Thanks guys! Lots of hard work has been going on. We appreciate all the improvements lately.

Well the log won't give use much detail in this case since you're running a batch file and it doesn't read the output of that file. Is that a direct cut from the bat file or did you manually type that in the forums? Reason I ask is the misspell of "Ultils". I also notice that you use different methods of starting the batch files ("cmd /c" & "start """). That could also be an issue. If you want real-time support then we can set a time to meet in chat to troubleshoot as it would be faster.

Where are you pointing to xpadder? In the bat file? In the config? Just make sure you adjust where xpadder is located where ever you're calling it. Maybe post your bat file or emulator config where this is occurring so that we can troubleshoot.

I could be wrong but I thought it was suggested that we don't share compiled versions of MAME? Also would benefit the user more to compile on their own when there is an update. Are you receiving any errors during compile? Did you follow the instructions off of headkaze's website? What are the contents of your MinGW\source directory?

Hmmmmm that was how I got it to work with my testings. It seems like your config is not being read by the emulator. I don't know at this point as that's how it works. For some reason yours is not. Maybe it's a permissions issue or something. I would have to see the behavior for myself and figure it out. This is an emulator I don't use. I'm just going off my testings and documentation. You're having a conflict somewhere. Perhaps meet me in chat sometime soon for real-time support. I may even suggest remote support which I help members with from time to time.

I am unable to duplicate this issue on 2 test machines. I would try an offline install perhaps to fix any corruption that may have occurred during upgrading. If not then please post your log.

Try my post above. I made a small change to the launch before. If this doesn't work then I suggest meeting me in the chat room for real-time support so I can figured out how your system functions.

You shouldn't have to. But you can if you want. Did you compile correctly? If so then just copy your MAME.exe to your MAME folder and use that exe in GameEx.

The source file is the file needed when compiling. Once compiled it will compile a new MAME.exe. As stated in an earlier post, that's the file you need to copy over. Not the source file. Then you should be good to go. That explains the 7-zip process you're seeing as well since the source file starting when calling that file since it's a compressed file that contains all the source files needed and am sure causes problems because trying to run with incorrect parameters.

To me it would seem that the user is using the source file instead of the binary.

And mine! I've kept my mouth shut for too long. LOL.

This is the ROM information. Taken from the readme-windows.txt file: To not display this information, edit the following in the snes9x.conf file in the [settings] section: Change from: MessageDisplayTime = 120 Change to: MessageDisplayTime = 0

Thanks Tom!

I see no humor at all.

I can believe it!

Hmmmm that's odd. I just tested the youtube bbcode and it worked. So not sure if maybe it wasn't used correctly or what but yes media will work as well.

So it's just a simple remap. There's different ways to go about it but I'll just work with what you have. Try the following please: Launch Before: start "" C:\AUTOHOTKEY\megadrive.exe Launch After taskkill /f /im megadrive.exe

I deleted your double post. It really depends on what you're trying to accomplish and the details of your script. Maybe post your script.

What does the log indicate?

When posting, you'll notice on the top of the editor that there is a question mark. Click on it and it shows all the bbcodes we use here in the forums. I've linked to it here for you for future reference.

There is another setting that is conflicting with it. I'm pretty sure I know what the setting is. I just downloaded this emulator and instead of doing it the gui, the command-line switch should be used. That way it will be universal to all users. Seems in the config for this in GameEx that the sendkeys is used. This is not necessary. This is why I don't use those configs. Please try the following: snes9x.exe -fullscreen "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" This was tested in Snes9x v1.53

This is do to a change in the release of version 11.82. Details about it here and quoted below. Advanced Config is no longer supported so this setting will not be changed. Must use Setup Wizard.

Thanks Circo!

No problem! I had remember seeing it recently. Should thank headkaze as he was the one who knew the solution. Theme editing is not my expertise.

It's hard to say. It would require research to see what version your roms are in. Basically looking in each rom file and see what the specifics of it's contents. There are no tools to tell you this. IMO it's not worth it. Just rebuild your roms to the latest version of MAME or the version you intend to use. Rom management tools will aide you in this. ClrMAMEPro and RomCenter are among the popular ones as well as newer ones popping up in the community.
