Hello, i'm searching like crazy for the wheel logos for consoles like the nes or Sega genesis. I could not find anything on the Emumovie page and also nothing in the systempaks in the download section here. Where do i get the nice cut out names of games in .png fromat? I do have the MAME ones. Thanks and sorry if i'm asking something obviously but i really tried hard to find them.

I did the search and replace in the gamelist and replaced all V|224|320 with V|352|288 now everything is working fine!!! no stretching and the 640x480 are interlaced. Thank you! I spent a great amount of time to resolve this (but learned 1 or 2 things) Thank you so much for resolving this! But Gameex arcadevga setting is hopefully not sending the resolutions in the gamelist with a command and a romfile to mame? it just looks if a resolution is above 288 and stretches, right? or if a mame game uses 640x480 and sends it interlaced?

I want gameex to not stretch any mame games because streched looks always bad, especially at a arcade monitor, that's why i have the custom resolutions set for every game in the ini folder of mame ( i did that wit AVres). i want only that gameex is outputting 640x480 mame games in interlaced because i need that. The gameex stretching is in many mame games that are vertical and have the 224 x 320 (Raiden DX, Dragon Blaze, Ashura Blaster, strikers 1945...) or 240 x 320 resolution like raiden DX. when these games use my custom ini's with 352 x 288 when i start them in mameui they look good on my monitor. when stretched they look terrible.

Hello, i'am using a horizontal setup. I have tried the 15-31hz and fired up Bells & Whistles and it was still stretched very bad. should i try the 15-38hz setting? is gameex then outputting 640x480 in non-interlaced? because i need what ever gameex is doing to 640x480 games in mame. thanks for your effort

Hello, I do use a Standard Arcade Monitor 15KhZ with a Arcade VGA Card. I set UsingArcadeVGA=True to play Mame Games with 640x480 interlaced in ddraw. This is because i have to run my Windows Desktop @ 640x288 because of directdraw. when i start a 640x480 mame game outside of gameex or with UsingArcadeVGA=False i get the direct draw error from mameui. Sadly when UsingArcadeVGA=True is set GameEx tries to stretch Games that have a higher resolution as 288 (V) and i don't want anything at all to be stretched. I have set every mamegame with a perfect resolution to run at but GameEx is looking into other files and is picking up for example 224 x 320 (V) 60Hz for Bells & Whistles and stretches the fuck out of that game until it is unrecognizable butt ugly and unplayable. In my ini file the game runs in 352 x 288 and when i choose it outside of gameex it runs at that resolution and looks fine. I don't want GameEx to mess around (especially stretching) with my mame games with resolutions smaller than 640x480 and only want 640x480 games to be displayed in interlaced because i want to bypass the directdraw error in mameui. Even my commands for mame like -nohwstretch in the wizard are overwritten. my desktop resolution of 640x480 in windows is interlaced, 640x288 is not interlaced. Is there a way to do this? Can i set a mamegame with 640x480 to display interlaced in the .ini of the game in mame and do the same as gameex does? Is there a setting i screwed up in gameex? How are other people with a arcadevga, mame with directdraw and gameex doing this, playing vertical games without annoying stretching from gameex and also are able to run a mame game with 640x480? Thanks Mogg GameEx.ini log.txt

hehehe yes, and wondering if i make a mess of money...

Hmm, maybe i cut my post to the point. I was to excited about it and just wondered...

Hello, i searched here on gameex forums and found out that the box was discussed here a few times a while ago and its working and everything. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/544088930/bliss-box-4-play-universal-video-game-controller-a is there any alternative? how do you connect your original hardware to your pc? greatings mogg

YES! It is also working here. Does anybody know how to make SSF auto choose the Region? I have PAL USA and Japan games and as far as i can see it is only possible to choose one region in the emu. If i want to play an other region i have to first change it in the option of SSF which is a totally nasty and breaks the experience of gameex. Thanks for fixing the bug!!!

I am using Alcohol 120%

i am also using the ARCADE VGA 5000 card (AMD)

yes exactly the same here... log.txt GameEx.ini

Hello, any news on the SSF error? i would really like to play my brand new saturn collection on my cab and would love to avoid setting up yabause.

Thanks for your post! I did what you suggested and did include the files one by one, and update one by one. The only files i am using now are catver.ini (mame 0.170) my mameinfo.dat (mameui 0.169) and a up to date history.dat Every other support file (Category.ini, control.ini, nplayers.ini) where removed by me and some then where redownloaded by GameEx. Now every Game has a Category again! Can't believe it that it is now working. Thanks again for everybody's advice!

@ all: Thanks for your suggestions @ B2K24: thanks for your screenshot! I did follow your setup wizard screenshot and also tried to make a update without any filter at all (majong casino) but even with 10000+ roms in the list it does cut betweeen P and Q no matter what.

