Mame Crashes w\ Batsugun,Gunbird 2, Battle Garegga,Batrider

[StarBeamAlpha]

Hey shmups forum! I never knew there were so many cool shmups on arcade! Thanks for introducing me to them.

I am using Mame32 .116 and these 4 games crash back to the games list randomly:

Batsugun
Gunbird 2
Battle Garegga
Batrider

I looked these games up at MAWS:
http://www.mameworld.net/maws/

Batsugun
Gunbird 2 - "any random crashes in PsikyoSH are likely to be sound overflows. "
Battle Garegga - "Crashes randomly."
Batrider - "This games crashes if you leave the attract mode running"

Anyway for me, all 4 of these randomly crash back to the mame games list.

Since these are popular games here at shmups.com I was wondering if there were some specific builds of mame that people are using to play these games.

I have played another 20 shmups on mame and they didn't randomly crash.

I played Battle Garegga and Batrider on Raine but I cannot get rid of the tearing of the graphics and very often my ship gets frozen and then left doesn't work.

I was having similar problems with MAME32 0.113; random Garegga crashes, and terrible Darius Gaiden framerates. Just in case it helps you, I randomly switched to MAME32 0.81 and now both games seem to run perfectly again.

Edit: although I'm sure there's a far better solution than reverting back to such an old MAME32 revision.

Mame32 .113 was also crashing on Garegga over here.

I use Mame32plus 1.06 for my shmups now though, it's faster than the more recent builds, and no crashes.

Yes, toaplan.c games crashes randomly, never mind if you use mameplus or mame. You can read more on mametesters forum.

Fixed in MAME117u1.
