Karasu

Thanks alot! You'll have my donation soon !

Screen saver exits right away, I suspect this has something to do with the removal of the skip_disclaimer command.

Tom, minor bug, but I have noticed that with some game names, the list doesnt list them correctly. For example (there are several of these) - On the list, you will see games go like this: Space Stranger 2 Space Stranger or Aero Fighters 2 Aero Fighters 3 Aero Fighters Not sure if this is a setting or just a general bug. (going through alot of GAMEEX just to find bugs)

TOm, backdating to the old drivers worked like a charm. Game EX is faster than it has ever been, smooth as butter. San Andreas seems to play better also Now if I could get you to add the custom picture fields, so Crashtest's screenshots can fully be supported. But I will wait till he starts making screenshot packs again before I bother you with that yet Tom, one thing that I thought would be neat is if M1 could someone be added into Game EX.

I did a little search, seems Geforce drivers since about the 69 versions have all had trouble. I am going to try drivers (66.93) from last November...I just wish there was a better way to solve this at the expense of most my other games. Damn Geforce.

Youre kidding me, well can you at least recommend some I can use in place of the current ones (whichever you use, I guess)

Tom, you were right about part of the problem, however I am not sure where to continue. I went so far as to totally reinstall windows. Before I reinstalled the current official Geforce drivers, Game EX was fine (45-60 FPS) but as soon as I installed them and then restarted, back to the same problems. Also, before the driver install the icons were fine, but yet, right after its back to Golden Tee Classic's icon showing on King of Fighters 94, etc. I hope this helps you isolate the problem a bit more. Just to answer your earlier question, I have a Geforce FX 5200 and a gig of ram, so I think I should be good.

Tom, since I am on dialup ATM, I will try 62 and see if its better. If not, Ill post my specs/settings.

Since EL is probably dead at this point, I have switched back to Game EX...however it has been a little painful.(no offense) It is much better than it was last time I tried, however I did have some trouble. The icons for 98u1 dont seem to work properly, several icons are wrong (such as zombie raid having nagano 98's icon, and many more misplaced icons). Also the performance seems to have dropped dramatically. (I have a 3.2 ghz machine with a gig of ram and a good Geforce card)...The animations are quite a bit slower, and the whole thing tanks on my system. I went into the tweaks and performance, turned alot of things down, changed to less taxing theme, but it did not help much. I tried just about every tweak suggested, I still get horrible performance. Tom, perhaps you can help? (you were very helpful in the past) A few of the things I requested in the past were added, however a few things I have not checked yet (such as resizeable gamelist text). One thing I noticed that hadnt been added was the ability to type a game name, (such as S-T-R-E taking you to streaking) it will still take you to the first game that begins with s, than t, than r, etc. Also, it appears that the CRASHTEST type screen shots are not yet supported. (we spoke about thisbefore and I seem to confuse you) I love the frontend, esp how it handles cab cpanel pics etc, KEEP UP THE GOOD work, and I hope you can help me. thanks

Would like to be able to continue to use GameEX rather than Emuloader/EMucon, since Ciro now says several features I want to see will 'never' be added. GameEX is prettier anyway 1. I would like to be able to change the size of the game list font (right now it is so large games with long names are cut off). 2. I am not sure what this is called, but in Emuloader, if you were to type 'P-A-C' it would take you right to the first game with 'Pac' in the title, alphabetically. Right now in, in GameEX, if I werre to type P-A-C, it would first take me to the first game with 'P' then the first with 'A', then 'C', and so on. This can be annoying to scroll through the entire gamelist to find a game that isnt listed in my favorites. 3.The ability to minamize GameEX. Right now, all I can do is click another window to go over GameEX, but I cant actually min. it to the taskbar. 4. Much simpler console support. Right now, the only browse feature is when pointing to the folder then emu is in. In Ciro's Emucon, it goes by emulator type in the configuration menu. It also allows me to browse for the roms folder..in GameEX, the config menu wont let me minamize it to check what the roms folders name is...very annoying as occasionally it is not just 'roms'. Sorry for the comparison to Ciro's work, but a combination of some features would really help GameEX. Rather than the generic way the various 'Emulators' are set up now, perhaps it could be done by console type, so then the user should only have to point to the emulator and roms folder themselves? 5.VPinMAME support. Right now, GameEX supports the Visual Pinball just fine, but NOT the combination 'VpinMAME', which uses both user-made tables and the actual game roms. 6. Crash test screen support, but you and I seem to have commucation problems over what exactly I mean ...sometime I will PM you with the long explination. THanks, I really enjoy your program. I apologize again for the comparisons to Ciro's projects, but he had excellent ideas which could be used in GameEX. Karasu Mametesting project.

OK. Crash test of retrogames releases screen shot packs for MAME...which include a game's title screen, a 'vs' a screenshot for games such as fighters, a 'how to' screen shot for inscructional screens, etc. Right now hes taking a break for making packs but im sure he will be back. Basically what I would like...in the same area of GAMEEX where it asks for the flyer, cab, cpanel directory...if you could add all of the various different directory names for the crash test screens (as I said, title, vs, howto, etc - grab a crash test screen pack to see) and then for them to show up in the same way the flyers, cabs, etc show up when you select a game.

Perhaps this has already been asked (a quick look and I couldnt find anything like it though), but would it be possible to add a MAME screens type for 'title' 'select' 'vs' etc, so the crashtest screenshots I have would be usable in Game EX? BTW I love the frontend, this would be the last hold out for me having to use 1 other frontend !

heres the log with the debug build I can of course leave it off for now, but i did like that feature and it would be cool to be able to use it (it worked once) log.txt

I think I may have found it: it happens when I have the media player on, I tried setting it to '2' like you say in the FAQ but it will crash no matter what. log is attached, ill try the debug now log.txt

I have played around with GAMEEX, and tried everything it recommends, but I still get a crash after this entry in the log: 10:39:08.5 3/1/2005: Initialization OK! Starting GameEx! 10:39:08.5 3/1/2005: Testing Main Loop Once: Processing Frame 10:39:08.5 3/1/2005: Testing Main Loop Once: Getting Tick count 10:39:08.6 3/1/2005: Testing Main Loop Once: Checking for song change 10:39:08.6 3/1/2005: Testing Main Loop Once: Front buffer exists? 10:39:08.6 3/1/2005: Testing Main Loop Once: Surfaces need restore? 10:39:08.6 3/1/2005: Testing Main Loop Once: Checking Joystick for input 10:39:08.6 3/1/2005: Testing Main Loop Once: Drawing Background 10:39:08.6 3/1/2005: ERRORS DETECTED: EXITING Tried having it so it has no background, still no go. The first few times GAMEEX was fine and let me make a gamelist but even after a reinstall I get this error almost everytime.
