I remember going to Radio Shack to play the home version of Pong in the mid-70s. Oh the memories. John

I launched GameEx after see that there was a new update, but I wasn't prompted to update to the latest version. John

* Greatly improved cartridge bankswitch type auto-detection. Stella can now (mostly) autodetect cartridge types 'E0', 'E7', '3E', '3F' and Superchip carts. Obviously, this autodetection is not infallible, but relies on patterns in the ROM data, and how it was compiled. Because of the auto-detection types already supported, almost all bankswitch info was removed from internal ROM properties. Set the ROM property "Cartridge.Type" to "Auto-detect" for this to take effect. * Added auto-detection of display type (NTSC or PAL). Currently, PAL60 ROMs will be detected as NTSC. This is almost 100% accurate, and fails in very few cases (for those that are mislabeled, the ROM properties can be set specifically). Set the ROM property "Display.Format" to "Auto-detect" for this to take effect. * Improved emulation timing when exiting one ROM and starting another. Previously, this could result in the second ROM having its sound start later than it should have. * Removed pause functionality from the core, since it's been superceded by the other event states. You can now enter one of the menus for a similar effect (options, command, debugger, etc). * Added toggle for PAL color-loss emulation, which defaults to off. Previous versions of Stella always used color-loss emulation. Related to this, added 'colorloss' commandline argument. * Added rudimentary support for configuring the UI palette ('uipalette' commandline argument) and ability to change the size of the launcher window ('launchersize' commandline argument). This will be expanded on in future releases. * Reworked options menu so it's now accessible from the ROM launcher as well as while playing a ROM. * Re-added ability to change the width and height of a Console. Related to this, changing XStart/YStart/Width/Height dynamically no longer resets the ROM. * Removed 'tiadefaults' commandline argument, since Stella will now default to using accurate positioning, and not use 'tweaks'. * Joystick code now allows all 4 directions; 'Bumper Bash' now works correctly. * Improved Keypad emulation; 'Alpha Beam with Ernie', 'Oscars Trash Race' and 'Magicard' now work correctly. * Reworked GUI code, so that all dialog boxes are automatically centered. * Added 'rominfo' commandline argument, which prints some detailed info for a ROM. * For the OSX port; fixed crashes in OpenGL mode. * For the GP2X port; some improvements to the sound code. * For the GP2X port; added vertical centering of the TIA image (when possible). http://stella.sourceforge.net/

Error: One or more theme objects were outside the bounds of the resolution To me it looks like your are using a theme that is designed for a higher resolution than you have your system running at.

I had this same problem around version 7.50. I deleted my gamelist.ini and gamelist.txt and then I was able to update my mame list. Maxx

Is there a way to create custom menus to group like emulator. ie Atari, Nintendo, and Sega menus with the emulated games listed in sub-menus. Maxx

I am a registered user and it seems to work with my other emulators.

Actually, the problem was that my roms were compressed with 7zip. I checked the ZSNES site and apparently the emulator won't work on compressed files. I unzipped the roms and the games load up fine. It's odd that the rom info and frame rates would show up but the game itself wouldn't load. I thought that GameEx handled the uncompressing prior to running the game. Am I wrong? Maxx

I am having problems with my ZSNES video in GameEx. ZSNES works fine by itself but when I launch SNES games in GameEx I see the ROM information and the frame rate but then the screen goes blank except for the frame rate. I'm sure it is a video setting, any ideas? Maxx

Tom, This fix worked on my machine. Thanks for the fast action. Maxx

I deleted my gamelist.ini, but that didn't work. I deleted my gamelist.txt and then it worked. Maxx

I am having the same problem with my new install of GameEx.

Cool. I just "Show Game Information" until then.

No problem. I love this software, that is why I am a registered owner.

I set my Sega Genesis rom filter to *.zip;*.bin, because my roms are zipped and I got the same results. Since that didn't work, I unzipped on of the roms and changed my filter to just *.bin. I went back into GameEx and tried to launch the one game and got the same results. Maxx

