Just setting up GameEx, and not wanting to see the Windows 7 loading screens in my arcade cab, I decided to use InstantSheller. 07 Seem to have worked, but when botting up, it did not use GameEx as the shell. I've gone back into InstantSheller to be faced with "Undo Changes". When clicking this I get a Unhandled exception has occure. (I'm running as an admin, have tried compatibility mode and set it to also run as an admin, and UAC is off) . More details about the error: Index was outside the bounds of the array See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at c.h(Object A_0, EventArgs A_1) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) ************** Loaded Assemblies ************** mscorlib Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4959 (win7RTMGDR.050727-4900) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework64/v2.0.50727/mscorlib.dll ---------------------------------------- InstantSheller Assembly Version: 1.0.3752.25722 Win32 Version: 1.0.3752.25722 CodeBase: file:///C:/Emulators/Utils/instantsheller/InstantSheller.exe ---------------------------------------- System.Windows.Forms Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4927 (NetFXspW7.050727-4900) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Windows.Forms/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Windows.Forms.dll ---------------------------------------- System Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4927 (NetFXspW7.050727-4900) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.dll ---------------------------------------- System.Drawing Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.4927 (NetFXspW7.050727-4900) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Drawing/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Drawing.dll ---------------------------------------- Microsoft.VisualBasic Assembly Version: 8.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 8.0.50727.4927 (NetFXspW7.050727-4900) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/Microsoft.VisualBasic/8.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll ---------------------------------------- ************** JIT Debugging ************** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

Hi All, Been quite some time since using GameEx (probably over a year) I'm getting back to building a new machine for the Atomiswave cab but for the life of me, I cannot find where the bought license version details are. I've got some options but not sure where to start. a) I've got plenty of emails but is there something unique I can search on where the license information would have been sent to me? Was it a reg file or code? (can't remember) that I can search my computer for? c) I have the old drive, which has GameEx installed, and unlocked. This is no longer bootable, is there somewhere in here I can look? It's set up as a secondary drive to copy the data. d) another means. Cheers

Aha. I tried this setting and it worked, although now I was presented with the nullDC menu for about a second. I compared the GameEx setting for nullDC for Naomi and it had hide desktop. So I put hide desktop for DC nullDC back in, and this time it also worked!... Looks like the old trick to take the setting off then back on.. Everything is now back to how it was!.. Cheers to everyone that offered help!

I wouldn't think so, I'm using IE8 and no problems at all for me, and not even using the compatibility mode button that comes up for this site

Thanks, I'm quite familar with the config file, I guess when I did the dump of my config it was after some initial testing. Either way, I've let done a new install, and let it create a new config file. Editied to how it should be (and also how it was and working 100% before updating) Now it's launching, but I'm faced with a complete black screen, but audio of the DC launching can be heard. Not sure but I'll check my Naomi NullDC settings as it working!..

Ok, thanks for the info, tried switching from launching from a forward slash to back slash, same issue, black screen. Changed the emu to windowed mode, but still presented with a black screen when launching. Managed to kill the gameEx process, as the NullDC process was still running. What I was presented with was NullDC it had a pop up menu with the selected game in its list, and was waiting for the click of the "OK" button to launch it. Not sure what in GameEx I can add to say click the ok button\?

Ok thanks, look forward to if you can sort it// I use to have my DreamCast in my Arcade Cab, connected by Jamma, but with emulation and gameEX combined it into my PC driven emulation, real bummer that it's not working at the moment..

