Frustrating problem with kawaks...

[DevilHands]

When I start to load a rom after about 2-3 seconds everything just freeze!! yes! even my computer... this is really frustrating cause I have to constantly press the restart button which might end up damaging my computer... I am able to use Mame and Nebula... but it seems Kawaks seems to be the choice of gamers for netplay so I wanna try that....What seems to be the problem here anyway?

Redownload the emulator, I mean the Kawaks and see how it turns out. Then the rom, is it playable using MAME (the very latest version)? :cool:

[DevilHands]

Yes...roms are playable... the only reason I want to use Kawaks is for net play. I've already redownload it but it still freeze up my computer.... I don't know but if there are no other reasons then it must be because of my video card driver....

How about without netplay, still it work? :confused:

[DevilHands]

In Nebula I could play online... I dont know about Kawak cause before I could even play it already freeze up my computer....

A bug? Not sure as I haven't use the latest version of Kawaks. Wait for others' in this forum and see whether they could know the problem or not.

[DevilHands]

Do you know any other emulator that supports netplay then? Mostly because I only get good ping on korea/japan servers...but it seems they can't join me and I can't join them....

Btw, lastest Kawaks works great for me. Try updating your gfx card drivers and DirectX.

Take a look at Kawaks menu -> Video -> Video menory allocation: Try video memory or system memory allocation and see waht's happen.

Changing system to video memory seems to work....

I was pretty sure that it was the problem :p

Btw, mabve you forget the magic words :rolleyes:
