Thanks Tom

Iam trying to update to the latest version of today - Aug 17 2014. Doing it from inside gameex pulls up the download screen briefly and then re-opens gameex. I tried a manual install by downloading the setup and running it. It starts up but the first step gives me a file download error: Error opening http://www.gameex.net/download/Steam Wrappers and Configs. The server returned status code 500. Anything I can do to fix this? -Dez

I just edited the original post to make more since, I do realize hittotext and hiscore.diff are two seperate things but do not know which one is the issue. I did set a score in Tron and was able to close and reopen with it still there. So, I still assume the issue is in hitotext.

I recently got back into updating to the newest MAME build. I downloaded all updated files for MAME, hiscore.diff, including the hiscore.dat from the dat-tastic and rebuilt to 143u9. Gameex no longer displays my hiscores for mame games and hitotext crashes when I try to launch a MAME game. I have tried clearing out the .hi files and tried every build I could think of (with and without different optimizations) using the newest mame compiler 64. I have tried posting in the official thread at BYOAC....crickets. Has anyone managed to have this actually working? If so, what was your process? Is this a hitotext issue or a hiscore.diff issue do you think?

I have downloaded and installed the newest gameex as of 3 days ago from scratch, including the themes. I also have enabled the buttons through the wizard. Yet, none of my themes are displaying the buttons. The buttons I mean are the ones typically on the top right under the title. Any ideas?

yes 99.4 fixed cliffhanger and broke the overlay on goal to go. The new 1.x version will not play goal to go.

I was wondering if anyone can give me some ideas on the best way to do multiple daphne installs. I would like to add goal to go on my cab but would like to also be able to run cliffhanger..

I came across 3darcade FE when researching these cool 3d cabinet models. This lead me to a badd azz 3d recreation of his Luna City arcade! its one of the staples when showing off my cabinet. I saw an interview with him as well, I did not realize this was his work. This guy seems to be a true arcade connoisseur: http://lunacityarcade.com/photos.htm

Thanks headkaze! I cant wait to take her for a spin

I had some of the black screen problems that I fixed by setting the emu to show desktop in the advanced config settings.

Thanks bkenobi, using a modified ahk script seems to do the trick. Also, thanks for the info on specifying EMUs on a per rom basis. I hadn't thought that far ahead =). It's no good having the TTS voice come up and say wiimote lightgun intialized when starting the smurfs game! LOL So this leads me to another question. In mameemumap.ini, it says: # The following settings tell GameEx when to use an emulator to launch # instead of MAME. To specifcally specify MAME use 0. To specify Daphne # use 1000 is this relative to the EMU's number in my Gameex emu list? I'm assuming so.. So now I just need to figure out how to pull a list of romnames for only lightgun games and I should be set! Thanks again you guys, and Headkaze, thanks for that launcher app, I have something else in mind to use it for where i know it will work better than using &&s and having a mile long command line

heh I don't think he meant "AN" out of state company! my vpinball was doing this on random tables until I set it to compatibilty mode for windowsNT. someone at vpforums helped me with that.

same result, It just stalls on a black screen unless I manually close glovepie after initializing from gameex, then it will launch the mame rom. if it helps, I noticed in the taskbar, there is a command window for gameex.lnk, up until I close glovepie, then one immediately opens for mame and gameex.lnk closes.

ok, I found a cheap wiimote and decided to try glovepie for a quasi-lightgun. I have it working really well, minus the obvious problems associated with doing this. I want to be able to launch glove pie from a command line before it starts an EMU or app so I can specify which profile to use. This works from a command line: D:\SYS_Apps\GlovePIE\glovepie.exe -D:\SYS_Apps\GlovePIE\WiimoteScripts\MAME_IR_PPJoy_x2.PIE and I use this to close after it closes,and it works from Gameex: TASKKILL /F /IM glovepie.exe /T My problem is, whenever I try to launch mame with the launch before, it comes up to a black screen for a few minutes and then mame closes and goes back to Gameex. If I remove the launch before, and manually start GlovePIE, I am able to play a game and then GlovePIE closes when I close back to gameex. If I use the launch before option, it launches GlovePIE, stalls, closes back to gameex and GlovePIE is still open, so it looks like MAME isn't even launching! I tried to use a bat to launch it instead using: @echo off start /MIN D:\SYS_Apps\GlovePIE\glovepie.exe -D:\SYS_Apps\GlovePIE\WiimoteScripts\MAME_IR_PPJoy_x2.PIE but the result is the same. Is there something I need to do to my MAME command line? I'm stumped, Thank you guys in advance for the help on this one!

well you can open anything that will fall asleep if opened via windows explorer and it will....

works like that for me too, I like it though. if you open something from gameex and wait, it will sleep.

yeah it's much easier than multiple installs or scripting to do it!

I think this thread will help you out, I think it may be the easiest possible solution http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=7497

n/m I reinstalled and it is working now.

I noticed last night, when I go into my mame list and mouse over a manual for any given game, it shows the video and I cannot click on it. If I do it comes right back to the game info list immediately. I tried reinstalling acrobat reader since they are PDFs. They did use to work. Any Ideas?

personally, I was just going to make a single static image of one of the console controllers along side my CP controls. It would have matching overlays on each to show which button was mapped to what. I was just really liking the idea of pressing a mapped button to make the image actually appear as a quick visual referance.

I've gotten this to work perfectly in Mame, however I tried turning on the example for project64, made sure the paths were all correct, and mapped a key. I think I may be missing something, because when I press the mapped key when using the emulator, nothing happens. Is there a faq or guide somewhere that might help me out that focuses on the profiles section of the program?

Gratz tempest!

Well that's not gonna be handled by a single bat file very easily. AHK would be able to do that for you however. AHK can open your xpadder, run the app and then wait for the app to close then close xpadder and then end the script. Gameex sees the ahk script as the actual running app and will not cut back to gameex until the script has completed. here's a sample script that runs a bat file (like the one you just wrote =)),sends an enter key to a launcher window which runs the app, waits for the app to close and then closes the script. You could very easily add a line to close xpadder as well. I just left xpadder running at all times and used scripts, or Gameex's run before/after commands to keep changing the profiles when needed. #NoEnv SendMode Input run thotd.bat winwait The House of The Dead Auto Run send {ENTER} Sleep, 4000 WinWaitClose, The House Of The Dead return ExitApp
