yes i put the right settings in sharks 007. it says files set up to play with windows media player. icons of flv files change to show its assoiciated. but when i click on file to play i get that error

heres my log file. sorry dont know how to make smaller

this doesnt help me in anyway. this is not a gameex issue. its file association problem. i set it up but still not playing files via windows media player

where do i find my log?

ok here it is. i know i had it working before on windows 7. but my problem is that it wont play in windows media player i went into shark settings and clicked on sharks suggested settings. and still doesnt play on windows media player. its just not associated correctly. but here is the content from my gameex-ini

i think its a file association problem cause when i went into shark 007 settings i set it so that .flv plays with windows media player. but when i play a file with windows media player it gives the error (Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file) i know if i can get it to play with windows media player there shouldnt be a problem playing it in game ex. i have windows 7 64bit

im having the same problem. just upgraded to windows 7. installed Shark007's codecs and still not working. im assuming its a windows 7 thing. can anyone help me out

yeah i didnt that but didnt work so i just went with another theme instead where all the text is already white

is there anyone out there that can help?

delete this thread

please close this thread

Having Problem Changing Text Colors in certain areas of my theme. can anyone help? ive included a pic to show the sections that im having problems chaning the text color. areas hilighted in pink. i would like all the text to be while. by the way i created a custom theme from the default- default theme is that helps

yeah i did uninstall and reinstall. but ill post the runitgame.bat right now. im dying to know whats going on

ohh and im running project 64 1.7 i just used this emulator as an example..

this commandline has never given me a problem but this is going on with any emulator i use

heres my config for project 64. everything has been in the same folders since i started using gameex. i dont know why this is happening but its killing me [Emulator_11] Enabled=True STARTPAGENAME=Nintendo 64 TITLETEXT=Nintendo 64 StartPageLogo=Nintendo 64 ROMFilter= RomPath=E:\Emulation\Roms\Nintendo 64 [No-Intro] RomsInFolders= SnapPath=E:\Emulation\Snaps\Nintendo 64 TitlePath= BoxPath= CartPath= ManualPath= ControlPanelPath= InstructionsPath= WorkingPath=E:\Emulation\Emus\Nintendo 64 (Project64) MapKeys=True WaitBeforeKeys= SendKeys= ReplaceDash=False ReplaceUnder=True Capitals=False RemoveBrackets=True ShowDesktop=True Debug=False MAPFile= AlsoLaunch= Command=Project64.exe "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" LaunchBefore= LaunchAfter= configFile=[Mapping Off] Exit (Process Close) ExcludedFiles= CustomBackground= PlayMusic=False DontShowInfo= PlaySelectionMusic=False SelectionMusicFolder= PCGame=False DATABASE=[Console] Nintendo N64 UseDbName= GamesIn7Zips=True MergeSets= PlayInScreenSaver=False ShowMostPlayed=False RandomMostPlayed=False CDCheck=False CDCheckFile= CustomArtName1= CustomArtPath1= CustomArtName2= CustomArtPath2= CustomArtName3= CustomArtPath3= System=Nintendo 64 Category=Console Emulator=Project64 Version=1.6 Rating= DownloadUrl=http://www.gamesdbase.com/setupwizard/emulators/download/Project64.7z RequiredFiles= Website=http://www.pj64-emu.com/ Info=Nintendo 64 emulator OLDatZip= lastgame=

whoa thats weird i see it says (E: project64.exe) as my emulator location but it is in a folder E:\Emulation\Emus\Nintendo 64 (Project64) and it is set up to look in that folder i dont know why its not reading anything past e: but how can i fix this issue. its doing this with all my emulators and its a fresh install. i think there is a bad bug in the new release cause this is when all this started happening. no matter what, it says (E: my emulator.exe) for every emulator i use and refuses to open anything

yo wtf is going on its not working. i uninstalled and reinstalled and the same problem is still happening with all the default settings

ok i thought it was just an issue with mess but now i see all my emulators are not loading up. no matter what i do or what system game i go to i get the black screen and then i get bumped back into gameex

im not missing a bois i did an audit and i have 1161 correct and 0 incorrect. there is no log nothing opened up telling me anything. bit when i click on a game it looks like its gonna load. but then brings me back into gameex

i dont know whats going on but i use the config file that comes with gameex set up the paths but when i click on a game to play it shows a black screen like its loading the game then just backs out to the game info screen i was on before loading the game. can someone help?

yes definitely fixed the problem. thank you

i dont know whats wrong but when i play music on gameex (jukebox) my artwork which was added to the audio does not show up. but when i play them in winamp the artwork shows up just fine. i dont know why their not showing up on the jukebox. the only way i can get artwork to appear is when i enable (download album/dvd/video art) option. in this case it downloads crappy and duplicate album art from the internet. i have jukebox mode set to (file audio tags) if anyone can help me that would be great. i dont wanna have all those images in the gameex/media/albums folder cause i have alot of albums and dont want all those images in a folder when their already apart of my audio files. im guessing gameex cant read the images from the audio files so thats why they dont show up. is the (download album/dvd/video art) option enabled the only way for album art to be seen. if so that sucks

yeah i figured it was a theme. but its basicly every theme that isnt default. but i think its cause my settings are for 800x600 and i was using themes 1027x768