Sure here ya go. GameEx.zip

I am having the same problem with my system. The problem is happening with all emulated games, except Nebula and Daphne. The mame games launch fine. I tried turning on the "Show Game Information" option and that fixed the problem, but that is a feature I would rather turn off. My system is a: AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 512 MB Ram Windows XP Home Edition SP2 I have Framework 1.1 and 2 installed. I am using an X-Arcade controller. The games launch fine with the mouse but I get the same results as djrobx when using the controller. I tried using the "1" on the keyboard and I get the same results. I downloaded the the debug version and this is my log file. 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: GameEx: Version 7.04: Starting Log 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: Operating System Name: Windows XP 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: .net Framework 1.1 Installed 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: 1.8Ghz 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: Running Randomize() 18:13:59.1 1/13/2007: Loading PlugIns 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Running Misc startup tasks 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Setting Menu types 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Opening Configuration File 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Getting Configuration Values 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Using Theme: Default - Valhalla Default 1024x768 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Valhalla Default 1024x768 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Launching HideOS.exe 18:13:59.3 1/13/2007: Hiding Taskbar 18:13:59.4 1/13/2007: Is Media Center running? 18:13:59.4 1/13/2007: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 18:13:59.4 1/13/2007: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 18:13:59.4 1/13/2007: Media Center Mode 0 18:13:59.4 1/13/2007: Text/Language: English 18:13:59.4 1/13/2007: Applying Language/Text 18:13:59.5 1/13/2007: Snap Delay set to: 1 18:13:59.5 1/13/2007: Get other settings 18:13:59.6 1/13/2007: Set: Find emulator artwork on best match basis 18:13:59.6 1/13/2007: SlikStik support enabled 18:13:59.6 1/13/2007: Using DirectInput for keyboard input 18:13:59.6 1/13/2007: Start work for Form 18:13:59.6 1/13/2007: Getting Original Screen Size 18:13:59.6 1/13/2007: Loading ICON 18:13:59.6 1/13/2007: Initializing Component 18:13:59.7 1/13/2007: Initialising Bass Audio Library 18:13:59.8 1/13/2007: Loading default loading screen 18:13:59.8 1/13/2007: Loading Custom Emulators 18:13:59.9 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 1: Nintendo N64 (Project 64) 18:13:59.9 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 2: Nintendo SNES (ZSNES) 18:14:00.0 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 3: Pinball (Future Pinball) 18:14:00.0 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 4: Nintendo NES (NEStopia) 18:14:00.1 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 5: Atari 2600 (Stella) 18:14:00.1 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 6: Nebula 18:14:00.2 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 7: Atari 5200 (MESS) 18:14:00.3 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 8: Atari 7800 (MESS) 18:14:00.4 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 9: Atari Jaguar (Project Tempest) 18:14:00.4 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 10: Sega Genesis (Fusion) 18:14:00.5 1/13/2007: Loading Emulator 11: SNK Neo Geo (NeoRAGEx) 18:14:00.7 1/13/2007: Using 2D Animations 18:14:00.7 1/13/2007: Using General Font: Trebuchet MS 18:14:00.7 1/13/2007: Using Title Font: Trebuchet MS 18:14:00.7 1/13/2007: Starting GameExtender on: 127.0.0.1:8383 18:14:00.7 1/13/2007: Starting GameExtender Publisher 18:14:00.7 1/13/2007: Initialising DirectDraw 18:14:00.8 1/13/2007: Creating DirectDraw Device 18:14:00.9 1/13/2007: Setting Resolution to 1024x768 32 bit color 18:14:00.9 1/13/2007: Creating DirectDraw Surfaces 18:14:00.9 1/13/2007: Creating Primary Surface - Full Screen Mode 18:14:01.1 1/13/2007: Creating Back Buffer 18:14:01.1 1/13/2007: Version 2 Theme being used.

You will need an emulator. John

I use Bootskin and I have GameEx in the start menu. http://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/ http://www.wincustomize.com/Skins.aspx?Lib...;searchtxt=mame MD

The correct answer was B. Thanks

Thanks evh347 this worked for me too. I didn't know Bezel was an option.

Is there any way to roll back to a previous version? Is there a place I can download a previous version? My Mame games won't launch and I would like to see if they still work in a previous version.

Everything worked fine before the last update of GameEx. Neo Geo games work without any changes to my set-up. ctrlr option is on and it was on before the upgrade.

I have had the ctrlr xarcade set as an option from day one and it worked. The latest upgrade broke mame, so if using the ctrlr option is breaking it then it was something that was changed in the last update. I don't think it is the ctrlr option because I removed that option and it still didn't work. I did notice that the Neo Geo games are still working.

I am having the same problem. I have Mame v.108 and the games work fine outside of GameEx. I tried it with no CMD/Command options and it didn't help. I even reinstalled GameEx and that didn't help either.
