hi tom, just tryed the latest version 5.33 and it is still loading the emulator and the exiting after starting the rom back to gamex. it also does this in mame to, i am really stumped as to why i does this the log is normal as gamex starts the emulator fine, not really sure what to try will have to spend some time seeing if other programs are conflicting or the set up is coursing the prob, dont know if anyone else is still having this problem.

the problem is the same one as people are posting in the Games not loading (or are they?), Going crazy thread. i have posted in there. the setting is the map key when its turned on it exits the emu stright away.

right, there is an issuse with the MAP KEYBOARD COMMANDS setting in the config for curtain emulators that was not there in previous versions i know this because i had them all working perfictly in older versions and did not change my config just upgraded then the problems started. i have uninstalled and re installed and re configed and when i turn on the command that allows you to exit the emus with the esc key it causes the program that you try to load to exit as soon as it loads. other people apear to be having the same problem. though is this dependent on the emulators you use? dont know. anyway there you go

its the same problem as the thread are emus loading or not, there is a problem with the map keyboard commands setting in some emulators. which makes them jump right back out again. i did not used to have this problem in the past releases. so might be something you have introduced.

im also having this problem as well, it was resolved when i turned off the map keyboard comands for the emu, might be a problem there.

is it just me with this problem or am i doing something wrong with it ?

i think i have found the problem, it is when you turn keyboard mapping on for the emus. the mame works until you try to load a emu game and then it starts returning to ex. when i turn this off then the game loads fine, ive only tryed the snes one so far. im now using the 6.00 beta but it still appears to do this i dont know if anyone else is having this problem. hope this helps.

ive uninstalled .net 2 and it still seems to do it, though it did manage to load one sms game. then did not do it again. could it be to do with the show desktop bit. the emu is loading and stopping straight away. though nothing is being pressed.

gameex as stopped launching emus since i installed .net framework 2. and updated to 5.21 and onwards. the emu launches and then stops and goes back to game ex. it does this for all the systems. As anyone else had this problem it was working well until then. dont really want to uninstall .net as im playing around with media portal which needs it. any ideas.
