Looks great, your perseverance certainly paid off on something that's not the easiest thing to configure. Thanks for posting back your solution and guidance, I'm sure it'll be a big help to others! This thread would make a great addition to the "Guides" forum.

Found the below at CDCruze, hope it provides some insight. demul.exe -run=naomi -rom={0} demul.exe -run=awave -rom={0} {0} is a placeholder for your ROM name. To get the correct ROM name, in DEMUL hit File > Load NAOMI or Atomiswave. In the column that says Name, that’s what needs to in place of {0}. Also do not put the full path to the ROM file, just put the ROM file name.

Has your romset been updated to match the mame 0.235 release via clrmamepro or similar?

Could be getting filtered out from one of the settings under the Advance MAME Settings. Have you tried specifically listing these titles in the "Don't filter these ROMS"

Check this and give it another go.

Thanks for pointing this out @Tom Speirs will need to take a peek at this one.

Ok, that explains the head then. I've not seen one of those, but I've had more than my share of the other.

Are you still having an issue? You may have been trying to connect during maintenance.

Nice copperhead!

MiSTer makes this pretty easy, even on LCD's. The main problem with MiSter currently is that it is so young in development. There is still much ground to be covered, which is thankfully trucking along thanks to some really talented people. In that regard, there are many similarities to MAME. I'm tweaking mine to run cooler currently, but it's a very cool platform that is well worth the cost of admission. It's biggest downside is the fact it will likely never have al the eye candy support that MAME brings. The gameplay however, that's where it breaks away from the crowd.

Oh Glad you got it sorted out!

I've upgraded GameEx time and time again without touching the previous installation. It just installs over itself and backs up your gameex.ini to give you something to revert back to if for some reason things don't go well. Even if for some reason something fail to "take" for one reason or another you should be able to reinstall it over itself again to correct whatever it was that went wrong. Obviously there will be exceptions to the norm and perhaps that what you've just experienced. Some themes don't play well though, so that could be it as well.

I'm just wondering if anyone here has a PC CRT in their cab? If so, what's your experience with these higher resolution monitors and retro gaming? I never got rid of my IBM P260, which sports a SONY FD Trinitron under the hood, and now see these topics of people using 19" and above PC monitors for their MiSTer setups. It always was a great monitor, but seemed way out of place for MAME. Given that, it's been in storage for the last ~ 15 years. Even shadow mask based VGA displays are a seemingly popular. The scan lines will make a believer out of you! Quality CRT's in both the PC and TV realm are becoming rare now, especially good ones with component inputs. Still wish I'd picked up that 27" Sony a couple years back, for FREE, but oh well. Check the prices, they are now expensive again.

What happens if you change your theme back to default? Tom will need the regular files at a minimum in order to see if he can replicate this. GameEx.ini and log

The info you're seeing, is it GameEx Online username and password type stuff, or actual configuration from the past? Doing a search of my HDD shows a lot of info in this folder. C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\AppIconCache\100 I would be hesitant to recommend just blowing out stuff, but it can always be recovered. Something like CCleaner may get you where you want to be, but that will depend on your level of confidence with that application.

I do not know that answer.

I don't have GameEx AE loaded up to verify, but it should be similar to regular GameEx. That being the case, the GameEx.ini and the GameEx.ini backup (created when updating) are in the config folder. See this post In addition to ClassicGMR's suggestion, you may want to run your OS (Windows 10) through the DISM paces. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-dism-command-line-utility-repair-windows-10-image
