ok, i just gave it a try,, and it just came up blank on the sides... i did notice tho that its not working thru mame either, so it looks like i'll have to get it working there first..... do think they should all be unzipped? i thought i read to keep them zipped but im gonna try it. -add-- unzippping them didnt change nothin..

i have a registered version and i have several zipped bezel files in the artwork folder of mame32. i been reading on this and this is where its suggested the files go.. in gameex i have selected use bezels in basic setup, but all i see is the gameex bezel..how do i get the bezel artwork to work or show up??

ok, now that ive got all my mng files created, its not playing them in gamex.... i have selected use image/item in background in gameex, and have them located in their own folder ...one thing i did notice is that all the mng files were put in their own folder too,(example, C:/mame32/snap,<--this is where there going, and instead of just seeing the mng files listed in that folder, each game is in its own folder with the mng file in that. but even if i take them out it still doesnt do any different.. anybody have any suggestions???

ok, i FINALLY figured out my sound problem,,, if any body else is haveing desynced or scratchy echoing sound..try this.. anyways after looking into to the problem way too deep, in the end i had the "triple buffering" option selected in the mame32 default game options (sheesh!, so simple...) after i deselected that it didnt matter what i changed to anything the sound stayed flawless!!! also i found this troubleshooting sound thread that helped me figure it out and could help other sound issues ...hope this helps anyone.. and im stoked i have a perfect running machine again!!!

hey thanks, its working perfectly now,,,,it only worked when i used the browse button tho..when i typed it in manualy it was no dice..but thanks for the help

i read the docs, and did a quick search and couldnt find an answer,,... but when i hit the create mame videos button it errors saying "Unable to createVideos, check MAME paths, and AVI snap paths" ... where do i do that? or how do i fix this.. -my mame is all on the c: drive and all settings correlate with that.. is there somewhere else it is trying to find it from.. thanks

i think i figured out why the sound is lagging and skipping,, my cpu is running at 100% when gameex is in use.............i cant seem to find the thread that explains how to eliminate this...i remember reading about it somewhere, can someone point me in the right place.. thanks

of course!, it all makes a lot of sense now, i use the frontend for the most basic of functions..sheesh, i need to finish up some of my other projects and really dig in/learn and take advantage of all the features this frontend offers. -thanks for the help

thanks for clearing that up. that is how i have it now.. i guess i misunderstood it and the difference between run on launch and launch on startup. what are some examples of utilities one would run in the background, i cant think of any??? i wonder if running a specific game on startup would be a feature request worth requesting or if im the only one who would want such a thing......

i having a bit of trouble understanding the run on launch. if im reading it right i should be able to have gameex start right in a specific game of my coice right? specifically golden tee 2k is the rom im trying to have start but how do i go about that...when i choose browse i find my list of roms but their all zipped of course and by putting it in the selection bar gameex wont launch......im sure its easy but im lost..hopefully someone can walk me thru this process?

ok, thanks....unfortunatly i looked and it is already set to full....and i have 1gig of ram so i dont think that is an issue either....can customizing the skins slow it down maybe? thats the only thing ive done different, but im not sure when it started doing this, ive reverted back to the default skin but its still struggling on sound.. im using the onboard sound and the MOBO is only a few months old, my other mame is onboard sound too with no problems and its MOBO is almost 2 years old so im thinking theres a setting or software conflict somewheres. -any suggestions..

does any one know or had this problem before. the sound in ANY game thru gameex gets scratchy and skippy i guess is the only way to describe it. but when i try the same games thru the mame program everything is flawless!.. any ideas..anyone? thanks

ok, so im finally able to create videos but any rom newer than 1985 seems to not play smoothly as soon as it says record(extremely choppy)... is there a setting i can change temporarly to have them record normally? im using the most recent gameex version but have reverted back to mame106 because the newest versions wont play any of my vector games and seems to drop or lose a lot of my favorite games. is the mame version too old for create videos or is that even an issue maybe? any suggestion??

Is this something that will be a possible fix in an update or should i just go back to an older version of mame....why would the mame version make any difference? just curious -hey jthompson, you mentioned your making the videos in your pc, but is your cab using the newest version mame or old version, i tried working mng's from another cpu and still doesnt work for me.. how did that go for you?
