Every time i update a new mame with gameex it takes maybe 2-4 hours, it always does, a few months ago i kept thinking that gameex had just crashed, but just let it keep going, a pain in the arse i know, but i normally have a kip... mak

i tried for 2 weeks recently to get it to work properly... but gave up.. i moved to retroarch mednafen core for psx and it runs flawlessly... no more need for daemon tools as it has its own loaders. i'd check it out... mak

Cheers Tom, Working now... That was swift!! mak

Matrix, Im getting the same thing, a gameex dialog, with either '0' or '16' or '31' in it... that's it... click ok and it just quits.. my log is the same as yours... hmmm... hopefully someone will work this out mak

Yes i did, i've had a head-start over most to be fair as i worked as a computer graphic artist in the 80's and 90's so it's pretty easy to knock things together... i have the menus in the same style as i have my cabs... i have 2 arcade machines, a goliath cab and a taito field goal cocktail, both converted to mame cabs... i like the menus to be clean and clear for my own personal tastes, i've been using mala for about 3-4 years, but it was kinda sluggish which seems bizarre as i have fast machines, i tried hyperspin over the last couple of months, but it's way too graphical and garish for me, and even in the simple modes i couldn't get it to display the games list just how i want them... then i found gameex about a month ago, got it absolutely perfect, except for the start menu... shame, but i'll have to live without displaying the videos on the system select.. not a big deal... i've enclosed the marquee i'm using on the goliath, nice and clean... hahahaha... cheers mak

Must apologise it appears i actually am a cabbage!! i've re-read through the feature requests and i've noticed what i wanted to do with the start menu i obviously can't, sorry fellas mak

u-man thanks for the reply, i've enclosed a snap of what i have temporarily... the menu we're looking at here is the start menu, in simple mode, the idea being scroll up and down the systems select screen and an image of the system (SNES)(image2) is displayed and a compilation video (SNES)(image1) showing underneath of the selected systems games... all good... in theory... i've setup for each system image snap path = snaps-ingame title snap path = snap-title with this set up, on the system select screen we get the system (SNES) video displayed correctly below a randomly selected (SNES) ingame snapshot obviously not what i want... i tried a new directory called snaps-gameex, and pointed image snap path to it, added the SNES.png it displayed nothing, added any other png image to the same directory and it will randomly select one of the 2 and display it.. (i'm guessing this is a bug but not a problem as it will at least display the system image..., above the video of the system (SNES)... all good... now obviously my images don't display correctly in the selected systems games list, as image snap path is now pointing to a directory with only 2 images in and none of them correspond to the name of any of the games.... i'm sure i've explained this whole setup like i'm a complete cabbage, but hopefully u get what i'm saying... any help appreciated... mak

Firstly can i say what a great front-end and thanks to the author... I have a similar problem, i'm displaying a custom list for say 10 systems, i have a video playing in the first image which shows various ingame footage of games for that system, and is called 'Atari 2600.flv' for example, in the same directory i have an image 'Atari 2600.png' and i want the image 2 to display this image... whatever i try i can't get it to work, sounds like a similar problem to you... am i missing something simple fella's? mak
