Hi guys im trying to open virtual music jukebox from the external program feature it opens from the shortcut but not gameex i looked at the shortcut and it says Target "C:\Program Files\Mameroom Designs LLC\Virtual Music Jukebox\Virtual Music Jukebox.exe" Start in C:\PROGRA~1\MAMERO~1\VIRTUA~1 In gameex i have Path: C:\Program Files\Mameroom Designs LLC\Virtual Music Jukebox\ CMD: Virtual Music Jukebox.exe anybody help?

i have no problem playing them, its purely the background image karaoke on my machine is played quite alot, and the background colour is very boring - changing an image would be great randomly

Hi Tom Just seeing if there was any update on the karaoke backgrounds not working? If this is a bug with the plugin, can this feature be added to gameex to compensate Im after access to an image folder with random images being pulled from it for the background

i installed pure video decoder and tried that, exactly the same crash?

Im using the Cyberlink decoder, which is recommended in the help Im using VMR9, but not FFDSHOW (if i seletect this option, it does not find the disk)

Hi Tom When playing a dvd, it crashes gameex - im using the cyberlink decoder there is nothing in the log, although i have attached anyway any ideas? 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: GameEx: Version 8.07: Starting Log 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Operating System Name: Windows XP 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: .net Framework 1.1 Installed 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.40GHz 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: 3.42Ghz - 2 Cores or CPU's 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Running Randomize() 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Loading PlugIns 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Running Misc startup tasks 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Setting Menu types 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Opening Configuration File 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Getting Configuration Values 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Using Theme: Default - Media Center 09:39:54.9 24/04/2007: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Media Center 09:39:55.0 24/04/2007: Launching HideOS.exe 09:39:55.0 24/04/2007: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 09:39:55.0 24/04/2007: Hiding Taskbar 09:39:55.0 24/04/2007: Is Media Center running? 09:39:55.0 24/04/2007: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 09:39:55.0 24/04/2007: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 09:39:55.0 24/04/2007: Media Center Mode 2 09:39:55.1 24/04/2007: Snap Delay set to: 2 09:39:55.1 24/04/2007: Get other settings 09:39:55.2 24/04/2007: Mouse Input is disabled 09:39:55.2 24/04/2007: Desktop set to Hide ICONS and set Background to Black 09:39:55.2 24/04/2007: Backing up Registry Wallpaper Settings 09:39:55.2 24/04/2007: Set: Find emulator artwork on best match basis 09:39:55.6 24/04/2007: Start work for Form 09:39:55.8 24/04/2007: Getting Original Screen Size 09:39:55.8 24/04/2007: Initializing Component 09:39:56.3 24/04/2007: Creating Radio Station Genres 09:39:56.7 24/04/2007: Succesfully created station genres 09:39:56.7 24/04/2007: Loading Controls.ini map file 09:39:56.8 24/04/2007: Loading Custom Emulators 09:39:57.0 24/04/2007: Using 2D Animations 09:39:57.0 24/04/2007: Using General Font: Trebuchet MS 09:39:57.0 24/04/2007: Using Title Font: Trebuchet MS 09:39:57.0 24/04/2007: Initialising DirectDraw 09:39:57.1 24/04/2007: Creating DirectDraw Device 09:39:57.1 24/04/2007: Using Device: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 (Microsoft Corporation) 09:39:57.2 24/04/2007: 124mb video memory available 09:39:57.4 24/04/2007: Setting Resolution to 1024x768 16 bit color 09:39:57.4 24/04/2007: Creating DirectDraw Surfaces 09:39:57.4 24/04/2007: Creating Primary Surface - Full Screen Mode 09:39:57.7 24/04/2007: Creating Back Buffer 09:39:57.8 24/04/2007: Loading graphic Surfaces 09:39:57.8 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces Misc and Dialogs 09:39:58.0 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces Volume 09:39:58.0 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces Arrows 09:39:58.1 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces GameEXlogo Text 09:39:58.1 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces Toolbar 09:39:58.2 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces Backgrounds 09:40:01.4 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces Toolbar Controls 09:40:01.5 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces GameEx Logo 09:40:01.5 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces Home & Exit 09:40:01.6 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces Snaps 09:40:01.6 24/04/2007: Creating Surfaces Menu and List Bars 09:40:01.8 24/04/2007: Creating Fonts 09:40:01.8 24/04/2007: Creating Menu Font 09:40:01.9 24/04/2007: Restoring Menu Font From Cache 09:40:02.9 24/04/2007: Creating Game Font 09:40:03.0 24/04/2007: Creating Font Black 09:40:03.1 24/04/2007: Creating Font Black Small 09:40:03.2 24/04/2007: Creating Game Font Faded 09:40:03.2 24/04/2007: Creating Title Font 09:40:03.2 24/04/2007: Restoring Title Font From Cache 09:40:04.9 24/04/2007: Fonts Created Succesfully 09:40:04.9 24/04/2007: 68mb video memory left available 09:40:04.9 24/04/2007: Starting GameExtender Publisher 09:40:05.0 24/04/2007: Text/Language: English 09:40:05.0 24/04/2007: Applying Language/Text 09:40:05.0 24/04/2007: Initialising Bass Audio Library 09:40:05.2 24/04/2007: MAME CMD options: -triplebuffer -nowindow -joy 09:40:05.2 24/04/2007: Attempting to load game list 09:40:05.3 24/04/2007: Loading last used Game List 09:40:05.3 24/04/2007: Loading Start Page 09:40:05.4 24/04/2007: Setting Music Volume 09:40:05.4 24/04/2007: Cannot Load Play List.

