What are p1.ini Error Messages?

General p1.ini Runtime Errors

p1.ini file errors often occur during the startup phase of MAME, but can also occur while the program is running. These types INI errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while MAME is running. Here are some of the most common p1.ini runtime errors:

p1.ini could not be found.
p1.ini error.
p1.ini failed to load.
Error loading p1.ini.
Failed to register p1.ini / Cannot register p1.ini.
Runtime Error - p1.ini.
The file p1.ini is missing or corrupt.

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\MAME\ini\examples\p1.ini

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Most INI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your p1.ini file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MAME), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, p1.ini file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MAME, system crash while loading or saving p1.ini, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your p1.ini File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate p1.ini file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free p1.ini files for every applicable version of MAME. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download p1.ini Files".
Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
Copy this file to the appropriate MAME folder location:

Windows 10: C:\MAME\ini\examples\
Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve p1.ini problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.

Download p1.ini Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying p1.ini to your appropriate Windows system directory. Open Source typically does not release MAME INI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing p1.ini and all other INI files for MAME. An incorrectly installed INI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
