The database I am referring to is in your config, edit this line DATABASE=[Console] Nintendo SNES Also the RUNITGAME.bat is the command gameex uses to launch the emulator, that fact that it is flashing and closing is because it is erroring out. Right click on the RUNLASTGAME.bat and choose edit, then select its contents and choose copy, next click on start>run and type "cmd" without quotes. then right click in the dos box and choose PASTE, then press enter. This should show you the error, please let us know what it is.. I bet a dollar it cannot find the path or file specified. Dont give up, we will get you going in no time. Trust me.
