Regarding the few years part, I'm a dad and have two small kids. Getting the emulation back up and running was kind of at the bottom of my list. But now my son is 4, so it is time to introduce him to the classics. @Draco, thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. To be clear, I just did a fresh OS install and wiped the drives. Then did a re-install of GameEx. I'll try it again though, really want this to work.

No sir. I've either just plugged n played or downloaded the official Microsoft management software.

Hi, I've been having a problem with GameEx for some time now. It used to work fine, but for the past few years, I can't use it properly. The problem is whenever I launch GameEx with a USB controller plugged in, it constantly makes the sound of Windows detecting a new device, and then Windows detecting the device being removed over and over and over and over. I have used an Xbox 360 wireless receiver with wireless controller and a wired Xbox 360 USB controller - it happens with both. I have tried changing the setting to "All detected devices" or the specific device. I've reinstalled Windows, GameEx, you name it. The controllers work just fine with the emulators separately. But when GameEx launches the emulators, the games are unplayable, because it keeps detecting the controllers being added and removed repeatedly in the background, sound included. Really frustrating because GameEx worked just fine with my setup for years until about two years ago. Didn't see this problem anywhere else in the forums. I'm currently running Windows XP sp3 on my rig. Can anyone help? log.txt GameEx.ini
