Wow, resolved! Thank you all, especially Koop for bringing this topic back to life and fRequEnCy for the fix!

Adultery - I would appreciate it greatly if you would post your Stella config. I will try to post mine later tonight...

Draco, How would I go about uploading copies of my Stella log and config files? Thx...

Right, I copied it over to C:Mame and when I ran GamEx I could tell that something ahppened; it was reloading all of my roms. However, nothing has changed in GameEx. It all works fine but the same as it was a week asgo - no high scores.

I'm not receiving any errors when I compile. I didn't follow the instructions on headkaze's website; I followed the instructions that Adultery provided earlier in this post. My MinGW\source directory contains a folder called MAME0142 which contains: docs (folder), hash (folder), obj (folder), src (folder), makefile (file), mame (application), mame142c (Zip), whatsnew (txt)

Adultery - If you could upload the 142.exe that would be great! For some reason, its not showing up in my MingGW folder after I compile. I've tried it three times now. Other than that, I've gotten everything else straightened out.

What a cluster-cuss! I should have just let it alone and lived without hi-scores. Do you agree with my suggestion - just remove all of Mame from my machine and start over with a clean download?

The instructions called for downloading the source code. Should I have downloaded the binary? I am thinking that I should completely remove Mame from my machine and try to start over?

Even after I go into the task manager and 'end task' for the 7-zip self extracting archive, I am now getting frozen on the 'Updating Mame Game List' page.

Still stuck on the "Please wait while loading..." screen. When I run the task manager, it appears as if there is a procees running called "7-zip self extracting archive". If I terminate this process, the issue clears up. Any idea what this is or how I can stop it from happening?

Been awhile since I posted on this, but its starting to agitate me again. After further research, it appears as if the flashing/jumping screen is only happening when I exit the Stella emulator and go back to GameEx. Must have something to do with the display settings in Stella, right? Any ideas?

Ok, I followed all of your instructions. Next question, what do I need to change in GameEx in order for it to be aware of the newly compiled version of Mame? I thought that I would go into the Mame setup in GamEx and point it toward C:/MingGW/Source/MAME0142. However, when I tried that, GameEx was unable to load. I just keep getting frozen at the initial loading screen.

#5 - How do I run MAME compiler? There doesnt seem to be anything executable in the C:/MingGW folder?

Adultery, What do you mean by "Hiscore patch not hitting your hammer?" Its been awhile since I set up my machine, but my recollection was that there were only two ways to track high scores in Mame: 1. Compile your own version of Mame (not even sure what this means so it appears to be out of my leaugue) 2. Set up auto-save Originally, I set up the auto save in Mame to track high scores. It worked well except that there were so many negatives I didn't count on (eg. you can't quit in the middle of a round of Golden Tee without finishing that round the next time you start up). Is there any easier way to maintain high scores? I hate to keep losing my high score in Donkey Kong and I'm optimistic about this patch that you mention!

I set MAME to auto save-state every time that I exit so that I could retain high scores. However, I am finding that this may not be worth the hassles that come along with it. For example, if I quit a game in mid-game, I will need to go back and finish that game out the next time I load it up. Right? Or am I missing something? There are a 1,000 different scenarios that could present themselves where this would be far less than ideal.

How do I change the resolution in the emulators?

First of all, thank you to everyone for your input. Yes, I am using an onboard graphics adapter. I realize that its probably not recomended. However, other than this, I have never had any issues. I should probably start by telling you that much of this is really over my head. That said, a cpl. of quick questions: 1. Would there be updates for an onboard graphics adapter? 2. If I upgrade to 11.64, will I lose any of my current info or settings (eg. 'Favorites', etc) 3. If I update XP, will I lose anything? This is not what I would describe as a major issue, so I'm debating on whether or not I should just live with it (its just annoying to look at and only occurs after using one of the console emulators). Other than this, my machine is pretty much complete so I'm hoping not to have to go backwards in any way. Thanks again!

I am having an issue whenever I go into one of my console emulators. Everything works fine in the emulator. However, when I exit and go back to GameEx, the screen is flashing and jumping. When I go back into another game, everything is fine again. It is very frustrating to go through the GameEx menus with the screen flashing. This only happens when I nter and then exit a console emulator (eg. when I am strictly using Mame, I don't have any issues). Anybody have any advice?

Thanks for the reply, Tom. Correct - my folder structure is not seperated by album folders. Some are, many are not. Does this mean that I would have to rework my entire music selection to establish this setup? I haven't had to do that in the past b/c ITunes will show album artwork for the albums that I have any then it will just be blank for those that I do not. It seems that GameEx uses random artwork for the album folders that are nonexistent. Alternatively, is there a way to show NO artwork at all? I'd rather have nothing there than show the same album cover for 100's of incorect albums. Also, I noticed in another post that you mentioned using GameEx as a launcher for another jukebox program. Could you shed some light on how this would be accomplished?

I am having a lot of trouble with the jukebox - specifically with the album artwork. I have approximately 30 GB worth of music that is for the most part tagged properly. I have tried setting it up through WMP, Itunes and also file tag mode. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to get the artwork set up correctly. If I view my music throguh WMP or Itunes, the artwoek is correct. However, when I view through GameEx, I get one random cover showing up for almost all albums. I have seen this issue posted a couple of other times but have not seen any solution. Please help...
