  1. So I switched over to just use videos in attract. I kind of like that mode but the videos are being stretched. I was thinking about resampling them all but isn't there an option in GameEx to maintain ratio? Because I didn't like the stretched videos I downloaded a Mame x64 0.198 version with No Nag. All I did was overwrite the mame64.exe and now my box has run for two days in full attract mode without crashing. No idea what other options were compiled in but the stock 0.198 is possibly the problem??? But I also got a GameEx update at roughly the same time, so not real sure what the fix was, but everything seems to be working again.
  2. If I switch back to simple screen saver, the box never dies either.
  3. MAME crashed for sure.... Your always up front gui still running. But GameEx doesn't respond. Most certainly a bug in GameEx. If I run a MAME game only via GameEx, it will run for days. I tested that, that actually works. Let GameEx launch stuff via screen saver, box will die in a short period of time.... maybe 20 minutes or so... sometimes maybe an hour...., the box isn't dead, just the always on top GameEx gui is taking over or GameEx died, hard to say which, but only a reset will fix. If I run my game program it never dies.... but I like GameEx launcher and gui, please fix the bug. nothing to do with memory.... Send me a message offline and lets debug this.
  4. Yeah, the box NEVER crashes running normally, but when I leave GameEx running I get the black screen of death. The box isn't dead, just that GameEx has disabled basic input. If I remote desktop into it I can recover. GameEx has a serious issue. I will find a way to fix it, like I did before. But thanks for your input. Was just hoping that someone else had seen this.
  5. No idea what you are referring to
  6. Already updated all drivers, the box works perfectly except for attract mode. That's when GameEx crashes.
  7. Nothing to really see in the log.... But here it is It looks like since a recent Windows 10 update, the box goes into possibly power saving mode. Maybe?? I've went to device manager and basically disable everything from being shutdown from power savings. I must be missing something. log.txt
  8. So I tried GameEx again and it was actually working pretty well.... But got the update for Windows 10, not sure there is a relation, but now my box runs fine for awhile but then I get a cursor spinning and nothing I can do but shut off my box. I went and made sure all USB power saving are off.... doesn't matter... eventually I get the spinning cursor and the only solution is to kill power.
  9. That of course worked. Not sure why I should have to do that, but thank you very much for your assistance.
  10. GameEx.ini log.txt
  11. Has anyone noticed any missing roms. For example tempest does not show up in my list. When I launch the game with mame alone it works fine, but doesn't show up in GameEx. I have also downloaded the MAME 0185 rom set from archive and am using that.
  12. Thanks again for your support, I do like your product but need something that doesn't crash, I will keep an eye watching though
  13. Thanks guys for the support, I'm going to switch to another launcher, This one is just way too buggy. I found one that works to my needs.
  14. Tried numerous versions (some I compiled, some just downloaded) currently using 0183 from source (compiled with directinput) and using the -autosave option and yes ROMS match.
  15. All power options have been disabled. The problem seems to be when exiting MAME. In screen saver mode when MAME crashes, sometimes GameEx survives, sometimes it comes back with the UI present but no options on the screen. Even sometimes when I just exit a game in MAME, the same things happens.
  16. No matter how you attempt to get there GameEx comes to the foreground. Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Esc and select the task manager from the start bar, doesn't matter, gameex takes over. You can see task manager is running, but doesn't help. Also if you click the x while alt tabbing, that doesn't kill the app, or click close app from the start bar. I will try disabling touch when I get home tonight
  17. And Yes Lav Filters is installed
  18. log.txt GameEx.ini
  19. Let me clarify a few things. 1) I'm running Win 10 on intel graphics. 2) I'm sure it's in the task manager, but I can't bring the task manager forward. If I ctrl-alt-del and start the task manager, it's launched but GameEx keep bringing itself forward. If I could have a quick solution to this, where I can easily get to the task manager and kill the process. I will grab the supporting logs asap
  20. I used GameEx for a while and lately all it does is crash. The last log I got was totally blank. I was simply exiting a MAME game. What's worse is when it's automatically showing games, (which I love that feature, it looks really cool) but then I walk away and back over and see GameEx is sitting with a dialog box up that MAME crashed and when I click cancel on that box, GameEx return and I can't do anything. The only resort is to reboot. Pretty much making this launcher unusable at this point. 1) can you make it so I can at least launch a task manager and kill the task 2) why is gameex crashing just because MAME crashes?
