Mame unable to initialize direct3d install#
Just in case you decide to install Windows 10 again. I know you said that you went back to Windows 7. SafeDisc and SecuROM (Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, and Vista) Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC., P5N32-E SLIĪntivirus: Webroot SecureAnywhere, Updated and Enabled Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series, 1024 Mb Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6850 3.00GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11 Pretty sure mame wasn't working even before I installed the glide wrapper. Earlier I installed zeckensack's "glide wrapper" to emulate glide functionality on my card so I could get an old DOS game to work. Oh one more thing to add to the equation. I'm really a noob when it comes to graphics cards, directx and this type of thing. it's just something about the way something is configured, or something else that is present in Windows 7, and not Windows 10 seems to be jamming me up. So I know my card is capable of doing mame with direct3d, I have witnessed it before. Same error - unable to create the Direct3d device. I tried installing that old version of DirectX, and that didn't help me. Then somebody online told me that there is certain functionality from prior versions of direct X that DirectX 11 doesn't come with, and that I could install and old version of direct X as well (I picked 9.0c) and it would work in harmony with DirectX 11. Mame d3d didn't work with just a straight graphic card driver install. It's not as smooth as it used to be when everything was working in direct3d mode. If I run the roms in directdraw mode Mame works, - but from my experience - direct draw mode kind of sucks. I used to have this same version of MAME working perfectly in Direct3d mode back when I had Windows 10 installed, but I recently downgraded from Windows 10 back to Windows 7 after discovering that many of my old games were no longer compatible (SecuRom no longer supported, Compatibility modes, etc), overall stability and a host of other issues led me back to 7. My computer's specs are listed at the bottom of this post. I am trying to run a slightly older version of mame (151) on Windows 7 64 bit in Direct3d mode.

If anyone is familiar with how to solve this particular problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Mame: "Unable to create the Direct3d Device"
