    Default Error running Frogger (MameUIFX64)

    Hello!

    I'm having trouble running Frogger and few other games. I'm using MameUIFX64-0.174 with 0.174 roms. When I start Frogger I get this error message:

    Driver mrdonight (file galaxian.cpp): 1 error, 0 warnings

    Click ok and get:

    Error: Parent driver name must be 8 characters or less.

    Click ok and get a blank dialog. Click ok on that and the game loads.

    I see mrdonight is 9 characters, so that appears to be the problem, but I don't know how to fix it. I don't have a mrdonight rom.

    This happens with any other game that uses galaxian.cpp

    Thanks!

    That's an error in that version of MAMEUIFX.

    You should get the latest version (it's called ARCADE now).

    Thanks! I updated to 0.175. I didn't know the project was picked up and renamed by someone else.

    So, I guess that leads to the question of which emulator is "best". I'm not sure why I'm using mameuifx, probably some tutorial I followed when setting up. Well, and also, I could find a nonag fix.

    My roms are .174 and doubt its worth trying to keep up with the official mame releases. It might be best just to go along and only update when problems like this pop up with a game I want to play.
