After many tries and errors and some hair gone from my head , i finally got Gameex to work Case closed i hope

Updated info 3 Hi Just for fun i installed Gameex on my other computer AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+, loaded up a mame game in Gameex and just when the game starts up, Gameex crash and get same error i got on the computer i have in the cabinet. Note: Yes, i know its a old log, but its same error 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Device.SetCooperativeLevel(IntPtr windowHandle, CooperativeLevelFlags flags) 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Device.SetCooperativeLevel(Control parent, CooperativeLevelFlags flags) 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.InitDirectDraw(Boolean FullScreenWindowed, Boolean nodispose, Boolean reinit, Boolean DontLoadSurfaces, Boolean SetSizingX, Int32 RefreshRate) 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.ReInitDDraw(Boolean NoDispose, Boolean DontLoadSurfaces, Boolean SetSizingX) 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DoneMAMEDaphneGame() 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.LaunchSelectedMAMEGame() 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.processgamemenu() 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DisplayFrame() 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: Last Exception: 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface.get_SurfaceDescription() 00:09:45.2 2007-05-22: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.DisplayFrame() I have also googel Object reference not set to an instance of an object., im a not a programmer but found on this site Object reference Regardless of the scenario, the cause is always the same in .Net: You are trying to use a reference variable whose value is Nothing/null. When the value is Nothing/null for the reference variable, that means it is not actually holding a reference to an instance of any object that exists on the heap. You either never assigned something to the variable, never created an instance of the value assigned to the variable, or you set the variable equal to Nothing/null manually, or you called a function that set the variable to Nothing/null for you. As i get this error, could this be a bug in Gameex? Tspiers do you have any solution for my issue? Sincerely Blacktiger

Updated Info 2 I have now played around the settings in Gameex and the Error unknown option: -artwork is now gone but still some problems. When i loading a game, the game starts up and jumps back to Gameex or i getting the error below, but if Gameex starts a game in attractmode, the game starts up fine but jumps back to Gameex if i try to start it. I have also tried disclaimer setting on and off in Gameex, but did not do any difference at all. Any ideas?

Hi I have latest drivers for my radeon 9600 installed, alhough i had older driver installed before i did the reinstall of windows xp, but dont have them saved. First i had Mame32 0.114 installed and then i tried Mame 0.115u1 and Mame32 0.115u1, i had Mame32 0.114 installed before reinstall of Windows xp when Gameex worked. I tried Gameex 8.09, 8.10 and 8.12, is it possible to get 8.02 or near to try with? Sincerely Blacktiger

Hi In mame itself the artworks is working fine, it is just in Gameex i got this error when i try to start a mame game from it, i also tried to untick artwork option in mame but did not help either and i have the latest artwork installed. Thanks anyway Sincerely Blacktiger

Updated info I have now tried a clean install of Mame32 still same error in Gameex, have also tried dos version of Mame and it jumps back to game selection screen of Gameex when i try to start a game in Mame, although no error message when using dos version of Mame, have also tried different version of Gameex, but still no luck so i giving up now . The strange is that Gameex worked fine before i did clean reinstall of Windows XP, so i was thinking that i might missings some software that Gameex need, i have latest directx, windows mediaplayer 11 and net framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed. Any ideas whats wrong?? Sincerely Blacktiger

Hi Thanks for your answer, i have now checked out the runitgame.bat file but did get the same error, although if i deleted -artwork option in it and run the bat file, the game starts up. So what setting in Gameex adds the -artwork option? , i have open mostly all ini files and searched them for -artwork, i have also attach screendump of the error. Sincerly Blacktiger

Hi First time i installed Gameex mame games worked fine, then i got some problem with codecpack i have installed, so i decied to reinstall windowsxp. After installation i got some problem with Gameex, when i start a mame game, i get a blackscreen and hear beepsound and jumps back to Gameex screen of the game i have choosen. Then i exit Gameex, i see Gameex.ink dos window is still open and a error requster window with this error message Mame "Error: unknown option:- artwork" and sometimes it says Mame "Osd init failed". Also if i try to start the game again when it jumps back to Gameex, i got the error log below after some tries. If i start the games in Mame32 instead, they work fine without any problems. Any ideas whats wrong or is it any settings that i have wrong??
