Problem with MESS - 'Too many software images loaded'

[Lauren Tyler]

Hey folks,

 

I've been a long-time user of MESS for awhile, and a few times it's told me that there are too many software images loaded, and that the emulator cannot be run. I have no idea what causes this or how to remedy it. Anybody else know what to do?

I had the same problem last night trying to run 7800 roms. I think I fixed it by removing the roms from the menu or changing the rom directory and then changing it back. It was kind of late last night, so I'm not 100% sure what I did, but it's working again.

I had the exact same problem. I did what atwwong did with much frustration

but I finally got it working again.

How do you remove the ROMs from the menu? I believe you, but I just don't know how exactly to do it.

Which version of MESS are you using, I thought that problem had been resolved in the current release.
