Weirdly, playing any retroarch emulator game works well, however, exiting that and launching another ROM gives a black screen then: ------------------- 17:18:04.70 7/02/2018: Running: cmd.exe /c E: retroarch -c "E:\Emulation\Emulators\RetroArch\config\generic-fullscreen.cfg" -L "E:\Emulation\Emulators\RetroArch\cores\nestopia_libretro.dll" "E:\Emulation\ROMs\Nintendo NES\Roms\Test ROM.zip" 17:18:04.84 7/02/2018: Shutting down display 17:18:05.65 7/02/2018: Back Pressed, exiting emulator 17:18:06.15 7/02/2018: Exiting Game ------------------- If I then exit GameEx and relaunch it, I can launch the game correctly, but launching a second game encounters the same issue. GameEx seems to think an exit button was pushed and kills the process... Any thoughts?

This is still a problem, have you had a chance to look at this?

Can you try 'hammering' the quit button to see if you can get GameEx to crash again? I'd like to confirm it's happening for someone else as well as me.

Reconfirmed on a separate install on a separate machine, this is definitely the problem.

Found the cause of the crash! Now I just need you to fix it. - I have Escape tied to both "Quit" in games and "Cancel/Back" in GameEx. So when a player wants to quit a game and go back to the main GameEx menu they hammer the arcade button on the side assigned to "Escape" to quit the game and "Escape" up back through each GameEx menu (log attached)... ... It seems that if you're in a game and HAMMER Escape as fast as you can, the game quits but then as GameEx attempts to reload, GameEx crashes. I'm pretty sure you'll see the same issue, load a game, when it loads hammer whatever key you have assigned to 'quit' very fast. GameEx will most likely crash before it reappears. gameexerror.txt

I'm using 8.07. GameEx was easily worth the purchase and I was actually quite surprised by how few bugs there are. Although... 1) The snap issue is definitely still there, with the "Snap Best Match" the screen shot for "Galaga 3" is the screenshot of "Galaga" while when I turn it off it's the correct screenshot. It's not a feature I want on anyway, but you may want to fix it. 2) GameEx still crashes on return from MAME very occasionally. Next time it happens I'll post the full log. Thanks again for a great product.

Excellent. Does anyone have any ideas why GameEx crashes occasionally after returning from MAME? (As per my main question above).

1) Occasioally after I exit a game (MAME) GameEx will crash with the following error. 13:40:58.3 22/04/2007: Running: cmd.exe /c C: C:\Emulators\Mame\mame.exe rodland -rompath C:\roms\mame -triplebuffer -nowindow -joy 13:44:47.6 22/04/2007: 21 Consecutive Exceptions Occured: Exiting 13:44:47.6 22/04/2007: First Exception: 13:44:47.6 22/04/2007: Error in the application. 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface..ctor(SurfaceDescription desc, Device dev) 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.InitDirectDraw(Boolean FullScreenWindowed, Boolean nodispose, Boolean reinit, Boolean DontLoadSurfaces, Boolean SetSizingX, Int32 RefreshRate) 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.ReInitDDraw(Boolean NoDispose, Boolean DontLoadSurfaces, Boolean SetSizingX) 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DoneMAMEDaphneGame() 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.LaunchSelectedMAMEGame() 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.processgamemenu() 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DisplayFrame() 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: Last Exception: 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface.get_SurfaceDescription() 13:44:47.7 22/04/2007: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DisplayFrame() 2) GameEx displays the wrong snapshot for some games. I'd assumed this was a problem with the screenshots themselves but when I go into some games with incorrect screenshots to see their details the correct screenshot is shown. When I go back to the main MAME list, the shot is now correct.

I've just purchsed GameEx and have noticed one thing that would make it 'complete' for me. The ability to put other emulators ("Commodore 64", "Sega Genesis", etc) on the main menu page and remove all other options like "News", "Configuration", "Multimedia", etc. All I want on the main page is: MAME Commodore 64 Sega Genesis Most Played Favorites Exit/Shutdown (Though I'd like to be able to hide this if possible).
