Hi all, I am using MAMEUI32 and it has been acting up suddenly on a new cabinet. The cab has a GP-Wiz40 installed and the GWiz has been acting fine with except that it refuses to allow me, while in the config menu of MAME, to make any button/stick changes to mapped keys for: Pause, Config, Exit, other admins... basically, any port from the GP-Wiz40 of slot 16-32 just will do NOTHING in the config menu or game play under MAMEUI32. This is screwy... never seen this issue before. The Joystick and Player Button remapping goes just fine and I can remap the Pause to a Player Button if needed.. but the hard-wired Pause on the GWiz does not get seen when pressed in MAME. Windows Game Controllers sees the input fine, no errors. Any ideas?? I have to have this cab ready in less than 2 days for an event and this suddenly just popped up as a major issue. (side note: I use Joy2Key for daphne and GameEx as the FE, and Daphne -which normally gives me issues- is working fine and the Pause/Admin buttons seem to work fine in Daphne)

I did some searching but am still not sure, as to how you can change the intro sound for GameEX. Anyone done this or know how to do so? Or does one simply replace the 'introsound' file .wav in the theme? Thanks.

Sorry if I am unable to find this answer thus far in my searching, but how do you, or is it automatic somehow, add a MAME game to the GameEX Favorites list?? Thank all. Oopppsss! found the info. Thanks folks

FIXED! Thanks to the ever wise and more than generous BH

I will try that now.. a complete reinstall will not take me too long since I keep my roms and snap movies on another drive, not CD's. Let me do so now and see if that helps.

Welp, I am a fool.. wrong one I listed. The Source I have is indeed 'mame123s'. *duh*

I am using MAME v123 (source mame0123b_i686) The source is extracted into my MAME Folder (and runs just fine in GameEX) I would like to stick with v123 for now, until I have a v124 rom set.

With luck I won't ever go over 2 posts Now.. anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong here?? ^

Triple? I only saw a double post.. and I 'closed' that post as best I know how. Sorry for the double clicking.

Maybe you folks can tell me where I have made a mistake in my MAME v123 Compile attempt: Directory Structure: MinGW in C:\MinGW MAME Source in Z:\MAME Diff/Hi Patch in C:\MinGW\Patches GameEX (reg'd) in C:\Games\GameEX When I attempt to patch the first 0123u1.diff I get this report on each notice: Applying Diff Patch... can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

-moved to new thread for specific question-

I setup the XVid Codec in my MAME machine.. AVI Snaps run fine now. Thanks.

How do you mean 'update the rom set'?

Hmmm.. never even heard of that item. I'll go check it out now.

No they don't. It's as if Daphne lets me make the mapping, but just refuses to release the 'default' keys as the only ones that will work. Its almost as if the Daphne program will play nice with the Player 1 Stick, but when it comes to the keys set to my GP-WizRX Controller, it gets all pissy and gives the device only the minimum needed keys/stick to play. Could it be moddy? And yes, I've spoken to a few folks on the Daphne Forums and the reply was rather direct.. 'Works fine here'

I am using MAME v123 and have had no issues mapping Joysticks to each specific game as needed. Joy 1 is as GameEX sets it normally, just make a change in the MAME Inputs (for this game) and set the P1 Right Joystick by direct input. That's how I set it up just today.

I have Daphne running very, very well via GameEX, but even though I have remapped the Daphne Config to my Control Panel buttons and options, it still won't take any inputs except: Joy 1 (4 directions), P1 Button #2 No Escape, no Credit Up, etc. The Daphne Config screens show on ALL laserdisc games that the keys have been mapped corectly, but when using GameEX the keys default to those above only. The Daphne Forums say there is nothing wrong... which is odd since I am watching the issue right now. Any clues??

I seem to have figured it out now. Using joysticks for the controls, something I forgot to mention here ( ) I now have the buttons mapped as: Button 1: Select Button 2: Step Back Button 4: Page UP/DOWN Button 5: Volume Control Thanks for the info folks, that got it.

HI all. I have been unable to find anything that really explains how to change a certain setting in GameEX. How does one change the Page UP / DOWN option to quickly slide from one section of the Game List to another in GameEX? I can change the MAME v123 UI Up / Down, but that only effects the UI for MAME itelf, not the Game List in GameEX. Thanks all.
