Hi sorry for late answer , did not get a email notification this time. thx that whas it , i now have all the game up and running , happy days ,thx for all replys

I have got it to work on my windows 7 machine, and partly on the xp machine but on that i can only get it to work by downloading the mame emulator from gameex , but when using that i on have 2280 games while i have over 3000 on the windows 7 machine where i use my own mame of choise mameuifix.32 GameEx_working.txt

Hi have atttachet the gameex.ini file from the non working machine. I can not get the hdd from the machine that worked to boot so i am really stock now . GameEx.txt

Hi i can not find it. I think it is very strange that it turn black screen and when closes gameex , game is running in windows.

Hmpff now i am back to black screen again , have not touched anything, when using taskmanager to end gameex ,then when returning to windows screen the game is running? I can not find the gameex ini file. I have nothing in the ini folder

Right now i have come so far that the game is running from gameex but with the windows look to it , that will say with a blue bar on top of game displaying mame and game name but with black back ground. I will post gameex.ini file in a couple of days when i get the other computer assembled again. I have it taken apart for build in ,in the cabinet.

Yes

Hi. I have tryed to copy it all to gameex folder but that did not do the trick , so now i have changed path to the same way as i have on the on pc that works.

Hi i have one computer running gameex without any problems, now i whant to install it on another computer, i do it precisely the same way ´but gameex will not work. The way i have set it op on the computer that works is , i have installed gameex in a folder on c: and have a mameufix folder with all the roms ,snaps and so on. when i do that on the new computer , gameex wont leave nag screen, then i put the mameufix.exe in the gameex folder along with the rom folder , and now i can get in gameex and do a update of gamelist , and all the games are found but when trying to play one , gameex says launcing game and then turns into black screen, Any help will be appreciated as this is driving me crazy. The reason that i whant i to run on to computers is because i have two arcade machines. I have bought licens to the one that are up and running, but that allso worked before i bought a licens. Regards Michael

Hi i have installed gameex and connected to an jamma arcade machine with arcadevga from ultimarc, when i start the pc up windows appears on the arcade monitor with no problem i then start gameex and the screen start to roll, i adjust with v-hold on the cabinet, then start a game eks. 1942 now the screen starts to roll again and i must once again adjust with v-hold but the game screen is very small, if i just open mame without gameex the game looks great. I have turned use bezel off and have tryed to set the use of arcadevga to on and off in gameex. Michael
