Adultery

Glad to habe you aboard! You can walk around that bug by updating to the latest version of the snapper plugin btw. You're a version behind atm and I fixed that already. Edit: Wait, maybe you are on 1.0.5 already... I may not have pinned the latest version to the release thread. Nevermind.

Nah, the code is right and it works for me, the PHP didn't need updating after all: It's something on youur end. Can you run Bomb Jack again and post both the GameEx and Snapper logs?

Honestly it's probably .net framework 2.0

I only use Steam, and only recently started using that, but I will probably have to install a game our two with each service just so I can add support to my own projects.

Can you do me one more favor? Run Bomb Jack again and post your GameEx log so I can verify that it's the right rom set.

Thats odd, I bet it's partially due to GameEx striping out the pinball mechs that don't run anyway.

I saw it on there yesterday. The RSS feed bug is indeed due to the update, I shall look into out but I know why it's doing that I think. It will be addressed when I release the update. When I changed the name of the db I didn't update the node callout so it's looking for the old db name still.

That wouldn't matter, it's a static image generated by the server.

Are you talking about the snapper PLUGIN? Thats not what this exe is, this is for updating a map file before gameex starts. Completely different thing. You should remove that command from the launch before parameter. You bed to download it, and then enable the plugin via GameEx's plugin interface: Start > GameEx > Plugin Manager Edit: I see you have it installed and it's initializing. Can you post the log from GameEx > Plugins > HiScore Snapper? I need the log and settings.xml from there. Also be advised that: the rom must be the same one specified for the comp, and if you don't have a custom compiled MAME with DirectInput enabled, you can't use internal MAME settings.

Oh, and here. MESSUI

UME is your 'one to rule them both emulator', no more MESS and MAME compiled separately. UME

Hmm, I'll have to try it and see whats going on.

Nah I think what I need to do in that case is manually search for the Steam game id inside the folder Tom keeps the snaps in instead of just using the info GameEx provides me. It's not always right, as you can see, sometimes it sends me the path of the last emulated game on accident.

@han: MESS compile works well actually, and so does UME if you're wondering. @tthurman: Just curious, what's the issue?

Do you know what their sig restrictions are offhand? Are you getting an error in the forum?

Better than being asquare. Lol!

Same for me but my games aren't even in the local machine, they're on the server so I can use my laptop too without reinstalling games.

Thats a known issue. It can't load an x64 dll on an x86 machine. I usually just delete the file it complains about.

Ahh I bet it only is a problem with Steam games since there is some trickery involved there, but I can look into it.

Just a quick update on the automatic downloader app: Once I finish up with the new additions to dbm, I plan on offloading map/ini creation into a new php page that will generate the list on the server instead of only generating when the database is updated, and will be updating the console exe accordingly. This should remove the problem mentioned earlier if the map/ini isn't uploaded properly. I will keep you updated with the progress there. Instead of having to know the url of the appropriate file, both will use the same url but with a different arg in the url, for example: gameinfo.hfc-essentials.com/hiscore/get.php?type=map&icon=hiscore will generate the map file on request, and set the custom icon to hiscore.png, which will allow users to specify their own custom GameEx icon. Just a heads up for those who use this, since the launch before command will change when the exe is updated.

DaFont.com is a pretty good spot to check. Yeah, the idea was to create something everyone can call their own, and I'm glad you're having fun with it.

Sorry, I've been working on the DBM. I'll have a look later. Update: Should be fine now.

Youre probably not hitting the change view button enough times, three are lots of different views, some of which seem the same. If thats not the case, do you have write permissions to the install folder? A log file and a copy of your config might be useful to those trying to troubleshoot.

Damn that was fast... Now I gotta update the Xpadder plugin again?!? Heh!

It's the 1-3% that keep it reliable for all users, even in crazy scenarios. Thanks for helping my plugins achieve that goal, you're a star.
