Summary	04397: MAME freezes with a hlsl .ini file.
Description	MAME runs fine after fresh install and mame.ini hlsl attributes set. After that, it freezes when you don't delete the hlsl.ini file.
Steps To Reproduce	a clean MAME 64 bit install, added the hlsl settings below to mame.ini. running mame64 pacmania, starts fine, you see the effects, quit MAME, run it again, it will show a black screen after the disclaimer screens and it hangs (kill via taskmanager) Delete the hlsl.ini in the hlsl folder and restart MAME and it's back working here's the mame.ini hlsl part: hlsl_enable 1 hlslini hlsl hlslpath hlsl hlsl_prescale_x 0 hlsl_prescale_y 0 hlsl_preset -1 hlsl_snap_width 1920 hlsl_snap_height 1200 shadow_mask_alpha 0.100000 shadow_mask_texture aperture.png shadow_mask_x_count 320 shadow_mask_y_count 240 shadow_mask_usize 0.093750 shadow_mask_vsize 0.093750 curvature 0.050000 curvature 0.050000 pincushion 0.050000 scanline_alpha 0.600000 scanline_size 1.000000 scanline_height 0.700000 scanline_bright_scale 1.500000 scanline_bright_offset 0.600000 scanline_jitter 0.000000 defocus 1.500000,1.500000 converge_x 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 converge_y 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 radial_converge_x 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 radial_converge_y 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 red_ratio 1.000000,0.000000,0.000000 grn_ratio 0.000000,1.000000,0.000000 blu_ratio 0.000000,0.000000,1.000000 saturation 1.050000 offset 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 scale 1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 power 2.200000,2.200000,2.200000 floor 0.020000,0.020000,0.020000 phosphor_life 0.200000,0.200000,0.200000 yiq_enable 0 yiq_cc 3.597545 yiq_a 0.500000 yiq_b 0.500000 yiq_o 0.000000 yiq_p 1.000000 yiq_n 1.000000 yiq_y 6.000000 yiq_i 1.200000 yiq_q 0.600000 yiq_scan_time 52.599998 yiq_phase_count 2 and here is the hlsl.ini file, note the strange characters for shadow_mask_texture: hlsl_enable 1 hlsl_prescale_x 0 hlsl_prescale_y 0 hlsl_preset -1 hlsl_snap_width 1920 hlsl_snap_height 1200 shadow_mask_alpha 0.000000 shadow_mask_texture ??u? shadow_mask_x_count 320 shadow_mask_y_count 240 shadow_mask_usize 0.093750 shadow_mask_vsize 0.093750 curvature 0.050000 pincushion 0.050000 scanline_alpha 0.600000 scanline_size 1.000000 scanline_height 0.700000 scanline_bright_scale 1.500000 scanline_bright_offset 0.600000 scanline_jitter 0.000000 defocus 1.500000,1.500000 converge_x 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 converge_y 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 radial_converge_x 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 radial_converge_y 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 red_ratio 1.000000,0.000000,0.000000 grn_ratio 0.000000,1.000000,0.000000 blu_ratio 0.000000,0.000000,1.000000 saturation 1.050000 offset 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000 scale 1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 power 2.200000,2.200000,2.200000 floor 0.020000,0.020000,0.020000 phosphor_life 0.200000,0.200000,0.200000 yiq_enable 0 yiq_cc 3.597545 yiq_a 0.500000 yiq_b 0.500000 yiq_o 0.000000 yiq_p 1.000000 yiq_n 1.000000 yiq_y 6.000000 yiq_i 1.200000 yiq_q 0.600000 yiq_scan_time 52.599998 yiq_phase_count 2

You write down the summary of your report in the summary field. Please read the tutorial carefully. http://mametesters.org/tutorial.html

To get around this problem simply delete hlslini %g in your mame.ini Also, instead of just C&P settings, you should create a new mame.ini with 143 binary then transfer existing settings manually. You seem to be missing some entries and you have curvature listed twice.
