbox 360 for windows wireless pad, but I dislike the big dead zone. Anyway I've been using it and since then the bug didn't happen again. So it could be related to not pure xbox 360 controllers.

I m using an xbox 360 emulator too, maybe it s the cause, but I don't see how this can happen

Sometimes, when I exit a MAME game, mGalaxy doesn't respond to keystrokes. It happens like 1 in 10 times or so.

What happens is, that I can't move the cursor selecting games. I can open the "top 10" menu, but I can't move the cursor there either. I can also run games, even though the cursor isn't moving on screen, it seems to actually move in "background", so the game I start isn't necessarily the one highlighted.

When I open the filter keyboard, everything returns to normal.

I run Windows 7 64-bits and use an I-pac. I have customised the key mapping scheme for mGalaxy.

v5.0 also acted this way for me. MAME versions 0.149, 0.150 and now 0.152.

Sorry I was talking about this bug. I used a Logitech F710 on xinput mode (has a switch which changes between dinput and xinput mode).

I also have a xbox 360 for windows wireless pad, but I dislike the big dead zone. Anyway I've been using it and since then the bug didn't happen again. So it could be related to not pure xbox 360 controllers.

BTW any chance of getting directinput also supported?

The same bug ? with the transparent menu if you press ESC key ?

I have the same problem, sith a freshly installed mgalaxy and NES/Nestopia only configured.

Perhaps mGalaxy can give you some special version to make some test, if you have the bug every time, it s possible to correct it. Not possible if the bug appears 1 time by week.

Well actually it was the first time I ever ran mGalaxy on this particular machine... it's possible I was doing something wrong, but I don't recall it happening whenever I closed console emulators. Just MAME. I'll give it another go in the next few days to try and narrow some things down.

[Aeliss]

It s the first time you have the bug, or it s the first time you are using this MAME version ?
No recents changes in your configuration ?

And nope, no news for me, the bug is too unusual, I can't reproduce it. Perhaps someone else have better information.

Did anyone ever figure out a solution to this bug? It was happening to me over the weekend with a stock MAME64 0.153 and an official XBOX 360 controller. It seemed like every time I closed MAME, I would have to press all sorts of buttons to regain control of mGalaxy.

Thanks!

No more bugs for you ?

I finally had it again yesterday with kega/fusion.

Sames symptom, to unlock it I have.
1 - press ESC > The emulator window appear but 50% transparent, all command/mouvement still invisible.
2 - press down > same
3 - press 1 > all is now unlocked with the windows "do you really want to quit, yes / no"

I have made a try with  mameuifx64 0.152 still no bug, sorry. I use defaut config, without joypad.
You need to run the game some minutes to have the bug ? I just wait 1 mn to check.

i use mameuifx32 + mGalaxy 5.2 Os:W7

[Aeliss]

It s really strange, I had this bug before (and on all system but really rarely), but I haven't it since  at least 1 month.
Which one version mGalaxy/Mame have you ?
MaMe 0.148 and mGalaxy 5.2 for me

In Systems.xml my command is

Code: [Select]

      <Cmd id="0" name="MAME" value="-rompath &quot;%path&quot; %file%ext %volume -skip_gameinfo -nowindow" />
Can you reproduce the bug easily ?

I have the same problem (Intel VGA) with the output of mame to mGalaxy nothing left to wait for the next version of the last update was on January 19 from what I remember. How much we will have to wait for the next update that no one will say
