Tom, Im using the arcade.mp3 track for the start menu when i select an emulator it plays music from the games on exiting back to the start menu GameEx continues to play the arcade.mp3 track so i dont think thats the problem. Is it possible that maybe i have some kinda bug with in windows 7 that is causing an issue / confict with GameEX although ive not had any other problems with any other applications or games im using. It only seemed to happen after i installed Play station emulators but that may just be a coinsidential, as i did try turning them off and still got a crash when selecting the spectrum emulator page. I hope this can be resolved as i love GameEx and have been recommending it to people but with it keep on crashing there kinda put off which is a real shame, i just say its my windows is not set right ( a lie i know, but thats how much i love GameEx ). Ian

Different error but log supplied for your info. Was running with default theme. and another

Sorry for the deley , busy day with working nights and the royal wedding, ive read threw the post will try and answer all that is mentioned. Tom: Yes i have only shark win7 codec pack installed along with direct x 11. Adultery : yes games can run but the crash happens at different times. Hasnt happened during a game ( yet ) only when scrolling threw menus, select emulator go back etc.. I only have one codec pack installed shark win7 which apparently removes other codecs on instalation. Draco1962 : will disable back ground video and see what happens. ( where is this option i see display background mode, mine is set to black? ) EDIT : Fired up machine crashed after 5 mins, rebooted ran for 30 mins no problems still going now...some its got me!!

Ah ha, thanks celly, you are correct, if it doesnt find 1 in the current theme its looks in gameex/themes/default-default/media/logo but i didnt realise that. Ian.

Im having a problem with theme logos, in gameex it states that the logo to be shown for the emulators needs to be in current theme/logos, if im running for example deep purple logos show up that are not in the logo draw? so where does gameex get them ? Ian.

BTW if you need any more help just PM me, and i`ll detail it. Ian

The videos you download from emumovies are placed in the snap draw of the emulator you are running, the snap name must be the same as the rom so for example if you have frogger for the psx then in the psx emulator section your entry would be F:\GameEx\EMULATORS\psx\snap or whatever your path is in there you can have a png called frogger.png and frogger.avi so when you highlight the frogger game the picture will appear and the video will play. Hope that answers your question. Ian.

im off to work now my friend so will supply more info and testing tomorrow. Will do as you sujjest and post back. Many THanks. Ian

Done as requested. EDIT : And 25 minutes later gameex crashes.

I thought i have solved this problem apparently not as today ive just had a crash loaded up after a about a minute the Gamex has stopped running error. Log enclosed. Please help, as this is becoming annoying now. Any info required i will willing give to resolve this, just tell me where and how to obtain and i will post. Many Thanks.

ok ive installed psx added art vids etc.. and guess what .. yep GameEx errors again.. take out the psx ( select no ) and GameEx will run forever, this must be a bug within gameex im sure , i have direct x 11 running and i have an ati radeon hd 4300 / 4500 series, with the latest drivers installed. Im looking as if i cant run psx emulators in Gameex so will have to run out of gameex. It seems its the video snaps ( only in psx emulators ) that r causing the problem as ive spend hrs systematically taking out and adding folders to the psx emulator and low and below take out the video snaps and it works I dont know why i checked and i have sharks win7 codec installed etc.... im quite happy to run this emu without video snaps png will do. Consider this issue now resolved....psx works with games but im still having issues with epsxe and ps2 emulator but we'll address those later as im off to work now Thanks for all the help advise and guidance. 1,000,000 respect points to you all.

Have installed psx and it seems to run slightly jirky but not much, also cant get dead or alive to work, but seems ok for most other stuff, but if it works ok in gameex i`ll be happy lol, Maybe just need to look at the options to config it, but in saying that WHAT options lol !

lol !

ah well if it comes with adultry's blessing then i have to give it a try. cheers mesk will let you know how i get on with it. Ian

hi mesk, have tried different video plugin tono avail...r u using psx and does it work ok with gameex?

ive updated gameex to latest version, have sharkies codec, latest gfx and direct x, framework 4 installed etc... but for the life of me can i get epsxe to work in gameex, if i enable it in the list gameex crashes almost straight away, is it a bug within gameex that it doesnt like espxe? ive tried updating list, deleted cache, altered themes and nothing will stop it crashing, gameex doesnt even report an error in the log, frequency can vouch for that, its really annoying as epsxe was 1 emulator i was looking forward to running in my cab, works 100% outside of gameEx btw. So does anybody else run epsxe ok with gameex or can any body advise what to try or do. Ian. EDIT : It seems its the video snaps ( only in psx emulators ) that r causing the problem as ive spend hrs systematically taking out and adding folders to the psx emulator and low and below take out the video snaps and it works I dont know why i checked and i have sharks win7 codec installed etc.... im quite happy to run this emu without video snaps png will do.

update now done. . Thanks a million dood.

Thanks Tom, ive downloaded and installed 11.69 and i still get a crash but ive now found that its caused by the PSX emulator ive installed, any ideas why this would cause GameEx to crash.. ive unticked the psx and its running sweet. I was using epsxe.

I Dont have multiple installs, only 1 on the f:drive.

Im sorry but i dont understand what you mean by using the offline installer. Do you mean download Gameex and reinstall on f: ?

reinstall the offline installer ??

No i had only 1 version on drive f: when it asked do i want to update i said yes it then downloaded and installed a version in c: ?? its on f: as c: is a fixed drive and i use a removable cos its in my cab that doesnt have internet access. How can i make it update the one on f: i have deleted the one on d:

Also my GamEx is located on F: a removable drive, the update keeps installing a version on d: ?? why doesnt it update the one on f:

I have just turned on auto update its downloaded and installed and restarted now its saying update? SM

All but MAME seems to work though, and both either windowed or full screen i have tried altering my screen res and altering the themes in gameex but to no avail. Also the gfx are messed up at the top? PS also i havent updated GameEx foroa while as it seemed stable im going to update now and see if that does anygood.