Hello, sadly it still does not work and nothing changed. I have updated my unaltered 0.161 complete romset to 0.169 with the help of update romsets with Clear MAME Pro. My set is now up to date with the 0.169 "MameUI64.exe" and this is my log: Version: 0.169 (Dec 30 2015) Missing·Sets 14/35814·ROMs 20/245403·CHDs 47/866·Samples -/15566·Bytes 640kb/181gb What really stands out is that still with a COMPLETE new Romset ( is missing 640kb bad?), after the letter P the roms are not giving categories. it did not change, not one rom, qbert is still without a category.By using different catver.ini, as described above, the letter changes a little bit.I really assume that there is a GameEx error here. i will finish my cab today and do a complete fresh install of GameEx in the future without using any files of my current GameEx installation because i did try a fresh install and copied my old files over. Seems the only option left but thank you tthurman to point me to Clear Mame Pro, its a great tool and i will use it in the future, its good to know now to have a romset that is matching exactly my MAME version if anybody still has an idea i will try anything to avoid a clean and fresh install

Thank you for your quick respond and that you took the time to clarify! I have an unaltered backup of the 0.161 romset so i will first try to use that and to get all the files for the 0.161 build. Then update GameEx and hope it works. Best regards Mogg

Thanks for your advice, i'm in fact using a complete romset based on 0.161 but thought when i use romcenter and choose there the new Mame64UI.exe file, that romcenter renames the files when i use the repair option. in the log there where some roms renamed and many where repaired. i thought it would be like having a new romset with the build of the Mame64UI.exe. and of course some files in the roms missing because of new dumps etc. 1. Do i always need a complete romset complementary to the Mame build (0.169)? In the beginning of using gameex i had only a little collection with aprox 1000 different mame roms from different builds and it did work. I did try my old catver.ini but that was also from an other build, not from 0.161 and it did stop between other games but also in the same letter region. 2. Maybe i do not understand how the catver.ini works, if i am missing one rom on my hdd the catver.ini stops there? if one rom is renamed in the new catver.ini and is not matching my roms on my hdd it will stop there? 3. Should i try to use an unaltered Mame 0.161 rom set with all the support files for the 0.161 build (catver.ini category.ini nplayers.ini mame.dat) and if, where do i get the old 0.161 files? thanks for your support this drives me nuts

Thank you, it kinda helps. The break is now exactly between the letter P and letter Q so that from Qbert until letter Z the games are not having a category :-( . But now i have M like Mortal Kombat and N thanks to you! I did read about custom Catver.ini 's where for example racing is only one category, does somebody use this and might attache it? I wonder that nobody ever had this issue? I'm making a cab and maybe i start from scratch because if 1000 mame games don't have a category its hard to navigate and those might be unplayed because of this.

I am using this branch: dolphin-Triforce-4.0-315-x64\Dolphin-x64 then under dolphin configuration "Gamecube" you select SP1 AM Baseboard on Port1 AM Baseboard and on Port2 Steering wheel and you have to use this:

Hello, this is what you are looking for: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin User Folder Structure A number of user writeable directories are created for caching purposes or for allowing the user to edit their contents. On OS X and Linux these folders are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Dolphin/ and ~/.dolphin-emu respectively. On Windows the user directory is stored in the My Documents folder by default, but there are various way to override this behavior: Creating a file called portable.txt next to the Dolphin executable will store the user directory in a local directory called "User" next to the Dolphin executable.If the registry string value LocalUserConfig exists in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Dolphin Emulator and has the value 1, Dolphin will always start in portable mode.If the registry string value UserConfigPath exists in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Dolphin Emulator, the user folders will be stored in the directory given by that string. The other two methods will be prioritized over this setting.I hope it works for you and please if you solve your issue give a reply, i like to have separate controls for triforce so that my steering wheel is active when i play mario kart arcade gp 2 cheers!

Hello, i updated my Mameui64 to 0.169 after that i updated all the files gameex is looking for in its mame settings in the data folder (F:\GameEx/DATA/).There i updated Category.ini, catver.ini, Control.ini, history.dat, nplayers.ini, mameinfo.dat to 0.169then i update my gameslist in gameexthe games from the first to the 1242 game has now a category displayed so "mermaid" as the 1242 game in the list is labeled as " Sports / Misc. " but the next one "metafox" (nr. 1243), has not a category ( must be " Shooter / Flying Vertical ") and from there on until my 2526 game ,as the last rom, are not giving categories. so half of the games from "metafox" on don't have a categoryhow is that possible? what have i done wrong? why is game ex stopping in the middle with labeling the games with categories? the catver.ini looks like this at the point of break (without the red and bold and italic of course): mermaid=Sports / Misc.merryjn=Casino / Reelsmes=Laptop / Notebook / Portablemessimg_disk_image=System / Devicemetafox=Shooter / Flying Verticalmetalb=Shooter / Flying Horizontalmetalbj=Shooter / Flying Horizontalmetalman=Electromechanical / Pinballmetalmx=Driving / Race (chase view)metamaq2=3D Printermetamrph=Fighter / 2.5Dmetamrphj=Fighter / 2.5Dmetamrphu=Fighter / 2.5Dmeteor=Shooter / Fieldmeteorho=Shooter / Fieldmeteorp=Electromechanical / Pinballmeteors=Shooter / Field Please help me, without categories its very bad to have a huge mame rom collection and no possibility to sort it :-( ThanksGameEx.ini log.txt catver.ini

If you have any success pleeeeeeease submit your solution. I gave up on fixing and have to use a xbox controller :-( Thank you in advance you are our only hope obi wan

Thanks for your help! I will buy a ATI card then and start the CRT project with my virtua fighter cab as soon as i have the spare time. happy gaming!

Hello U-man, thanks for your advice. I will give the monitor a try and buy a low budget ati card! Is GameEx still working good on that setup with displaying games text and videos and so on? I also tried the prescale from 8 to 5 without noticing any difference. Then i tried your HLSL setting and it gives the extra pop on the pixels and looks very nice. i do like it better and using it now. Besides i couldn't quite remember where i got my setting but i think there was a U-man and jezze in that mame forum :-)
