It's there for just that reason. To resize. When troubleshooting (you should know) that I run GameEx windowed as remote software doesn't play well with fullscreen apps. The option to resize the windows gives me the ability to make it the size I need to see whatever else I'm doing on the screen. I would try maybe an offline install and see if your problems go away as I'm unable to duplicate. Then next step would be is to reboot.

These should have been created with the install. There are files in there which are required to compile MAME. Perhaps you installed to a different directory?

Run Setup Wizard as administrator and then make the change. Then report back.

According to the original post it's occurring during both. I can not duplicate this issue. Perhaps as Tom suggested. Can you give more details on when this started happening?

Sweet. Sorry I didn't think of it sooner.

I take no credit for this as it was mentioned a few times in the forums. I just remember reading it after thinking about this and I did a search. Search results turned up a few posts about it. I give credit to those who discovered the switch as I'm not sure where it is documented since I never really set this up myself. But am glad I remembered and that it was found useful.

@bkenobi Surprisingly it wasn't needed. The script worked outside of GameEx without the comma's and backslash. So it wasn't really required I guess. I haven't scripted in AHK for years. Oh well. Best to learn the correct syntax anyways. LOL. We thought we had it fixed when we tested but it turns out it only worked windowed and not fullscreen. The real problem was using a link file that pointed to the script. Apparently this particular game didn't like that and errored out. I suggested to just put the script in the same directory as the links to users other games as that seemed to be the solution cuz in testing, pointing to the exe directly worked. Still waiting for results from user. Till then, I have removed [RESOLVED] from this topic's title. @massop I remember reading about this so I did a search. I tested this and I was able to launch just fine using a shortcut. For this game, a script is not required which may fix your issues that you're having. In your shortcut for this game just point to the SF4Launcher and add the "-play" parameter after it and it will load it automatically. For example you target would be: "C:\Program Files (x86)\CAPCOM\STREETFIGHTERIV\SF4Launcher.exe" -play Mind you this is for my system. So just point to your location.

Resolved! User didn't have hiscore.dat file.

Bliss is also my suggested emulator. I have a list of emulators that I suggest in the link of my signature. It needs some updating but gives an idea of what I find to be the best suggested emulator for that system. It's info I've collected from years of experience as well as recommendations from emulation sites and the emulation community. So is this issue resolved?

Resolved. Issue was with the syntax of the script. Below is the correct syntax. { run, D:\Program Files\CAPCOM\STREETFIGHTERIV\SF4Launcher.exe ;Run program WinWait, STREET FIGHTER IV LAUNCHER ;Wait for a window named "STREET FIGHTER IV LAUNCHER" to load WinActivate ;make that window active } send {ENTER} ;send Enter key to program

From the post it looks like the SendKeys is for Handy not Nostalgia. But the command-line seems correct. User forgot the backslash (\) character.

Please meet in chat for real-time support. If I don't catch you then what exactly is causing that error? GameEx, AHK, or the game? What are the results when you run it from the runitgame.bat file?

@ Rodney! I just downloaded your video file. Kinda hard to tell from my end but looks like your background is shifting a bit. If so then try this. If not then sorry. Report back and we'll troubleshoot from there.

No problem. Enjoy! Marking as [RESOLVED]!

Thanks Tom!

Welcome to the forums. I am not understanding correctly. You have over 10 yet only 30 are showing up? Maybe a typo in the numbers? Lists not being listed correctly are often due to filters or the details of the roms themselves. Please clarify.

Thanks for the share!

Is only one game being listed in the mame list? Perhaps the filters are filtering it out. May depend on your filters or may even depend on your roms which probably is unlikely since MAME32 is launching the correct one. Please go over your filters. Also give more detail. May be a good idea to save your gameex.ini file as a text file and post in the forums so that we can troubleshoot.

Please clear the WaitBeforeKeys and SendKeys settings as they are no longer required with the settings I mentioned above. That should be the fix. That's what I figured it was which is why I asked above. Hope that works.

Please post your emulator config again as mentioned.

Thanks Tom!

Please meet me in chat for real-time support. Chat is found in the tab on top of the forums.

No problem. Marking as resolved. Yes this should work as long as your use the same methods for doing things. Enjoy!

mame (application) as in mame.exe? If so then that's your compiled version of mame. That's the file you need to copy over to your mame directory and run that in GameEx.

After all that and you switch? Next time I'll just suggest another emulator before downloading to troubleshoot for nothing. LOL. Will do headkaze! I haven't looked through them as I've never used them. When ever I see something that could be handled better then I'll make the post.
