Yes, without gameex model2 runs at whatever resolution i put, and if i close the program and open it back again the last resolution i picked is mark. theres no problem there. Its gsmeex that changes the resolution.

Hello. Im using the option where gameex uses model2 emulator instead of mame. Everything runs great but for some reazon gameex opens the model2 games at 800x600 and i want them at 640x480. What can i do? Ah, the log says emulator multicpu.exe daytona. Thats it, so theres nothing strange right there, gameex has its own model2 configuration and i cant find it

Hi everyone! well, mi pc broke i had to reinstall gameex. I tried the newest version but was so different that i couldnt figure it out how the hell configure all the things that i used to have. specially without the gameexconfig file that was before and now doesnt exist anymore! Why gameex? because i knew how to use different versions of emulators on a single list, (mame model2 zinc etc) and because the screensaver its awesome! Im using gameex on an arcade cab with a real arcade monitor at 640x288, and all the games running at their original resolution. i could install an old version of gameex and it works great, but the screensaver doesnt. here's the log.

Thank you. you were right. i made a safe copy of my gameex folder and then i updated. it didn't work at all. but when i delete the folder and put back the safe copy, the screensaver started to work perfect. bye

i don't mhave internet on that machine. how can i do it? and also, i'm a little afraid that it could change my configuration. like i said, everything runs perfect except the screensaver. if you say it's safe i'll do it
