Please forgive my sophmoronic knowledgebase, but I have these questions: What is a cavlist and is it good to have for Mame32 like it's websight suggests? Does anyone else have the problem that CPSketchr never loads (seriously, I've watched it eat up 50% of both cpu's and never initialize, and by never meaning forever) What abut the 7th button that I've built into my control panel tat no game sees to use? what does anyone do with it?

Thanks to the people who wrote back. Here's where I am so far. Downloaded the latest mame32, which took a while. Apparently not every mame sight is the latest (Athough they say they are) and it can get confusing which s the official since there .net, .com, mameworld, mame, ect,. ect. Which the latest program, Game ex recognizes 671 of these games. (the discrepency lies with mame32 recognizing 825, and ther being about 1350 roms in the folder. roms will be checked tomorow as per Tempest's suggestion. As far as the escape key goes, mame32 needed a remapping of the joystick and buttons using the 'TAB' key. Since an IPAC was used, both the rom on the card was flashed and mame32 ('TAB' again) to make the appropriate escape key. (thanks chriss). I still have other questions for other threads, but I couldn't have gotten this far without your help. Thanks!

thanks bkenobi. But how do I check the version of my romset? If I run the mame outside of Gameex, then all roms are recognized. I understand this project is a delicate balance of folders, versions numbers, and settings, but I'm just a bit lost right now.

Hello all. I am new and need some help in configuring my Game ex. Firstly, I am having trouble getting the Front End to recognize more than 24 arcade games. Currently, I can run the update list all I want, but never get more than 24 games. Secondly, I would love to have the 'v' key (ipac) recognized as the escape from games. Any ideas? I am still enjoying this software so far, but would like to see it's full potential realized. I am all for searching myself, but in the meantime while I am searching over this forum for my answers, perhaps one of you has already found me and can help. Thanks!
