Problem with "Other Game" link and .7z support

[ReFleX]

The new other game link is sweet, but there is a problem when using this with .7z support.

As an example lets take pac-man. If I am under the menu for pac-man in mame, there is a link to pac-man under the 2600. But when I click on it, it takes me to a page where I can "play this game", not one where I can choose which rom from the .7z file. So if I click "play this game" it tries to load the Pac-Man.7z file into the emulator (which of course doesn't work).

It seems like the link should take you to the same page as if I navigated to it manually from under the 2600 emulator, that is a page with all the roms in that .7z file.

Thanks for the report RefleEx. I think I've fixed this and attach a replacement GameEx.exe to try. Can you confirm its working please. Thanks.

Sorry, here is an update for the dbase caching. Issues with the last one.

If you tried try this one instead.

Works now! Awesome job Tom!

I would like to make a suggestion though. Right now the "other systems" shows up above the list of actual roms. So in the list we have game title, then artwork if there is any, then other systems the game is on, then roms to choose from, then last the database history stuff. I think it would be better to have the roms above the "other systems" links and move those down to near the database stuff.

Great work though as always!

Yes, your right on that. I kind of forgot about 7zip when I did the change. Ill do it for the next release.