Thanks Tom for the first bug fix! great turnaround

sorry

bump

scurvy, email me at novalak@tsn.cc and ill give you the torrent file

really? hmmm ill give it a go tongiht after work - thanks

Bug #1 I turn off jukebox (as i have an external program that runs my jukebox), so it is not shown under multimedia when i enter gameex karaoke and then close out, jukebox appears under multimedia Bug #2 In karaoke settings, i use the option for random background from directory Although this never works, i am unable to use backgrounds in the karaoke feature It would be great if any feature was allowed to be placed on the start page eg. Mame, Karaoke, Videos, Jukebox (my external program) this way people dont start looking for other things, i can just opt what is directly on the start page Cheers Neil

what if they are different versions?

Hi Guys Is there anyway of using the settings on mine and transfering them to my other computer? i mean like an ini file that has everything i have configured Thanks! Neil http://www.mamedownunder.com.au PS its only 1 questions now

no, the machine which crashes alot have no snaps or anything like that the 2nd has snaps but no videos

ill grap the gameex log when i get home and post it, one machine it doesnt happen that often on the other about 2 times a day (it gets used alot) so they dont have to be running for days its purely the games list, i have gameex pretty locked down

im sorry, it deserves the money and if you look at my post i didnt specifically blame gameex, although this machine is clean...windows (with updates, mame32 and gameex thats is and it seems to happen when scrolling through games yes, it could be a driver issue, although its happening on both machines with totally different hardware what information can i provide you to see its its gameex or something else... will the event log be enough? Neil http://www.mamedownunder.com.au/

next time gameex crashes, ill take a screenshot, i mean it happens very rarely that i hadnt bothered with the gameex.bat, how will it poll, to restart? Neil http://www.mamedownunder.com.au/

Hi All is there anyway i can hack windows to poll and check to see if gameex is running?, if not, restart it I mean on the very odd occation gameex crashes, especially when im not there and the people that use it has no idea how to fix it (or even start gameex) so if it does fail for some reason or another, i would like it to restart within lets say 30 seconds Thanks Neil http://www.mamedownunder.com.au/

hang on, thats it? i mean i have to backtrack the latest version of .NET because gameex has a problem with it im a paying customer, and the best help i can get is uninstall the standard patch from microsoft? (when i say standard, i mean one that gets downloaded in windows update)

have you updated the games in gameex (make sure you didnt disable the update games option then wehn go into mame, there should be an update games option Neil http://www.mamedownunder.com.au/

Alright i dont know where to start with this I have done 2 computers running gameex now and on occations the computer completly crashes It seems to happen only when gameex is running and it usually happens when going down the list of games I dont believe it happened before but my bright idea was with .NET 2.0 as its new Both are running a clean install of XP SP2 completly patched up and only gameex is running as i said most of the time it happens just scrolling down the list of games, crashes and when i reboot it says windows had a serious error Im not pointing fingers or anything but has anyone had something similar, i can get a screen shot of the event viewer if you like Thanks Neil http://www.mamedownunder.com.au
