:mad Pissed Right Fucking Off!

Revived my MAME machine today after it not being used for over a year. Needed a new bios battery for motherboard, which I replaced and it booted first time.

Thing is though, all my customisations of MAME - Both display and iPac arcade control - WERE WIPED!!! GRRRRR

So I spent most of the afternoon getting it back to how I liked it, and then it started crashing on me! Needing to swap the keyboard fro the USB to PS2 fitting for boot up is a PITA ! Then once Ive got it going again (Last know good config) in BIOS... Fucker goes and crashes on me again...

Cant leave KB on PS2 as it means the door cant be shut with it connected there. So back to usb and we are good to go until BSOD again !!!

I'd forgotten what the BSOD looked like till today. Its like getting reaquatinted with an old friend who you dont like at all and wish you hadn't met up with them again.

Its not the tech side that annoys me... Its jut a heavy fucker to keep turning around to get in the back and its a really hot day in the UK too...

Anyway, rant over - I feel vented... Now I'll try AGAIN !!! GRRRRR
