When Clrmame 3.61b imports data from Mame 0.92 it stops with a message "_tempdat is in use by another program" (under Win98SE).

I have to restart my pc and manually remove the file, but i always get the same error. I also cleared the Clrmame cache but it didn't help.

Previous versions worked ok. Maybe a problem with the Mame executable and not Clrmame?

If i remember correctly Win98SE users had the same problem with a previous Clrmame version that was quickly fixed...

This is a known Win9x/Me problem. It's not caused by ClrMamePro but by mingw compiled binaries, in this case the mame binary. Any redirected output will be locked by the operating system.
Update your OS.

I seem to fight this problem a bit, and I suggest that
when it happens, just extract a "fresh" clrmame from
the zipfile and try again. It doesn't seem to do it
every time.


Once it messes up though, it seems to be messed up even after
a reboot. So I have a bunch of "clrmame_bad"
directories on my hard drive 8-)

I wonder if it has anything to do with Norton Antivirus?

Solution for Win98SE:

Execute MAME once before running ClrMame and then everything works ok!
