The error does not clear up. it depends on the emulator, but i usually have to ALT + F4 to kill the emulator then exit GameEx. (this error wouldn't bother me at all, but some people don't understand when i tell them not to press the green button while playing a game... ) I did find a solution: I setup Girder to run a script killing all the emulators every time the green button is pressed. It kills them before media center launches, thus eliminating the error. My problem is solved. Thank you

I stopped using the advanced config but GameEx still doesn't exit properly. I still get a dialog box saying "your video card drivers are not compatible...." along with a black screen. This happens with all emulators. I love GameEx and it would be perfect if not for this little flaw.

I have over 900 NES games. I like the feature you added a while back where you can press a 'W' for example and the screen will go directly to the W's. My problem is that i am running my HTPC headless. It would be nice if pressing the 3 on the MCE remote would go the the D's and 4 would go to the G's, etc.

I am using version 5.09 and the problem is still there. If running Project 64 and the Green Button is pressed, a message box pops up giving the video card driver error, then it closes and media center opens. If running ZSNES, and the Green Button is pressed, the screen goes black and the only way to recover is to ALT+TAB to set the focus back to ZSNES then close down properly. I posted the log below because of attach issues. Thank you for all your hard work. 18:33:29.8 9/17/2005: GameEx: Version 5.09: Starting Log 18:33:29.8 9/17/2005: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 18:33:29.8 9/17/2005: Operating System Name: Windows XP 18:33:29.8 9/17/2005: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 18:33:29.8 9/17/2005: Checking Registration 18:33:29.8 9/17/2005: Running Randomize() 18:33:29.8 9/17/2005: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 18:33:29.9 9/17/2005: Running Misc startup tasks 18:33:29.9 9/17/2005: Setting Menu types 18:33:29.9 9/17/2005: Opening Configuration File 18:33:29.9 9/17/2005: Getting Configuration Values 18:33:29.9 9/17/2005: Using Theme: Default - GameEx 18:33:29.9 9/17/2005: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - GameEx 18:33:29.9 9/17/2005: Text/Language: English 18:33:29.9 9/17/2005: Applying Language/Text 18:33:29.9 9/17/2005: Creating Scancodes.txt (List of DirectInput scan codes) 18:33:30.0 9/17/2005: Snap Delay set to: 2 18:33:30.0 9/17/2005: Is Media Center running? 18:33:30.0 9/17/2005: Media Center is running 18:33:30.0 9/17/2005: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 18:33:30.0 9/17/2005: Media Center Mode 2 18:33:30.1 9/17/2005: Closing Media Center 18:33:35.2 9/17/2005: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 18:33:35.2 9/17/2005: Get other settings 18:33:35.2 9/17/2005: Using 2D Animations 18:33:35.2 9/17/2005: Mouse Input is disabled 18:33:35.2 9/17/2005: Launching HideOS.exe 18:33:36.3 9/17/2005: Hiding Taskbar 18:33:36.3 9/17/2005: Start work for Form 18:33:36.3 9/17/2005: Getting Original Screen Size 18:33:36.3 9/17/2005: Loading ICON 18:33:36.3 9/17/2005: Initializing Component 18:33:36.4 9/17/2005: Initialising Bass Audio Library 18:33:36.5 9/17/2005: Loading default loading screen 18:33:36.5 9/17/2005: Using General Font: HandelGothic BT 18:33:36.5 9/17/2005: Using Title Font: HandelGothic BT 18:33:36.5 9/17/2005: Initialising DirectDraw 18:33:36.5 9/17/2005: Applying GameEx is Loading Image 18:33:36.5 9/17/2005: Creating DirectDraw Device 18:33:36.6 9/17/2005: Setting Resolution to 720x480 32 bit color 18:33:36.6 9/17/2005: Creating DirectDraw Surfaces 18:33:36.6 9/17/2005: Creating Primary Surface - Full Screen Mode 18:33:36.6 9/17/2005: Creating Back Buffer 18:33:36.6 9/17/2005: Loading graphic surfaces 18:33:36.6 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces Misc and Dialogs 18:33:36.7 9/17/2005: Creating Surface Volume 18:33:36.7 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces Arrows 18:33:36.7 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces GameEXlogo Text 18:33:36.7 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces Toolbar 18:33:36.7 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces Backgrounds 18:33:36.8 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces Toolbar Controls 18:33:36.8 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces GameEx Logo 18:33:36.8 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces Home & Exit 18:33:36.9 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces Snaps 18:33:36.9 9/17/2005: Creating Surfaces Menu and List Bars 18:33:37.0 9/17/2005: Creating Fonts 18:33:37.0 9/17/2005: Creating Menu Font 18:33:37.3 9/17/2005: Creating Game Font 18:33:37.7 9/17/2005: Creating Game Font Standard Size 18:33:37.9 9/17/2005: Creating Font Black 18:33:38.0 9/17/2005: Creating Font Black Small 18:33:38.1 9/17/2005: Creating Game Font Faded 18:33:38.3 9/17/2005: Creating Title Font 18:33:39.0 9/17/2005: Loading Controls.ini map file 18:33:39.0 9/17/2005: Loading Custom Emulators 18:33:39.0 9/17/2005: Loading Emulator 1: Nintendo 64 Games 18:33:39.1 9/17/2005: Loading Emulator 2: Nintendo SNES Games 18:33:39.1 9/17/2005: Loading Emulator 3: Nintendo NES Games 18:33:39.1 9/17/2005: Loading Emulator 4: SEGA Genesis 18:33:39.3 9/17/2005: MAME CMD options: -skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo -triplebuffer -nowindow -joy 18:33:39.3 9/17/2005: Attempting to load game list 18:33:39.3 9/17/2005: Loading last used Game List 18:33:39.5 9/17/2005: Cannot Load Play List.

I have over 900 NES games. I like the feature you added a while back where you can press a 'W' for example and the screen will go directly to the W's. My problem is that i am running my HTPC headless. It would be nice if pressing the 3 on the MCE remote would go the the D's and 4 would go to the G's, etc. Thanks for all your hard work.

I tried that file and it still has the same problem. MediaCenterMode = 2 and check for media center = true

I am currently using GameEx 4.72 and the problem is back. When exiting GameEx with the GreenButton I receive an error: "your video card driver is not compatible with mce". then gameex exits and returns to mce. Thank you for all the hard work. GameEx is amazing
