The zip file attached above fixed the problem for me too. Thanks.

Yes, the same thing is happening to me (just in recent version). Joystick 4 is the only one that will navigate the menus, even though it is set to All Devices in configuration.

Hi. I stumbled across the Extras page on this site and decided to update to the most recent files. I updated history.dat, mameinfo.dat, nplayers.ini and possibly catver.ini. I recently noticed that there are no longer recommendations for other games at the bottom of the pages for MAME games. I tried reverting the files, but can't get the recommendations back. I have updated GameEx since then, and that didn't help either. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike

Hi. It took me quite a while to get my computer set up the way I wanted it in order to run GameEx. I figured I'd post my setup to make it easier for others with similar setups. I have only one computer. When in normal use, I want the monitor to be the primary display, and have a screen saver and power management enabled. When used for GameEx, I want the TV to be primary display, and have the Windows screen saver and power management disabled. Here is the batch file I run to accomplish this: rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg setview 1 dualview TA AA regedit /s "c:\program files\gameex\utils\ssdis.reg" "c:\windows\system32\powercfg.exe" /s 2 /n "c:\program files\gameex\gameex.exe" "c:\windows\system32\powercfg.exe" /s 0 /n regedit /s "c:\program files\gameex\utils\ssen.reg" rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg setview 1 dualview AA TA Lines 1&7 are command line invocations of nView to switch the primary display (only useful with Nvidia graphic cards) - gleaned from: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9392 Lines 2&6 edit the registry to (dis/en)able the Windows screen saver gleaned from: http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-10877_11-5572452.html Lines 3&5 (dis/en)able Windows power management gleaned from: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324347 It's been working well for me so far. There is one odd thing. I have display2 configured as being to the left of display1. After using this batch file it gets set back to the default of being to the right of display1. I save the batch file in the utils folder I created, then make a shortcut and place it on my desktop. In the shortcut's properties, I assign it a shortcut key. I map this shortcut to my Logitech Wireless Rumblepad2, using it's software (http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/latest_soft_xp.htm) and now I can launch GameEx from the living room. This part sometimes doesn't work, I am still trying to figure out why.
