Ahh. Thx. i had tried "regular" gameex but not sure if i had disabled "verify", not sure i'll, ever understand what ClrMAMEpro is, but i'm allready somewhat closer to getting my problem solved, thx. to varius replies and searching other posts, i do believe that putting everything in the folders suggested while running the gameex setup 1 st. time, e.g. c:\emulators\mame32 helps somewhat, i also thinks that theres something to be gained by having everything setup correctly first time you run the setup, since subsequent updates somehow seems to pick up stuff (lists/games) from earlier runs, even though i have reinstalled both mame and gameex to new (and clean) folders. I've setup a very nice and perfectly smooth PinballX system, guess i was hoping the Arcade setup would be as "easy". :-) I know that theres a lot i don't understand concerning mame in general, so i'm sorry bout my "noob" statements. :-) BTW! Black Night rules on pinmame! :-) @Tom Speirs my disk are both SSD, so thats not the issue. :-) To summarize i think maybe some file or registry have been saved on my computer, from the first time i ran the game update, and maybe this file needs to be deleted to "reset" my setup, also i have allready increased the speed somewhat, not sure exactly how, but putting files in various folders as suggested in the gameex wizard, seems to have increased the speed, i think i'm down to maybe 15-30 minuttes.. I Will make some more test (monday when i've sobered up, from the weekends christmas parties), monitoring the log closely, as this has allready proven very usefull. If i find a solution i will post it here! :-)

Sounds like good advice! Where do i turn verify off??

That seems very fast indeed, it's the same setup here though, so not sure why yours is so fast. What do you mean by "baseline", on the newest releases dl page in can choose between mame0180b_32bit.exe or mame0180b_64bit.exe, on the previous releases page, the latest version is 1.79.. My PC Specs: AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core @ 3.81GHz (standard) 2 x 120GB SSD 16GB RAM Geforce GTX 1060 (3GB) Windows 10 64bit I'm not running much else at the time i update. After 5 minuttes its at 25% reading "listinfo.dat" there are 2 roms in the roms folder, nothing else have been copied to Mame or Gameex folders.

Thx again! :-) I will try with regular Gameex. :-) Btw. it is faster with only 2 roms, but it still takes something like 15-39 minuttes to complete.

Thx, for a fast reply, no the issue doesn't seem to be there when otherwise running. I will try out "regular" Gameex, the reason this is a major paine for me, is that the PC i update games lists on, is also the PC i watch TV on, and basicly does "everything" on, i tried creating a "Virtual PC" via HyperV on my server, but it didn't seem possible to run Gameex/Mame on this platform.. I could run it on my actual "arcade machine" but the hardware onfiguration in this is somewhat subpar to the job, so it would take forever to do it there. :-) I consider your answer as "solved", is there a way to indicate this in the "thread"?

Thx. For a fast reply! :-) Sp just to clarify, my original question, theres not much difference, in the time it takes to update the games list, when i have 700 Roms in my folder to when i have only 2 roms in folder, is this correct for the current version?

Even though i have set the option to hide desktop to "No", my desktop still seems to be hidden, and it's somewhat difficult to use my PC, while i'm updating games list. I'm running the latest version of Gameex "Arcade" (?) and Mame (1,80b), as of 7/12/2016, the gameex exe file states that is version 1.00, though i think the version nr. shown when i dl'ed it was different. I'm currently running Mame in the 32bit version, but have tried the 64bit version with the same result, not that the Mame version should be significant in any way, seeing that the problems seem to be solely related to gameex.

Hi i'm running the latest Mame, and Gameex Arcade (as of 07/12/2016), i was wondering if there is a way to make updating games list faster, it takes forever and seems to tjek up to or over 6000 titles, even when i only have to roms in my rom folder. Is it possible to edit some list (xml?) file or something to speed up this process? The reason is i would like to quickly test if new roms are recognised and working in gameex, i know i can test the roms with mamegui or mame, but that's does not verify if gameex recognises and are able to run the game (in my very short experience). I know i'm supposed to attach my ini and log files, but since this is a general issue not applicable to a certain version, i choose not to do this.. Hope thats allright.
