Happy to host

This is probably my fault, GameEx still does not support the elusive "Roms in folders". Then again when I started this project, I only ever wanted it to support MAME .

Not sure, I entirely follow the post, but HK is right GameEx does cache. You can make it recache by delete deleting emu_X.map in the data folder. Theres also a db cache.

Nah, its just 16 bits, and a bug in excel. Youd see it that way too if you coded. No offence.

Yes, delete it, then just install gameex again to put back the empty database.

Hey, I cant help with your specifc question as GameEx cant do individual snaps, but I just wanted to say GameEx *should* in fact skip taking the snaps for games that you already have a snap for.

I know about the delete game data, thats a legacy issue as we went to a proper database driven system a little while back as opposed to my initial text file based bodge!. In terms of your first post, its sounds like a bug, but are your referrring to MAME or another system?

No problem, I won't change anything unless you now tell me otherwise. Thanks a lot for your help

Hi, I've been chatting with NoLogic and it sounds like its time to get the "completed" dbases integrated into the install and replace the existing, if that's ok with everyone? Can someone provide an upload to that affect for me, and Ill get it going? Thanks for all the hard work, lets get them out there

Im in the chat room right now, if anyone wants to come by. Ill try to stay in as long as I can, but I may flake out early as I have a cold.

Should I and is it ok to - include this with the GameEx install? I dont have the hardware to check it out, but it sounds right on the mark. Oqqalz if you want a free gameex license/s or refund etc please do drop me a mail. Anyone who contributes like this should not have to pay for GameEx. Cheers. Tom.

Nice Ill add it to the portal. Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys. Let me know if you need anything from me. Such as if things should be moved to the portal from the forum.

Well thanks a lot for stepping up, and to everyone else too. To be honest, I probably won't be able to catch up with everything now, but you all know you can email me or PM if there's something of significance it looks like I've missed. Its great though, that the forum has gone way beyond just GameEx related. Not bragging but it seems we get way more posts than the BYOAC software forum, and all the other front end forums. The only downside is its hard to keep up unless you check in daily. Of course I'm open to suggestions as always on how to improve things, but of course without breaking what we have going. What migt be helpful, is adding to the portal some kind of more advanced software solution for tracking feature requests and bugs. I *feel* like I am on top of everything, but I worry I may miss something. Thoughts welcome.

Put it this way, you should split the $5 dollars.

Nice to be missed It was a vacation, not as far flung as Hawaii though. Back now, and its great to see things run along quite well without me, in fact it seems you all get off your asses and do more Even Orc fired up his pentium II and US Robotics modem to post a message. Im honred

Thanks a whole lot for the contribution I dunno I go away for a couple of weeks, and we have new cpwizard, mame compiler, new plugins. Do you guys really need me around here! More seems to happen when I take a back seat!

LP, Yeah basically look at the example/s and post if you need help, or even have requests for that matter.

Its always a party here, you just have to supply your own beer

Could someone please confirm the "shellonexit" is broken? Ill get it fixed. Thanks.

and there's me thinking noone would even notice... Wont do that again

Just wanted to say its completely fine with me, and thank you so much for all you've done. The moderator thing is supposed to be something people want to do rather than a burden as far as I am concerned. I'll remove your moderation access, just so you dont get bothered with stuff that you don't have time to deal with. I think we are ok for now since we still have three mods including me, and sorry all I've not been around last 10 days, I've just got back from a vacation. If any of you top members (mentioned above) want to be a moderator, Id love to have you on board, but again you should do it because yourll get a kick out of it, you do more than enough already. But contact me if your interested.

For the record. I'll abide by MAME devs wishes and TOS. If its not on, its not on. We're not rebels or underground here.....

Can you both post what video cards using, and whether ATI, Nvidia?

For viewing PDF's they have to be unzipped. The reason is otherwise GameEx has no way of knowing there ebooks, and I'd rather it be user firendly for folks than support zips. To be honest I can see no benefit of zipping PDF's as there already compressed. Renaming to .cbz. or .cbr is not going to work, as there comic book files and not PDF's. GameEx will think your trying to open a comic book. So sorry to answer your question, no you can't have them zipped to work.
