Adultery

OK, so I got Tetris Grand Master up and running. Here's what I had to do that's out of the ordinary: I used the Windows Games shortcut (*.lnk) method to run these and give them a name that looks prettier. I had to set the Advanced Config to watch the process (game.exe) so it didn't lose focus and fall back to GameEx (since it launches game.bat which in turn launches the game). Since I know these games are made for XP, I also set up "Compatibility Mode" to use XP SP3 on the game.exe. For some reason, the game didn't want to load unless I hit [ESC] first. So I added a SendKeys command to hit [ESC] for me after 2000 MS. Finally I had to change "Show Desktop" to "True". After remapping my keys through the loader, and setting up an xpadder profile (in this case I even set it up to use a 4-way joystick since that's what the original game uses), all works well now. I haven't attempted vertical games yet, I wanna nail the horizontal ones first before I move on.

Mine seems to be saving unless something changed recently...

Don't worry Han, I hate my job so much in fact that I actually look forward to 'breaking' GameEx! LOL

Well there isn't much I do well, so I gotta stick with what I know, freq will back me up on that! LOL

Sorry guys! I have tunnel vision! LOL I promised I wouldn't hamper development anymore with my tedious requests!

These guys are the people that constructed my cab. I can say they do fine work!

Are you using it outside of GameEx?

I was thinking this would work as a walk-around, my joystick never loses control even when my mouse does.

Hmm... Lemmie see here... Could you try configuring your joypad buttons under Input Settings?

How do you have your joystick set up to work the menu? Are you using GameEx's custominput.ini? I use a keyboard controller to work all of GameEx's features to get around this, as in it happens on my machine too but when I click the mouse it drops to the daskbar and my desktop pops up. Do you have a way of converting joystick inputs to keystrokes? PS: That's another hint at Xpadder if you didn't catch it! *LOL*

So the mouse works after it comes to the foreground, or nah? Does it move the list selector if you mouse over it?

Wonder if it's the 'mouse behind GameEx' issue... If you shake the mouse around and click it does it return to the desktop? .:EDIT:.

Also try turning off 16-Bit Color if you haven't already.

Thanks Circo!

Thanks for understanding. The man works hard to please!

Should be able to use the 'magic eraser' and wipe it out. If not the 'background eraser' tool does a great job removing drop shadows.

There's another thread about this already. We're aware of the problem and I'm sure it'll be addressed soon (Tom needs sleep too!! LOL)

There are several. The problem is that MAME only applies them for vertical games. This will likely require a custom MAME compile.

Thanks freq! On the ball as usual!

@Drac: does it make an entry in your Windows Error Report console at all?

[ spoiler ] ... [ /spoiler ]

Seems to be specific to W-64 bit versions eh? .:edit:. Guess not, just read djonek's post again.

I just wanted to have a look at your gameex log and see why it needs the permissions.

Hmm. That's a new one on me. Can you guys post your logs, or you can't make it to loading?

Wow, that sounds like a bummer! What OS you using? Windows 7?
