I tested both your Joust and Brokeh themes Draco and had the same problems. I went back to Retro Box and have no problems.

Wow that looks fantastic! I'd love a theme that looks like that.

I only have the Dark Nebula and Confluence 720p themes. I switched to the Retro Box theme that I like. If you would like me to download certain themes to test just let me know which ones. Confluence works like Dark Nebula does.

I just switched from the Dark Nebula to BlueEx 640x480 and that works perfectly. I even rebooted into that theme and it still worked. It must just be the 720p themes I downloaded. I'll stick with that until I find a 720p theme that works. I'm curious if it's the 720p or just those custom themes that's the problem. Function over beauty at the moment. One side note. The Change Theme did the same as my game lists did. I had to do my trick to change it.

!MVI_0732.MOV Ok. Here is a video of my problem. I didn't film start up due to file size restraints. At the end of the video I was trying to show that when I go into Configuration and then exit right out of it, I get to that smaller menu and it works once. It takes too long to show up to film. Hope that helps. I'm determined to get this working properly!

No I didn't buy an new key. I put in a request for a key and received it in an email (thanks!). I did that incase I needed to do a total wipe of GameEx. I could try and video it on my phone tomorrow. I haven't done that before and don't know if the file would be to large to up load. I did install GameEx over itself and the problem remains. What does GameEx save when you do that? I ask because that could narrow the possible problem.

I think the only change I've made to Game Ex is when the folder changed for background music. I believe I used the blue and white. That works correctly. I've clicked through the new setup but didn't make any changes.

I backed up the GameEx folder and reinstalled GameEx over itself. The problem remains though. I guess if I want GameEx working properly, I need to do a total wipe and fresh install. I did find a way to get it to work currently. If I click the Configuration icon and then click on the red x I get a smaller menu. It has the four options: change view, back, home, and exit. They all work until I right click out of them. Then I go to the larger top menu that doesn't work. If I do a clean install of GameEx, what file/files do I need to save to keep my GameEx favorite games? Is it worth the hastle? I was able to retrieve my GameEx key, so that's not a problem. Opinions welcome.

Thanks for the replies Draco 1962. I'll do that. One last question. If I reinstall GameEx, do I need my registration key again? It appears I didn't write it down. I thought I saved the email, but I can't find it. Is there a way to request your key?

I deleted those files and the problem remains. At this point I probably need to reinstall GameEx. Is there a way to save my GameEx favorites and import?

Thanks for your reply. My system is: Windows XP 32 AMD Arhlon 64x2 Dual Core 4400+ 2.31GHz Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX 2 Gigs of ram I attached the 2 files you asked for. Are the cached files you were talking about in the Data folder? I wanted to make sure before I went deleting the wrong files. log.txt GameEx.ini

Hello. I've had this problem for awhile, but just now getting to seeking help. After an update (probably a year plus ago) I can no longer see lists of all my games. What I mean is if i click Future Pinball, it will act like it is going to the screen to see all my Future Pinball games, but then just come back to the Future Pinball selection again. It is this way for all my emulator lists. My Favorites and Recently played still work and any game I click on still works as well. I am also able to go to search and find some of the games that way, but it makes it difficult to try and find games I haven't played yet. I thought an update might fix it, but I had trouble with that at first. The box for the update would come up, but then it would load in the weather, news, etc and then the box would be gone. I did find the update at start up in setup and got the update to go, but the problem remains. Any help appreciated. I've probably had this GameEx setup since 2008. Thanks in advance.

Yes it is quicker. I'm glad that info was posted, cause I had no clue. Thanks!

Thanks for the replys. I'll check that stuff out when I get the chance. Getting lots of overtime at work this week. Still loving this theme and can't wait to see your next one greatflash.

Where is this alpha/paging button? What's it look like?

I'm liking this theme so far. There is one thing missing though. Those little arrows that you can click with the mouse to move through the lists quicker. It takes forever using the joystick to scroll through all the mame games. Is there anyway to add those?

I love the Street Fighter games. A PC version would be the best! I use the X Arcade tankstick and bought the playstation adapter incase a PC version isn't released. I don't own a PS3 yet, but if there's no PC version, I'll get one.

I just wanted to thank you for posting this theme. I use GameEx on my HD TV as well and this theme is perfect for it. Looks great in 1080p and just a nice job all around. Thanks!

I hooked my rig up to my 42" LCD TV through HDMI. Looks amazing!! I'm also using the X-Arcade Tankstick.

Yep. I was having the same problem and this is the fix.

I've been trying to get the DVD playback working, but haven't been able to. In the config, I have nothing to enter in the DVD MPEG 2 Codec. I can play DVDs fine on this HTPC with Nero Showtime. Is there anyway to get Game Ex to launch that to play DVDs? If not, what product would you folks out there recommend? I've got a 5.1 surround sound connected and I'm playing it through a 1080p TV. Running Windows XP 32 bit and just have a reg DVD (no blue ray). I also installed FFDSHOW for whatever that's worth.

I went back after I posted and then found the update list button. That was it. Thanks.

Hello. My problem is as stated above. Crazy Climber 2 appears in MameUI, but not in GameEx. I thought if I went to Advanced MAME Settings and changed Use Game Filter to No that it would show, but it hasn't. Infact, when I change this setting and then restart GameEx, the same number of games shows as before. Any ideas?

Yeah thanks! So far it's all good!

Thanks for taking care of that so quickly! I'll look forward to that update.
