Ok, I realize that this is going to seem like a stupid question...please bear with me. For some unknown reason, I cannot for the life of me get Joust to run with Gameex. It'll run in MAME32 just fine, but Gameex just blacks the screen for a moment and then kicks back to the menu. I've tried to "allow imperfect roms", and I've forced it through to show in the list, so I really have no idea why it won't play. Has anyone else had this problem, or does someone know a way around it? Thanks!

Heh, I'm in the same boat as you guys. I wasn't sure what else to do with this, but there are tons of possibilities. I thought about trying to do some kind of RSS feed from CNN or something, but that's about as far as I got with it.

I'd like to see a better "game-finding" interface too. I run mine completely off of the joystick and buttons, so it can be a pain to select the "All Games" category and have it always start with 10-Yard Fight. Even if there was just a list of letters along the top of the screen that you could scroll through and select, that would be a tremendous step in the right direction.

I don't know if this is the same for you or not, but I had this same problem a few days ago. The reason was that I was trying to use Gameex on a dual-monitor system. Once I went in and disabled the 2nd monitor, the app worked just fine.

Sounds good...thanks for the quick update! Just as an aside...do upgrades keep the existing settings? Like when this new version comes out in a few days, will I need to redo things or will everything carry over to the new one? Just curious... Thanks again!

I have a list of a few internet radio stations that I listen to all the time. This would be all kinds of sweet to be able to select those from a menu as well. Only problem is that they are .PLS (winamp) links. Don't know if that would complicate things or not, but I would assume so. Hopefully this is something that is an option.

Hi out there -- First off, I just wanted to mention that GameEx is, quite possibly, the coolest/best looking front-end I've ever seen. I've had my MAME cabinet setup for about 3 years now, and all this time I've just been using the standard MAME32 interface for selecting things. I tried out a few options, but none were really where I wanted them to be, and some were kind of confusing. Gameex looks to have been crawling around in my head for quite some time, because this is *exactly* the type of interface that I have been looking for. Slick design, easy interface, customizable as all get out. Much thanks to Tom for all the work I'm sure you have poured into this project. That being said, I do have a question about how the application filters ROMS. I can update the mame list fine and games show up. However, I've got one specific game (New Fantasia) that I just cannot get to show up within Gameex. I can play it out of mame32 just fine, but not inside. I've not really done anything with the default filter setting that ship with the product. I think I set "allow imperfect games" to yes, and set "only working games" to no. I've set adult games to "gimme the goods" or whatever it says, and turned off clones and mahjong. The only other thing I have is the "game filter" with the default keywords in it, but I've checked the ROM itself and it does not contain any of the keywords. I was just wondering if there was an easy way to determine why this game (or others that I may not have noticed right now) are not being displayed. If anyone could offer any advice, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
