Hey guys. Got a brain scratcher for ya. OK got my system where the fromtend and MAME works perfect in pure DOS. I use Game Launcher for a frontend. At the D:/ (drive I have all the emus in) I type:
D:/GLAUNCH>glauch.exe
When I typr this in the front starts fine and then when I pick a game MAME runs fine. MAME exits fine right back to the frontend after the game.
OK Here's the problem:
I put in my AUTOEXEC.BAT the command to start Game Launcher. Boot up the system, GL starts no problem. But when I try to launch a game I get a Page Default error about 3 lines long full of numbers and the system is locked up. Tried it again, GL starts, didn't start a game this time just tried to exit GL....same Page Default. Took it out of the AUTOEXEC.BAT and rebooted. Again in pure DOS, I launch the front and play the games with no errors. Why?
Don't understand why it won't work by having it launch in the ATUOEXEC.BAT? Anyone else ever run into this? Is it just a simple fix? Anyone who has the answer please reply. Thank you and Game On!
