I have yet to see the flags. Can you post a screen shot for us Tom? I would like to see what it's suppose to look like.

It was changed in the recent release to include button 1 because the old way was causing some problems in some games.

You could create a batch file or even a script to do both in one shot and then run that in the launchbefore line. Someone else might have a better solution.

Best way is to just rebuild your set to the mame version you're looking to run. I'm not aware of a way for clrmamepro to tell you what your current version of roms are.

I had a problem with updating as well. Mine was not the exact error as yours but was a directx issue as well. Not sure if something is wrong with updating but I did a manual update to fix.

Updated through GameEx. Did a manual update and all is fine now. Thanks Tom. I should know better to try that before posting.

After update I'm unable to start GameEx. Anyone else having problems? I tried changing themes and resolutions but had no success. Here's the error I'm getting. --**-- 21:26:00.7 5/12/2008: Error: Value does not fall within the expected range. 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: at Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.Surface..ctor(String filename, SurfaceDescription desc, Device dev) 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.a(Surface& A_0, String A_1, SurfaceDescription A_2, Boolean A_3, Boolean A_4) 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.RestoreSurfaces(Boolean JustDispose, Boolean NoDispose, Boolean ONLYDispose) 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.a(Boolean A_0, Boolean A_1, Boolean A_2, Boolean A_3, Boolean A_4, Int32 A_5) 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.ig(Boolean reinit, String ctheme, Boolean nohideos) 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform..ctor() 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: It was detected you experienced a DirectX error. 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: Please note the following for possible solutions to your problem: 21:26:00.8 5/12/2008: 1.

Great job Tom! Thanks!

Yeah I have a few icons that do that due to drop shadows in them. Only solution for me was to cut all drop shadows out and use the polygon lasso tool to cut out my images instead of the wand tool. Would be nice if it could just handle it the way we like. Let's see if your bribe gets Tom to do it.

It's the way GameEx handles transparencies. headkaze explains here

This wrapper makes it more command line friendly since it doesn't accept command line parameters. Included files are: Wrapper (Copy to emulator directory) Wrapper INI (Copy to emulator directory) Emulator MAP Emulator Config Required Emulator Setup Settings: Rom Path Game -> Load game... -> Edit ROM Paths... Use Zip Names (Required For Wrapper To Work) Game -> Load game... -> Check Use zipnames in Misc Options Run Full Screen Video -> Switch to fullscreen after loading And of course all other settings needed to work on your machine. GameEx Command Line: fbevo_wrapper.exe [ROM] Enjoy! Comments and suggestions welcomed. Final_Burn_Evolution_3.04_Wrapper.zip

Cool! No problem.

I would just change the way it exits all together so that it will apply to all games. By every file, did you mean game?

Nice! Way to go Tom!

Just copy one of the ones already created, change the settings to your liking, and then name it whatever you want. Then it will be available for selection.

Did you select update list after you made those changes?

The files you're looking for are in the following folder: C:\Program Files\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS

Yeah I had that problem with a wrapper I was scripting as well. I could get it work just fine except for that issue. I could get it to run the table just fine but had problems with the libraries needed to run that table. So gave up at that point! I guess I could of figured something out if I had really thought about it. I don't know how you would go about programming it but I did it with an array and it ran the last table in the list since it was probably the highest version.

Can you test that please? Cuz I have roms in that folder that were extracted. Not too big of a deal as I only use a few goodsets. Only use the goodsets that no-intro doesn't support. Like Atari 2600 & 7800. So not really much space being taken up there. . Thanks Tom!

Sounds good Tom! Will it also delete the file and directory after it's exited? Cuz I noticed that it doesn't currently do that with the current setup. Or does it? Cuz I notice a Unzipped7-Zip folder with the roms that were extracted.

I personally would prefer it to be incorporated into GameEx. We have enough users that have a hard time setting up emulators as it is. I think a wrapper would just make things harder for them to set up. Also for those programs that require a wrapper already, would just have a wrapper for a wrapper. Just my opinion though. I think GameEx would really stand out above the rest if this was incorporated. Only know of one other frontend that does it and is not near the quality of GameEx.

Good job greatflash!

Ahhh man! After we put in all the work! LOL. . Oh well. Another emulator made more cab friendly. Will release hopefully today. Just tweaking it a bit as I had some trouble with some of the clones to be ran easily.

Got it working Brian! Will release when I finish fine tuning. Were you able to get F6 to bring up the game list cuz I was unable to do that?

Ahhhh good idea. I'll see what I can come up with as well.
