Hi, just to clear things up, thats the default log included with gameex install. Its actually the log of my development pc. Not many folks have a quad core Xeon, and 4GB Ram The 0mb video memory is because it was last run under a remote desktop session.

Can you please get back and let me know if that worked? As no doubt others have the same problem. Thanks. Tom

Yeah I know, see post above. Go get 8.76.

This is fixed in 8.76. Now available.

You can import from other locations, select the first item in the drop down Box.

Its nothing to do with this particular version. you need to click the drop down, and select an emu, or click browse for file at the top of list

This is due to the ATI fix in 8.74. Its meant to help with the drivers since sept 06 which are a bit buggered. GameEx does the transition in software for ATI cards now which is slower, but better than 5 seconds a frame which was happening with the newer drivers. I also did extend the amount of time for the transition, there slower on purpose. Is it chugging or is the transition just longer. Ill add an option for slow or fast for next release, since you mentioned you dont like it. What do others think? PS: As per usual, no release notes normally implies single bug fix to something. This time something that I found through the error reporting.

I dont think that worked. Can you please try the attached GameEx.exe replacement. GameEx.zip

I think the problem is the available video memory. It says you have originally 30mb video memory and after GameEx has loaded all the graphics it says you have 0. You can make gameex use less video memory by doing all or some of the following: Turning off "Advanced Graphics" Running at 640x480 resolution instead of 800x600 Running at 16 bit colour Turning off MAME ICONS These settings are in the advanced config app, under display setting.

Before helping, please download and install the latest version of GameEx.

Dear Community, I am happy to announce that Brian Hoffman now joins Headkaze, Adultery and I as moderators for the forum. Brian caught my eye due to his incredible handling of helping lots of new users for the forum, and doing it with the same kind of passion I have when developing GameEx. He really enjoys helping the community and being a part of it, so I thought it fit to reward him with giving him full moderator access to the forums. This also brings an even greater coverage of time zones if any nasty goings on happen. Please join me in thanking Brian, and welcoming him to the team.

It should deffinitly be fixed now.Can you all confirm please? I narrowed down the problem. It was happening when the google ads displayed Flash based ads. I made all the ads just show text, and it seems to be fixed now. Please confirm. Thanks.

That was fixed a few versions back.

There's a small bug with the site, in that some or all of the top menus dissapear every now and then, requiring a restart of IIS to fix. This update is fairly significant in terms of the video playback. I've been working on this for quite a while. GameEx would eventually crash playing only MNG videos in the screensaver, and continuously playing the same MNG when the screensaver was turned off would also crash. This probably also affected mpegs and avi's The alpha blending of videos was causing this due to a bug, and additionally, and stupidly the screensaver videos where also alpha blending. I was also using StretchBlt instead BitBlt when there was no need to use StretchBlt. So it all should run much faster now, and GameEx should never crash, ever. lol

16th August, 2008 - GameEx 8.73 Stability and performance improvements to snap videos, background videos, and videos in screensaver. (Including MNG)

14th August, 2007 - GameEx 8.72 Updated MNG libraries Fixes screensaver not running after playing some MAME games Video backgrounds may be slightly faster 13th August, 2007 - GameEx 8.71 Setup wizard now supports 250 emulators Emulator groups can now be placed under emulator menu

Try deleting the .map files in c:\program files\gameex\data Also make sure 7-zip is disabled. (try this first)

GameEx currently has the ability to support 999 emulator slots, but is currently fixed to support up to 255 through ini editing, just for performance reasons. There is also an optimization in place that any emulators greater than hundred will not load unless there all sequently enabled above that number. This can all be easily changed though.

Thanks again for your offer, and understanding. Hopefully I can fix the issue.

Its not that simple. I need a dedicated windows 2003 server, with 1000GB bandwidth allowance included, and no restrictions on hosting file downloads. Im not loosing the ads, its not going to happen, but thanks for the offer. Im still looking for a fix for the occasional page hanging, which to me actually seems a lot better now.

I've fixed the liks, but those torrets are pretty old now, and may not be active. Your better getting the MAME videos from emumovies, or using the MNG's if you can find them.

Maybe I broke something in a newer version, I know it did work when I tested it. I can think of no reason why it should not run. XP Home should be fine anyway.

Yeah, I very much doubt your getting screwed or anything, they are a reputable company. They probably suddenly got overhwhelmed with orders. I "heard" that they have been "dropping the ball" a bit lately.

It should run fine on any version of XP. Ive had no problems running it on XP Media Center. When I coded it I tested it on that.
