"mGalaxy has stopped working" before it even starts.

Aeliss · Sun Feb 23, 2014 3:19 pm

Try to make a fake database. Make a file called xmlout.xml (in Mgalaxy\Data\MAME) with inside

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<dbase name="MAME" version="0.148 (Jan 11 2013)">
  <game name="Game-name" cloneof="">
    <description>blablabla</description>
    <genre>Labyrinthe</genre>
    <players>2P alt</players>
  </game>
</dbase>

with a real game name without extension.
If that don't work, I see only a bad path in mGalaxy_Runway for ROM.

Edit: Wich one extension have your roms ?

I am having the exact same problem. I cannot get mGalaxy to run at all, even if disabling MAME. I have tried all the other options in this thread.

It is installed at c:\emulators\mgalaxy\

Any other ideas..?

The following is in the event viewer:

Faulting application name: mGalaxy.exe, version: 5.2.0.0, time stamp: 0x52da69ff

And this one too:

Have you tried downloading the Mame database here:
http://www.mgalaxy.com/forum/index.php?action=downloads;cat=1
Import it with the mGalaxy_Runway 'import' button inside the MAME tab...and tell us what happen!

Y'know... that actually worked for me! Which is awesome! Thanks.

But since I apparently can't generate my own database file from my MAME (0.151 or 0.152) that is quite a few versions ahead of this 0.145 one, is there anyone out there who has and would care to share? Thanks again.

Thu Feb 27, 2014 6:16 am

Glad to see that you finally get the database working! :-)
Would you by chance have a 'catver.ini' file v0.151...so that I can build a database for you?

Oh for some reason I hadn't seen this reply until now! Would it be possible to just use a 0.152 catver.ini file for this database? I can't imagine it would be a problem. If that's okay, it can be found at http://www.progettoemma.net/public/ccou ... k.php?id=6

Thanks for the offer and I hope I'm not too late!

Sat Mar 22, 2014 3:33 pm

No yamzzz, you're not too late!! :-)
I was actually creating the database for you when I isolated a change in the MAME app database itself!!
Would you please do a test, creating the database by yourself, with that version:
http://www.mgalaxy.com/other/mGalaxy_Runway.exe

Simply replace your previous version with this one...I think that you might be satisfied with it ;-)

Ohhh man! This version totally works! This rules! Thanks so much! What was the issue?! And will you be pushing out a new version to take care of this somewhat-serious bug for everyone?

yamzzz · Sat Mar 22, 2014 10:13 pm

Actually, hold that thought. :\ As it turns out, on one of my computer, the new Runway works... However, on my second computer, neither the old nor the new one works. They BOTH give me the force close! Any other ideas?

yamzzz · Fri Mar 28, 2014 12:04 pm

No more luck with anything relating to this, I suppose? :\

Or maybe even http://www.mgalaxy.com/forum/index.php?topic=574.0 as a workaround?

yamzzz · Sat Mar 21, 2015 4:51 pm

So I went to try using the newest version of this front-end and a database generated from RomLister and am still getting the "...stopped working" message before mGalaxy even boots up. Was there ever any progress with this issue? Thanks!

EDIT: Does this help at all?

Could you once again post here the complete report from the 'Event Viewer'?
http://www.howtogeek.com/123646/htg-explains-what-the-windows-event-viewer-is-and-how-you-can-use-it/

Tells me:
1. Which windows version?
2. Framework 4.0 installed ?
3. Windows Media Player 10 installed?
4. Where's the main mGalaxy folder located?
5; Did you try running the application with Administrator rights?

yamzzz · Sat Mar 21, 2015 5:58 pm

Definitely! First I must say that when I generate a database with mGalaxy, it seems to be okay. I have the force close the instant I load up mGalaxy after importing and using a database I created in RomLister. Would it help if I sent you the .xml it generated?

I am on W8.1 64bit.

.NET framework 4.0.40804.0.

I have whatever WMP comes with 8.1 and I believe that is version 12.

mGalaxy is installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\mGalaxy.

I have tried both the front-end and Runway with admin rights and nothing changes.

Thanks for the quick follow-up!

From what I read, I understand that you have no problem running mGalaxy_Runway (and generating a database), correct?
I understand too that you don't have a problem when launching mGalaxy with 'Use database' disabled in mGalaxy_Runway, correct?
So the problem only occurs when you're trying to use the database?

Could you please send the database generated by romlister?

yamzzz · Sat Mar 21, 2015 6:33 pm

Everything you said is correct. When I use the database mGalaxy generates, everything seems to work but the actual rom names are used rather than the common name. I will email you the RomLister .xml right now!

Thanks!
