Thanks for that, I ran a custom install with Windows updater and it updated two of the .Net frameworks. I'm curious as to what happened to the .net frameworks in the first place. Things are working fine now. Cheers.

Bump. I'd really appreciate some help with this, as I can't use the program at all. Cheers.

I'm having a bad run here. I had Gameex working fine again for a while, but now there is a new problem causing the program to crash on start up. Here's a log.

I reinstalled with an update, but had the same problem again. How do I go about altering the video codec used by GameEx? I've updated my codec pack recently and that may be the issue. Thanks.

Suddenly, out of the blue, I started experiencing crashes everytime I try and start GameEx. Here is the error log: Any suggestions? Cheers.

Yeah I spend more time in set up and debugging mode than playing. Although I do have my gaming sessions. My explanation for the time spent is it's for the kids and they love it!

Wow! The updates come pretty thick and fast around here. I never even got time to download the last one. Cheers!

Is it possible to write a command line for the advanced mame "run on launch" setting to launch and close this exe with mame games?

The title of the tables will usually say VP8 or VP9 when you download them. If you haven't changed the names you should be able to work it out easily.

One thing you could do would be to set up both Playstation emulators and have the roms you want associated with the different versions in different folders. Set up the pathways for the roms to the relevant folder. You then use the function where you create emulator groups to put the Playstation games back into one list. This is what I do with my Visual Pinball games as version 8 & 9 games are not interchangeable. It's not quite what you want but it would solve your problem in a relatively neat fashion.

No, I think the program is called visual pinball assistant. I came across it in these forums somewhere and the file is VPA.exe, though I searched just then for the thread and couldn't find it. I don't use vpauto because it wouldn't launch vpinmame properly for some pinball tables. Any table that had a video game or graphics in the score window, such as Doctor Who or Creature from the Black Lagoon would load without a visible score. For whatever reason VPA seemed to fix the problem. The icon doesn't bother me, as it isn't using any system resources and closing it is a matter of moving the mouse in the general direction of the tray. I just mention it as a point of interest. Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks fRequEnCy, that did the trick. Intrerestingly the VPA icons still display in my system tray but when I move the mouse to close them they all instantly disappear.

Instructions can be given when you exit a game so there must be a command line that can be written. I experimented, but as I don't know what I'm doing I failed miserably.

I'm running Visual Pinball using VPA.exe in my Gameex emulator command line to help launch the game. That all works fine but the VPA doesn't close when I exit the pinball game. I'm ending up with multiple instances of the program running and putting little icons in my system tray. After a while this eats into my available memory. Is there a command line I could use to exit VPA with my pinball game? Cheers.

Thanks!

I found it eventually, thanks.

I was using the latest standard MAME, and that was when I was having trouble. It was a significant amount of games that wouldn't open in Gamex too, although I could open them in MAME on it's own. At the moment all is working as I would like. Cheers.

Typical, I've spent half the day on this and as soon as I post, I solve the problem. I installed Advance Mame, which alone didn't work, but when I enabled Zinc, all was good.

I've read around this site as much as possible to get asolution to this problem. When I launch certain MAME games they appear to load for a second before the screen returns to Gameex. I've read of instances where similar things have happened for others but their solutions didn't work for me. I'm really quite impressed by the Gameex software, but this is a pain as it happens to some of my favourite games. Any suggestions?

Nice. But I'm not sure where I put them. Cheers.
