Thanks for the quick response. I will post more info asap.

Question: Are earlier versions of GameEx still available? Am I correct in thinking after V11 GameEx uses D3D and not DDraw any more? Problem: GameEx gets to Creating Back Buffer and produces error Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Texture.. I suspect D3D based on the following. Mame would not run until I changed D3D to DDraw in config.ini; Windows Media center gives error "adaptor or drivers not compatible" when launched but runs anyway. dxdiags shows everything as fine and DDraw test and Direct3D tests are successful (runs interface 7,8,9 test fine). I would like to try a DDraw version of GameEx to see if it works but cannot find. Or maybe I have got it all wrong and someone has a better suggestion to try. I can run Mame with other Fontends but GameEx is the frontend I liked best and I suspect will not run with the ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP 2x (GT-C2u2) on board adapter. Cant change this as no AGP support on motherboard. Project is for a friends Arcade Cabinet from spare hardware I have so cant upgrade. TIA Kiwi
