Thanks Draco ... that would explain that than. Any ideas on why it asks me to update my MAME list every time I start GameEx? Maybe I am missing something. This is all I need to fix to complete my build. Oh and btw, this front end is amazing!!

Hey guys, I am still getting prompted to update my MAME list every time I open GameEx. I have attached my .ini and log file if someone can take a look. I am stumped. Also, I have over 9k MAME roms, but only 3800 show up. I am thinking it is due to filtering. Thanks a bunch! GameEx.ini log.txt

tthurman ...... Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. I have a better understanding now. Could you tell me this - do I need to run AdvanceMAME? When I tried to configure it to work; it seems to have messed me up. I have my PC connected to a 55" LG HDTV.

Hello Folks: I am fairly new to the emulator world and have just successfully completed building my "retro" arcade PC. I think I have a pretty good handle on how things work. However, I am a little stumped on the MAME setup inside GameEx. I took my time searching through forums and questions but didn't fully find what I was looking for. Here are my questions: 1. Where is the recommended location for your MAME roms? Inside the MAME emulator folder "rom" location or to a folder I have GameEx pointing to (right now it goes to a separate drive that the emulator is not on) 2. Every time I start GameEx; MAME always wants to update it's list. Is this normal? Can I shut it off? What is the recommendation on this behavior? Mine takes forever to update. I have several thousand games. What is everyone else doing? I would love to hear from the community. Any other suggestions to my new project are always welcome. Thanks in advanced for helping me. Happy Gaming!! Jeremy
