Yeah fingers crossed someone has had a similar issue and knows a solution. When the problem manifests there isn't event a vestigial Mame process causing the blank screen. I'm considering scripting up a logoff keystroke to see if going through that process will help. https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-shutdown-or-sleep-windows-10-with-a-keyboard-shortcut/ If I find a solution I'll be sure to document it here.

First off I wanna say I love Mame64UI, I'm happy to have discovered it. It's kick started a real resurgence in my playing classic Arcade Games. All the games I played for weeks and weeks as they toured the arcades where I lived as a teen? Yup! All those games I only ever played once, while visiting a random towns in the middle of nowhere, and immediately loved but never ever saw again let alone played, until I grabbed it's ROM and played it on Mame64UI??? Yup! Black Widow, Gunsmoke, Quantum? Hell yeah! But every so often when I escape out of a Mame64UI gaming session the screen stays black and there is nothing on gods green earth that will make this go away. I've tried restarting the windows Graphics driver by pressing Ctrl+Shift,Win+B. I don't know anything I can do to stop it happening... can anyone give me any suggestions? I'm playing the latest MameUI64 0.262.0 on Windows 11.

Thanks for the replies and just for completeness my upgrade process is as follows. 1. put the mameui254.7z into the same directory as my mameui64 install 2. execute "7za x -y mameui254.7z" which overwrites all the files without asking for confirmation. This is safe as the mameui254.7z file does not contain any .ini files or other files that are customised by the previous version of mameui 3. profit I know this is probably obvious to many people but I've always feared my knowledge of mameui was lacking in some way.

Hi, I'm in awe of MameUI64 Classic and all version of the app prior to this. So thank you all so much for making it. I've had many many happy hours playing so many games knew well, like Commando, and others I only managed to play one single game of, once, while on holiday when I was a kid, which was Atari's Black Widow. God I love that game!! So mega kudos all round ♥ I would like to know of the recommended upgrade procedure for MameUI64 Classic? I've been using MameUI for years and recently moved over to MameUI64 Classic but I've always wondered if I'm upgrading correctly. Usually I just replace the exe in the folder and start it... in that way all the ini files with my settings are preserved but I've always wondered if there was an optimal way to upgrade? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, T
