Seems we still gotta do this. Man, if Mame runs ok and how you want it, without GameEx, guess what - it will still run the same without GameEx and how you want it. All GameEx does is provide a UI to Mame, (and many other emulators), so if MAME isn't working for you, GameEx didn't do it. You did. You need to figure out which commands you fluffed etc because GameEx didn't do it.

As RedDog said, this is basic stuff

Exactly. Everyone should be digging! A good start would be the article Felix linked

First of all "freedom of speech" only exists in the US. Those laws do not apply to Europe anymore. Secondly, "A very small percentage of women coming forward are lying" is a lie in itself. Just like the "wage gap", just like other "statistics". It's all easily debunked. Something needs to happen to false accusers because they ruin lives with a free pass. Nothing happens to them, yet their accused have their lives ruined, they lose their job, their children, their family, everything! For merely an accusation. The accuser though, just carries on regardless, no charges, without a second thought on what they have done. Doesn't seem right to me.

Not "technically", they do. Why do you need to trust devices that blatantly violate your privacy? So your logic is: Everything is invading my life, so therefore, i'll let everything invade my life.

This is how mass surveillance has become a thing, because you would rather be lazy than diligent. You actually just said you would rather be monitored, day in day out, instead of making some effort not to be. That is a scary mindset if you ask me. Honestly it astounds me how quick people are willing to give up every aspect of theirs lives because of likes and "friends". Hate to break it to ya, but none of those people are your friends.

Happy most yes to you too.

Wishing a rockin Christmas to you all!

Grab a cart each. You do beer and wine, i'll do spirits. GO!

All information helps my man, even if not immediately. Thanks for the share.

Can you run (double click) runitgame.bat found in your /GameEx/DATA folder and let us know the results. At the same time paste the contents of it here so we can confirm the commands being used (right-click runtitgame.bat, choose Edit, open in Notepad).

Agreed, also i would change these: to this:

Just setting up my rig, so get ready for some extremely average scores!

Dang my score is pitiful i might have to start posting around here...

Hey Stigz, Any particular reason you have 2 entries for the rompath in your .ini? One of them is an imposter It's probably nothing but i notice these things and they niggle at me

Ubisoft are clowns so not interested in their opinion. The console gaming market has gone to shit coz of corps like Ubi Activision EA etc. Next gen can eat my pixelated durdle. Nintendo are well on the ball this time and once i own a Switch that'll do me. Back to retro where the challenge and satisfaction is real, instead of all this catering to the worst (type of) players with the most money.

'appy birthday me ole china! of course you put a "dent in the garage" on your birthday - who wouldn't?? yup, i do euphemisms folks. catch me next week...

Hey guys, hope y'all doing good. Missed you much! Hope all is good here and y'all doing well.

Yup, HideOS is only advantageous in certain circumstances, otherwise it should be disabled.

OK. am i have to do it? Fair enough, here goes: I wish you a good trip brother.

Forgive me @Macguvyer, But the complexity of micro's is not the issue, it's the fact that nobody can unify them. The whole point/reason of a front-end is to make it as simple as possible for anyone to launch a rom/game/app/program. This is literally absurd when it comes to micro's. They are too complex, which is why, after many many years, there is still no unifying code, no go-to, nothing. All FE's suffer this fate, because there simply is no real solution.

Yup. Two options, way cheaper, nuff said

I will give an alternative view, my view on this Also having spent years trying to find a comfortable solution, i came to the conclusion that micro comps (pretty much all of them) are just not suited very well to the FE ethos - ie, click a game and run it. Mostly when people speak of a front end (especially in retro gaming terms) they imagine a system of which you browse a list of games, you press a key/button and you're off playing. This works really well for closed systems/consoles, but it somewhat falls apart when it come to micro's, due to the nature of these machines. There is no standard to follow, no rules to adhere to because these machines were the pioneers, they established over time, what we now would call "standard". Not only do they have their own rules per system, but they also have their own rules/commands per game/software! This is why, to this day, no one has made a definitive solution to this. There have been many valiant attempts to standardise micro's, as outlined by you @Macguvyer, and while they make things a little easier for us all, they will never be perfect. It's just the way the water flows.

RetroArch is built for ease of use, I'd be surprised if you had any problem with it.
