There is different ways to fix this :
I'm getting this error when I try to launch a rom:
CDirectDraw:CreateSurface failed.
These roms otherwise work on the computer. I'm running Eden with Aeon Nox and just downloaded the launcher in the repository, I think it was 1.7.6. After this happens xbmc is minimized or sometimes crashes.
- If you are using XBMC into true fullscreen mode, try the switch it to the fullscreen window mode (into XBMC video settings). Sometime it fix the problem.
- Because it is a direct draw problem, if it is possible, try to change the video renderer option into the emulator (to OpenGL, or something other than DirectDraw).
- An other solution is to close XBMC before starting the emulator and restart XBMC when the emulator is closed. For this you can use an intermediate launcher like described here : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=6.
Thank you so much for the tip. Based on your response I actually just switch emulators, now using mednafen. Works great!!
One issue is that I don't get focus returning to XBMC after quitting a rom. Any suggestions to fix this?
