Mame Unable To Initialize Direct3d Windows 7
Unable to create the Direct3D device. (8876086C) « on: February 15, 2013, 11:26:11 am » Unable to create the Direct3D device. (8876086C)I just downloaded MAME (most recent 148-64 bit) to test some things on my "faster" computer and this is the error code that pops up at MAME start. The computer runs on a Windows 7-64 bit platform. After googling the error, I downloaded and installed the most recent DirectX from Microsoft. However, I'm directx end user runtime installer still getting this error. I figured I would try to change the D3D option in the mame.ini file to ddraw which as worked for my other computer, however, I can't seem to find the mame.ini file anywhere. I don't understand command lines at all, so I don't know how to create with that method. Any help? Logged BadMouth Trade Count: (+5) Full Member Offline Posts: 7464 I told you I'd shoot.

Never versions don't contain all the old ones.http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35Never heard of it happening with MAME, but it's a common problem with a lot of other emulators.Maybe because people use older computers or they already have them installed for other emulators.

Many different versions http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=130463.0 of Mame work fine. However, when launching via the frontend, I get a black screen. If I alt-tab, the Mame window becomes active and runs fine. If I alt tab through the active windows while Mame is running, there is also a DOS window with the message 'Unable to create the Direct 3D device, repeated many times. If I alt-tab back https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/44 to the Mame window and escape back to the frontend the DOS window disappears. Strange thing is, after a reboot, the frontend works as intended and launches Mame just fine but only once, then the above problem occurs until I reboot. I've used all the available layouts, including a very basic one with no fancy transitions and the problem still persists. Brilliant work BTW :) Owner mickelson commented May 12, 2014 hi thanks, What version of windows are you running? This might be something updating your video drivers could help with, as my guess is this has to do with the video transitioning from opengl to directx. monkeyboy1970 commented May 12, 2014 I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I tried switching drivers and the problem persisted. Odd that it works once after a reboot then continues to fail. The laptop I'm using is only a testbed and your frontend works great on my cabinet, I just thought it would be worth reporting the issue for better compatibility. If you want to look up the specs it's an HP Elite
