Hi certainly possible but its not on the list at the moment, sorry.

remove the MAP file, and check the FAQ

Hi, There should be no need to do a map file for N64 games, as you can use the GoodTools to rename the file names. MAP files are only needed for a very few emulators. Google goodtools etc, and dont use a map file. Tom

Hi, sorry, I've been a little busy in the real world I must admit its the first time I checked out Screenshot archive, and it looks very cool. I did not realise the filenames are already in Goodtools format, which makes this quite doable, and a good excuse to add the favorites feature for other emulators too. Your comments and request are deffinitly noted. Thanks for your support. Tom.

Go grab the latest version just uploaded. Please let us know the results. Thanks in advance. Tom

Hi, GameEx can already be skinned to some degree by using themes, although not everything can be changed such as like with MAMEWah. Looked in the pinned topic for sample themes. Sorry, I had to edit your post. Tom

I've just tested 0.93. I can't see any issues. I did get a few less games, but I probably need to update my roms. Galaga seemed to be there. By default the update is based on the XML list of roms from MAME and a Verify of your ROMS. In addition the Only Working, Allow Imperfect, No Clones, No adult, and Filter settings It is probably just a MAME issue. They make tons of changes throughout the versions. A few versions back all Neo-Geo games would not verify until you got a new file. Although I think they did run in MAME32. So the obvious thing to do would be turn off the Verify, or get the latest roms and audit them. You can also have the update check against file rom names on the hard disk, or list everything. Basically unless you know what your doing and can obtain new roms easily, updating to a newer MAME version will probably mean you have less games to play. Tom

The version attached before does fix the problem, as I could duplicate the issue on MCE PC. I'll get an update out today hopefully.

I think MAME 0.93 may have broke some stuff, I'm looking into it now. For Previous version you need to set allow imperfect for Galaga to show. I take it you tried that? Thanks, Tom

I just wanted to say, that it will save a lot of time and hassle if when reporting problems you include the following when posting. Your log file. Your Gameex.ini file The version of GameEx The version of MAME Quite often new releasese of MAME break things in front ends, so the latter can be very helpfull in helping me fix the problem. This is deffinitly apparant in recent posts. Thanks, Tom.

Hi, Pictures are still under development. Sorry about that.

Its actually under Tweaks, but try this version, I think it will fix the issues. Its a bug in GameEx for sure. If it works let me know, and ill release on the masses. Thanks. GameEx.zip

I think this is the problem. Set Load Playlist on thread to false under Audio settings. That was a new setting in recent releases.

Hi, Can you post the full log, and then: Can you replace GameEx.exe with the attached debug version. Run and post the log around where it fails, along with your gameex.ini file. Also let me know about you software setup and hardware. Thanks. GameEx.zip

Thanks, deffinitly a good thought, keep em coming.

28th February 2005 - Version 3.40 of GameEx available Now uses -vol -32 instead of -nosound for mame and attract audio modes with no sound. This fixes attract mode and launching games when using 0.93 of MAME, although is not a temporary fix.

Hi, I have found what I think is a bug in MAME 0.93. The -nosound command setting appears to stop games working. This affects Attract mode when you have it set to not use mame sound, and could also affect normal launching of games if you has set the audio mode to not use audio in MAME. I'm trying to report the issue at mame.net now. Thanks. Tom

Hi Toonces, I see the problem your talking about, well spotted. Thanks. I've fixed it, and it won't happen in the next release. Cheers.

Hi, It's not a bug I am aware of, and it works fine for me. GameEx now has a last MAME game item on the start page, this allows you to access the last game that was launched either by you or by attract mode. That should address your feature request. In addition, after attract mode fails, try to access and play this last game. If it works it may be a bug with attract mode, if not maybe something to do with your setup. Another way to test this is to select the Run Last Game shortcut from the GameEx Start menu Programs Group. Let me know. Thanks. Tom.

Make sure Debug is set to false. Also ensure the batch file runs ok outside of GameEx. I suspect there may be an error in it. Let me know. Thanks

You can do the same thing, but have to use .bat files instead of .lnk files. Here is a sample emulator config: [Emulator_6] Enabled=True STARTPAGENAME=PC Apps TITLETEXT=PC Apps StartPageLogo= ROMFilter=*.bat RomsInFolders=False RomPath=C:\lnks SnapPath= WorkingPath=C:\lnks MapKeys=False WaitBeforeKeys= SendKeys= ReplaceDash=True ReplaceUnder=True Capitals=True RemoveBrackets=True ShowDesktop=True Debug=False MAPFile= AlsoLaunch= Command=cmd.exe /c "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" OLDatZip= On win 98/me you would use command.exe instead of cmd.exe In C:\lnks you would have batch files (text documents with the bat extension) For example: notepad.bat calclator.bat Here is how your .bat file might look (edit with notepad) C: CD "C:\killergame" killergame.exe The MapKeys setting won't work, as GameEx can't tell what the application exe file is. Hope this helps. Tom.