Hi All got a strange one here. My GameEX is set in a candy cab so rarely gets updates. I've got or rather had NullDC for DreamCast working without any problems. Thought it was about time to do an update, that went smoothly. Now when trying to play via GameEx it goes to a blank screen and nothing, I can quit out back to GameEx. If I shell out of GameEx, I can run nullDC, it prompts for a game, select this and it goes full screen no issues. I've tried fresh a config file, new install of nullDC and creating a test set up in GameEX pointing to the emu gives the same problem Here's my nullDC config ; nullDC config file;; [nullDC] Dynarec.Enabled=1 Dynarec.DoConstantPropagation=1 Dynarec.UnderclockFpu=0 Dreamcast.Cable=3 Dreamcast.RTC=1877385230 Emulator.AutoStart=1 Emulator.NoConsole=1 [nullDC_plugins] GUI=nullDC_GUI_Win32.dll Current_PVR=nullPVR_Win32.dll Current_GDR=nullGDR_Win32.dll Current_AICA=nullAICA_Win32.dll Current_ExtDevice=nullExtDev_Win32.dll Current_maple0_5=drkMapleDevices_Win32.dll:0 Current_maple1_5=drkMapleDevices_Win32.dll:0 Current_maple2_5=NULL Current_maple3_5=NULL Current_maple0_0=drkMapleDevices_Win32.dll:2 Current_maple0_1=NULL Current_maple0_2=NULL Current_maple0_3=NULL Current_maple0_4=NULL Current_maple1_0=drkMapleDevices_Win32.dll:2 Current_maple1_1=NULL Current_maple1_2=NULL Current_maple1_3=NULL Current_maple1_4=NULL [drkpvr] Emulation.AlphaSortMode=1 Emulation.PaletteMode=1 Emulation.ModVolMode=1 Emulation.ZBufferMode=3 OSD.ShowFPS=0 OSD.ShowStats=0 Fullscreen.Enabled=0 Fullscreen.Res_X=640 Fullscreen.Res_Y=480 Fullscreen.Refresh_Rate=60 Enhancements.MultiSampleCount=0 Enhancements.MultiSampleQuality=0 Enhancements.AspectRatioMode=1 [ImageReader] PatchRegion=0 LoadDefaultImage=0 DefaultImage=defualt.gdi LastImage=E:\Emulators\nullDC_103\data\IKARUGA.cdi [nullAica] BufferSize=2048 LimitFPS=1 HW_mixing=0 SoundRenderer=1 GlobalFocus=1 BufferCount=1 CDDAMute=0 GlobalMute=0 DSPEnabled=0 [nullExtDev] mode=0 adapter=0 [ndc_hookjoy] PortA_CONT_C=66 PortA_CONT_B=88 PortA_CONT_A=90 PortA_CONT_START=49 PortA_CONT_DPAD_UP=38 PortA_CONT_DPAD_DOWN=40 PortA_CONT_DPAD_LEFT=37 PortA_CONT_DPAD_RIGHT=39 PortA_CONT_Z=77 PortA_CONT_Y=65 PortA_CONT_X=1 PortA_CONT_DPAD2_UP=0 PortA_CONT_DPAD2_DOWN=0 PortA_CONT_DPAD2_LEFT=0 PortA_CONT_DPAD2_RIGHT=71 PortA_CONT_ANALOG_UP=38 PortA_CONT_ANALOG_DOWN=75 PortA_CONT_ANALOG_LEFT=37 PortA_CONT_ANALOG_RIGHT=39 PortA_CONT_LSLIDER=65 PortA_CONT_RSLIDER=83 PortB_CONT_C=66 PortB_CONT_B=87 PortB_CONT_A=81 PortB_CONT_START=50 PortB_CONT_DPAD_UP=84 PortB_CONT_DPAD_DOWN=70 PortB_CONT_DPAD_LEFT=71 PortB_CONT_DPAD_RIGHT=72 PortB_CONT_Z=77 PortB_CONT_Y=87 PortB_CONT_X=82 PortB_CONT_DPAD2_UP=0 PortB_CONT_DPAD2_DOWN=0 PortB_CONT_DPAD2_LEFT=0 PortB_CONT_DPAD2_RIGHT=0 PortB_CONT_ANALOG_UP=73 PortB_CONT_ANALOG_DOWN=75 PortB_CONT_ANALOG_LEFT=74 PortB_CONT_ANALOG_RIGHT=76 PortB_CONT_LSLIDER=69 PortB_CONT_RSLIDER=83 PortC_CONT_C=66 PortC_CONT_B=88 PortC_CONT_A=86 PortC_CONT_START=16 PortC_CONT_DPAD_UP=38 PortC_CONT_DPAD_DOWN=40 PortC_CONT_DPAD_LEFT=37 PortC_CONT_DPAD_RIGHT=39 PortC_CONT_Z=77 PortC_CONT_Y=90 PortC_CONT_X=67 PortC_CONT_DPAD2_UP=0 PortC_CONT_DPAD2_DOWN=0 PortC_CONT_DPAD2_LEFT=0 PortC_CONT_DPAD2_RIGHT=0 PortC_CONT_ANALOG_UP=73 PortC_CONT_ANALOG_DOWN=75 PortC_CONT_ANALOG_LEFT=74 PortC_CONT_ANALOG_RIGHT=76 PortC_CONT_LSLIDER=65 PortC_CONT_RSLIDER=83 PortD_CONT_C=66 PortD_CONT_B=88 PortD_CONT_A=86 PortD_CONT_START=16 PortD_CONT_DPAD_UP=38 PortD_CONT_DPAD_DOWN=40 PortD_CONT_DPAD_LEFT=37 PortD_CONT_DPAD_RIGHT=39 PortD_CONT_Z=77 PortD_CONT_Y=90 PortD_CONT_X=67 PortD_CONT_DPAD2_UP=0 PortD_CONT_DPAD2_DOWN=0 PortD_CONT_DPAD2_LEFT=0 PortD_CONT_DPAD2_RIGHT=0 PortD_CONT_ANALOG_UP=73 PortD_CONT_ANALOG_DOWN=75 PortD_CONT_ANALOG_LEFT=74 PortD_CONT_ANALOG_RIGHT=76 PortD_CONT_LSLIDER=65 PortD_CONT_RSLIDER=83 local_port=0 server_addr=192.168.1.33 server_port=11122 The command I'm using in GameEx nullDC_1.0.3_mmu.exe" -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="[rompath]/[romfile]" I'm at a loss as doubt it would be nullDC config file as it works when not evoked from GameEx, and the command to run it hadn;t been changed I've also re-installed DirextX 9.

It's only really used for a boot CD. We use it as part of MS WIndows Zero Touch setup, which in basic terms boots into WinPE then load the SOE image onto said computer via PXE boot... There are hacks / mods based on this, check out the 911 cd forums, I've made a customized boot cd for this. Running GameEX from it, could be possible but would totally suck, think of WinPE like a Linux LiveCD at best, performance lacking..

Don't know if it's the same as what I have. I got a Vertical orientated screen dedicated for Vertical games. In GameEX I've set in options monitor rotate -90 , I've haven't touched any settings in mame. I'm using mameui32, but works for my other emulators too..

both, naomi nothing to change dreamcast is done within the game

I don't believe I've made any changes in respect to aspect ratio on NullDC, I have my cabinet monitor to Vertical aspect and the Ikaruga display Vertically perfectly...

While setting up GameEX I thought when trying out mame, there was show Cocktail games option.. But can;t seem to find it again... Am I imagining this or is there an option to show this?

Ahhh , Must of had a brain fart to miss that. Have done it, minor problem, it seems to work can here the DreamCast Default loading sound, then the sound of Ikuruga start, but no display is working!.. Will Play with it some more. Update Sorted: For some reason fullscreen had reset t 0, changed back to 1 and all good.. Thank you very much for your help.... THis is truly a great forum... I'm glad a spent the money on this front end, simply rocks!...
