What are post.fx Error Messages?


General post.fx Runtime Errors

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

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\MAME\hlsl\post.fx

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


Most FX errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your post.fx 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, post.fx file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MAME, system crash while loading or saving post.fx, 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.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your post.fx issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the post.fx error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed MAME (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling MAME software.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many post.fx error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve post.fx problems.

Download post.fx Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying post.fx to your appropriate Windows system directory. Open Source typically does not release MAME FX 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 post.fx and all other FX files for MAME. An incorrectly installed FX file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
