Pandemonium

There moving hosts so they should be back up soon .

You may find this useful http://tomspeirs.com/gameex/Shell.htm worked well for me

As the error log says "path does not exist " so go back and check your path for this emulator

I use the mirror from my bedroom and place it in front, then at lest you can see what you are doing ! It took a whille to find the sweet spot that works for every game and windows but it works great now

Happy Birthday Mame !

Change the Show Desktop to Yes in each of the emulators setup in GameEx Config .

I have used your old one on my cab for ages and this looks really good I love soul Cablibur , just have to wait to DL now

Yeah , that seems to have sovled it , kind of strange that .

You tried using fraps ? its really easy to use. Realtime Video Capture Software - Have you ever wanted to record video while playing your favourite game? Come join the Machinima revolution! Throw away the VCR, forget about using a DV cam, game recording has never been this easy! Fraps can capture audio and video up to 2560x1600 on dual-core CPUs (1152x864 single-core) at up to 100 frames per second! Fraps Website

Yes it happens from the start of gameex booting, I use the quickres tool to give me a res of 640x480 it should be set at 32 colour but it may be (for some reason ?) set or messed up , Ta for your help

Sorry bit vage then, every thing is fine one night then from switch on the next day it will start from then , its never happends from a return from a game, the only new emulator is the atari jag which is disabled at the mo. No new drivers have been installed , apart from .net 2.0 could it be that maybe ?? Thanks .

Hi , Once in a while I have a text problem that happends on every menu ,main and sub screen . The only thing that clears it up is a reinstall of GameEx, and has happend about 4 times now and only on this ver of GameEx ? I am using a arcadeVga card and I think it may be a confict with gameex and that as it dont happen anywere else and every game runs fine ? I have checked though my log and dont see any thing wrong there either .
