Mime

Yo guys! I have just finished my first arcade machine and all the small bugs are starting to get ruled out, the machine almost runs perfectly now. But one thing that always annoyed me a bit, was that you get to see the windows desktop before it loads GameEx. Then I found an application called InstantSheller that could be able to hide the OS completely, so that you actually â??bootâ? directly into GameEx. Have any of you guys tried this? I am asking because I read that it was supposed to work with the command line version of mame, and I am using mame32 Furthermore it is said that it has only been tested on an XP Pro machine and I am running XP Home. So what do you say? Impossible?

Hey! I finally found it! I just set the â??use bezel in vertical gamesâ? to â??donâ??t show bezelâ? BANG problem solved.. time for some unspoiled gaming! Thank you guys!

Okay I cheeked for the MAME.ini file en the meme directory, but itâ??s not there. The closest match I could find to the MAME.ini was a file named Mame32.ini, it has some reference to the artwork path but no -artwork argument. As for the GameEx.ini I found it, but I canâ??t find any -artwork commands in there. Now for the good news When I removed the -artwork from the Run Last Game bat file I was able to run â??non workingâ? games from there. But if I run a working game from Gameex and then one of the â??non workingâ? games again, the Run Last Game bat file has the -artwork argument replaced and therefore the game is not working again. I guess this is loaded into the file because of that freakinâ?? -artwork setting I canâ??t findâ?¦. Any ideas?

Hmm.. Doesnâ??t look like it, there are no files by those names in the mame32 directory. Doesnâ??t this confic have something to do with GameEx and not mame?

Hey how do i "remove the command line argument" where can i find it?

Hey fellow mame enthusiasts! I have just built my first arcade capinet, and need some help on an error I am getting from GameEx. In total I have about 130 games in my game list in game ex, but some of them wonâ??t start correctly, Iâ??m just getting a black screen and that windows â??doohâ? sound, then I am thrown back to the gameex game menu. To isolate the problem I tried to run one of the affected games directly from mame32 and then there are no problems at all. To further investigate the problem I started gameex and ran the screen saver to get a idea of how many of the games that wore affected by the error. I estimate about 30 of the games are affected but only if I run them from gameex. I had a sneaking suspicion that a error message was hiding behind the gameex window so I ran the â??run last gameâ? bat file in gameex and bingo, this awful error message was thrown in my face: Error: unknown option -artwork. So what the hell does that mean? I am fairly new to Gameex so it could just be me doing something wrong, but then again, why only with some of the games? Any help gladly appreciated
