I tried the latest version of Gameex yesterday and it didn't change anything. I updated PixelCade and the problem started, so I then updated LEDBlinky. That did not fix anything. PixelCade works fine other than the Emulator titles. Games work fine, Intro message displays fine and the exit message is fine. I can scroll through any game list (mame or emulator) and it works great. Just not the actual emulator title (NES, SNES Playstation etc.) If I pick an emulator from the list. Let's say PlayStation, I will open the game list, and it displays the name of the game fine. If it gets to a game that does not have a file for PixelCade it will then show the emulator graphic. And if I back out of PlayStation without picking a game the PlayStation graphic will stay on the screen until I pick a new emulator and scroll through its game list. PixelCade is just not getting a command to change to the emulator graphics. But all else works.

I thought about that but cannot find an older version to download and install. The DEV on Discord said he did not have the older versions anymore. He said he would look into running Pixelcade on the newest version of Gameex when he had time. Have not heard back from him yet.

I am having an issue that seemed to start when updating Pixel Cade. When running Gameex AE I no longer get the graphic of the emulator when scrolling through the list of emulators. It works fine once I select the emulator and shows game titles just fine. But it just shows a generic "MAME" graphic when scrolling through emulators. It was working fine before the last Pixel Cade update. I have sent my logs to Pixel cade and also LEDblinky. They think it is a problem with Gameex not sending the command to show the emulator and suggested to reach out to you. log.txt GameEx.ini Pixelcxade System and Debug Info.txt

Just wanted to update my progress with ColecoVision and GameEx Arcade. I got it work by downloading a new set of Roms and unzipping them into a separate folder. Also, a different Bios file. Pointed GameEx to them and it runs fine now. Not sure what fixed it to be honest. I really don't think it was a bad set of roms since it worked fine outside of GameEx. Maybe unzipping them? I tried GearColeco and did get it to work also. But I could not get the ColecoVision controllers mapped correctly. They work great using MAME and my adapter. Thanks again for all the time and ideas. Hope this will help someone else down the road.

Mame may not be the best software list console emulator, but it plays the games I wanted to play pretty well. My vision was to have a seamless experience using GameEx to play the games I wanted to play. And yes, the NES games will run using stand alone MAME without GameEx. Maybe not perfectly, but they do at least run. And I have seen videos of people using NES and Colecovision through GameEx. So I know it is possible. So my guess is that it is something in my setup that is causing problem. I did find a post on here about setting up Retroarch to run through GameEx and will try that route. Thanks again everybody for the help. I will keep you posted if I ever come up with a solution.

OK, I will look into that. It just seems so odd that it works fine outside of GameEX. Was just trying to keep things simple by using Mame for all of the emulators. I went through this with Colecovision and never did get it to work with GameEx. I tried several different emulators. All worked outside of GameEx and none running through GameEx. Was going to ask for help on that next. Oh well.

runitgame says Fatal Error: Device NES Cartridge slot load failed: File is not an iNES or UNIF cartridge image Command line is E:\GroovyMame>mame.exe nes -cart "E:\GroovyMame\roms\nes\arkanoid.zip" So apparently it does not like the Rom, just not sure why.

I just tried vanilla mame through gameex it does not work, but works fine stand alone.

Latest and correct log file. (I hope) log.txt

I thought I had uploaded the correct log file, but I will do it again tonight. Now on the missing bios roms, I can run NES games just fine running GroovyMame directly using its GUI. But not through GameEx AE. I have compared the ROM locations in Mame to GameEx AE and they appear to be exactly the same. I am using a merged ROM set if that makes any diffrence.

It let me upload my backup Gameex.ini. Will this work? No idea why. GameEx.UpgradeBackup.ini

My log file uploads fine. But the Cameex.ini will not upload.

log.txt

Unfortunately, I am still unable to upload my gameex.ini and lod.txt files. I keep getting an unknow server error. I have cleared my browsers cache and everything else I can find. Rebooted and still no luck uploading the files.

I tried and kept getting a Server error message. I will try again tonight. Not sure if it was something on my end or your end.
