DataWest

There must be something the matter with me. Cant figure out how to do this. I am putting it in the data folder correct?

Thanks I'll try that.

I'm using the newest version of mame and I can't seem to find a category file that is in English. Even the one that is supposed to be in English is in French. Any links to a good one?

I am using the default theme. All my mame games are also showing up and working. Here's my question. How do I add the descriptions to all the games like the video on the front page of the site? All my ini files are in place I think, I can see the controls (isn't that an ini file?). No player information or descriptions though. Also, where can I download the video (or screenshot) preview and marquee for the left side of the screen?

Indeed it was. Thanks.

This is the error I am getting. 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: GameEx: Version 11.62: Starting Log 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Operating System Name: Windows XP 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: .net Framework 1.1 Installed 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: .net Framework 3.0 Installed 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: .net Framework 3.5 Installed 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Genuine Intel® CPU T2080 @ 1.73GHz, 1014MB 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: 1.73Ghz - 2 Cores or CPU's 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Running Randomize() 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Loading PlugIns 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Running Misc startup tasks 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Setting Menu types 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Opening Configuration File 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Getting Configuration Values 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Using Theme: Default - Media Center 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Media Center 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Using Images from theme: Default - Media Center V1\MEDIA\ 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Launching HideOS.exe 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance) 00:42:03.7 3/19/2011: Hiding Taskbar 00:42:03.8 3/19/2011: Is Media Center running? 00:42:03.8 3/19/2011: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 00:42:03.8 3/19/2011: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 00:42:03.8 3/19/2011: Media Center Mode 2 00:42:03.8 3/19/2011: Video previews on.
