    DVD sound

    I tried using FFDSHOW and that doesn't even play the video. I never had that and it used to work, so my next question is has the newer version of Gameex changed how this could work? I uninstalled FFDSHOW. It makes no sense that DVD's and videos play fine in both windows media player 11 and in honestech outside of gameex, but in gameex, the video works with no sound. Is there a sound setting for DVD's in gameex? I'm stumped...

    DVD sound

    I downloaded FFDShow and now windows media player 11 plays video and sound when used on its own. Honestech does the same. Gameex is still muted and I am sure there must be something to this since I had it working before. How can I be sure that even though honestech is in my ini file as the decoder to use, that gameex is using it? A dialog box pops up and asks me if I would like to use FFDShow to play the vid, but if I select Yes, then nothing plays, if I select NO, then I get video without sound.

    DVD sound

    I put it as an attachment. Since it is really long, I figured it would take up too much space. Also, it wouldn't let me upload an INI file so I made it a txt file. Let me know if you cannot read it for some reason and thanks for checking it out.

    DVD sound

    I had a system crash and I am rebuilding windows and gameex. I have everything working except for I cannot get any sound from a DVD or off of my hard drive through gameex. I am using Honestech dvd player and it works fine when playing it through it in windows. I have the setting set to use honestech in the gameex settings. Attached is my ini file. Any ideas? GameEx.txt
  5. I have never had any luck with the sounds stuttering. My son loves spiderman and I have tried everything to stop the stuttering to no avail. Fortunately, I have just gotten used to the sound when he plays it. The worst culprits for me though is Tron and Toobin. I cannot get them to work no matter what I do and the stuttering is SO annoying. Usually when I mess around with the settings, the sound get worse and transforms into a high pitched garbled noise that truly hurts the ears. If anyone has a magic way to fix this, I would be super appreciative. I am using 125u4.
  6. Thanks for the info. Where are the favorites stored? And, are my URL's and web settings stored in gameex.ini?
  7. I think I need to reinstall windows and start from scratch. I love the way Gameex is setup. What files do I need to copy from Gameex so that I can just replace them once I reformat my drive in order to keep everything the way it is now without having to re set everything up?
  8. I turn on my puter, run gameex and it crashes every time. Attached is the log and settings. Anyway, I tried to repair .net 2.0 and it crashes during install. My computer now reboots itself if I try to run Mame. What would you guys do to try and fix the problem? Pretty much no matter what i do I am a crashing. Thanks in advance. crash_6_22_08.txt

    Game list

    Here is my gameex.ini. I only come up with 390 games even when I turn verify ROMS off and reupdate the list. BTW, I was just too lazy to change the file folder location, all of the roms are still in C:\games\Mame32UI v. 123\roms even though I am running v125u4. Like I said in my last post, all of my Roms work in mameui32 and they all appeared before I decided to update my game list like a knucklehead.

    Game list

    OK, so that sounds like it could be the cause since I bought my romset with version 1.22. If I turn verify romset off then rebuild the gamelist it should work because all of the games were working with 1.25 prior to updating the list. Here is a question. If all of the games were working (and do work with mameui32) what is the problem with the roms? Is there a subtle thing wrong with them that I just don't see? This has always been somewhat confusing to me. Also, where do I find clrMAMEPro and what exactly does it do to the roms to "fix" them for the new version? Thanks!

    Game list

    I updated my game list within Gameex and my list went down from 2,500 games down to 300. I went into config and opened up everything. I even allowed non-working games and updated the list again and still only like 400 games. What am I doing wrong? I haven't changed the Rom folder or anything like that. I am sure this is a simple fix and something obvious I am overlooking. Thanks in advance!

    Rankings.ini

    I must be doing something wrong. I created a file folder customfolders in Mame and put rankings.ini in there. Then I went into gameex's settings and browsed to that location for custom lists location and I still don't see the rankings list anywhere. What am I missing? Also, I setup a favorite radio station in the gameex settings and radio stations don't show up anywhere. Where would a radio station link show up, I assumed under multimedia...

    Thanks Brian! I just downloaded autohotkey.
  18. I tried 9.28 and it doesn't play from my playlist at startup. So I loaded 9.29 and when I ran gameex and went to the jukebox, I had a fatal system reboot. When I go to Win XP event viewer, it appears that Ati2mtag crashed (CPLIB open session failed to load the library). Any idea what this means? After the reboot, gameex works, although it still doesn't play the songs in the playlist.
  19. I have a USB trackball in my control panel, is there a way to have a button on the control panel double as a left mouse click? Also, is there a way in Gameex to have a button dedicated as a shortcut to open the jukebox? Thanks!
  20. I knew I would get flack for disassociating myself with Bocelli. Which is why I didn't mention that my wife also like WHAM too. I can handle when people say that deep down I like the creepy blind guy, but noone better say I like George Michael ;-) hehe. As a side note, I spent a little more time on it and I am convinced it is a bug with the options. It just doesn't make sense that it works when I play my playlist manually, but not with the startup options. The wierd thing too is that it doesn't even play in shuffle mode when I have it try to play my playlist at startup, it just plays the same Bocelli song... Let me know when you test it Tom and Thanks for making Gameex, it is almost as great as a smooth Andrea Bocelli ballad!
  21. To defend myself, it is my wife's music - not mine - that plays causing embarrasment. Trust me, I do not like Andrea Bocelli.
  22. I have adjusted the settings for gameex to play the jukebox at startup and to play from a designated playlist. For some reason, it always plays at startup, but it will never play from that playlist. Unfortunately, it always seems to fire up Andrea Bocelli and my friends make fun of me. I currently changed gameex to not play the jukebox at startup for fear of embarrassment, however, is there a way to make it play only from my playlist or is this a bug? I can manually startup the jukebox and make it play from my playlist, just not at startup.
  23. I am using arcadeVGA. With one of the newer monitors, can I use any graphics card I choose? Is soft25khz a tool to allow that? DJ infinity, I finally posted this question on the monitor section of BYOAC as has been suggested and I just asked you the same question over there. Too funny.
  24. Tempest. If you sent something, I didn't recieve it. I just realized that my junkmail e-mail has been shut down so I just set it up to one that works. Please resend when you get a chance and thanks! Dean
  25. What is the trick to getting on that forum? I tried to register on Friday and still have yet to get admin approval. I think the problem withthe Wells Gardner comparable monitor is it says that the resolution is 640 X 200. I currently have a WG monitor and windows looks horrible in every resolution. I think that is why. I found this one by Makvision on the Hap site. http://www.happcontrols.com/monitors/49305600.htm anyone have one? At least the resolution is 640X480 although I really want 800X600.
