  1. Sorry for the double-post but I think I see the issue: So I noticed further down my Favorites list that there was a double-up on the SNES Aladdin title screen applied to the Sega version. (attached) The same exact thing happened in an earlier screenshot with the SNES and PSX versions of Clocktower, with the SNES version having the PSX title screen. Does this mean that my Favorites and Last Played lists are somehow "looking ahead" within the same emulator/console for a matching game? If it finds a game with the same title, it just reuses the title from the previous console, but if it can't, it falls back on the Not Found Snap? And if there is no Not Found Snap, then it falls back to fetching the right icon? Bah, so confusing...
  2. My problem persists with GameEx 14.58, but I've noticed a pattern where every time there's a Steam game in the Favorites or Last Played list, the very next non-steam and non-Mame game has the Steam logo. I was able to replicate the problem by going into the Advanced Emulator Setup page and add a Not Found Snap to another emulator (example NES). The minute I did that, after every NES game, the following Non-NES, Non-Mame game (ex: Sega Genesis or SNES) had the NES Not Found Snap. Attached is a screenshot of what I'm talking about. You'll notice my cursor is on Alan Wake (Steam) but it's pulling the NES Not Found Snap after Bayou Billy. Additionally, the original Steam icon I was having problems with has the name "cgameexthemesdefault-defaultmedialogossteamTrue20131012912" When I disable Steam, the NES issue persists. So, will disabling "Not Found Snaps" through my whole configuration stop the Favorites and Last Played areas from showing the wrong images, and if so, how do I disable Not Found Snaps for Steam? Let me know if you need any more information on the matter (log files, config files, etc)
  3. Yup, same issue sadly.
  4. Hmmmm, deleting the EMU_1002.dbcacheini and gameex_[PC] Valve Steam.map files didn't seem to help. I'm still getting the same image errors on the same games in Last Played and Favorites. Weirder yet is if I add and remove games from the Favorites, the same games have the same missing images (ex: adding/removing a game doesn't cause a random effect to others; Earthbound still has a Steam logo regardless). Maybe someone else has an idea or two, but thanks for the all the help RedDog
  5. Thanks RedDog. I deleted the .dbcache files from my installation as well as the cached thumbnails, but no go. I've even restored a default, clean DATA.db3 file and rebuilt a short favorites list and I'm getting the same problems as before. One thing I did notice is that if you disable Steam in GameEx... the problems magically disappear. Re-enable it, and they're back to the same. Also, various game titles seem to have different heights, and different thumbnail image names. Not sure if this matters or not, but it looked odd: Example: - emygamesplaystation2titlesdevilmaycry(usa)False2016942212 - emygamesplaystation2titlesdevilmaycry(usa)True2016942212 Attached are some screenshots and the gameex.ini file. I couldn't find a config.txt file in my search, so I included the config.ini as well Thanks for looking into this GameEx.ini Config.ini
  6. Would that be deleting the contents of the following directory: "[root]\GameEx\MEDIA\THUMBS" ? If so, yes I've tried that
  7. Is there a way, either via the theme editor or through the Setup Wizard, to choose which images are pulled in Grid View? Is there a way to choose to display boxart, cartridges, or title screens (personal favorite) with a simple setting? I've manipulated the 'logos' folders to demonstrate how it could look. Ideally it would be cool to make a combination of what shows up in the top-left box (video/snap), bottom-left box (logo/title screen), and in the Grid View (boxart, carts, title screen, logos, etc) as demonstrated by the Photoshopped screenshot featuring Castlevania: SOTN (attached below) This feature would be amazing!
  8. Hi, The Steam icons in the Grid View are showing up better than before but there appears to be some inconsistency in Last Played and Favorites view? Attached is a screenshot: The most obvious thing is non-Steam games appearing with the Steam icon XD But it also seems to be pulling different Steam game image proportions: Oniken and Isaac are large and squared where 20XX and Geometry Wars is resized. Just thought I'd bring it up here since it was mentioned that only the Steam Icons were displaying earlier. Thanks for the hard work
  9. Just a heads up that GameEx got some love from a popular and influential Emulation-centric YouTube channel, Simply Austin. It's a pretty good video regarding the GameEx features, the GameEx setup, and some kind words about the GameEx forum community. Thought you would enjoy the shoutout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtolkXjascA
  10. Thanks Tom!
  11. I was thinking seperate favorites lists would be a cool option, then I read in a different thread that this was the place to cast a vote for anticipated feature. Favorite Survival Horror, Sports games, 8-bit Classics, or whatever a user feels like classifying different Favorite games as. Or would a way to add custom 'tags' to Favorites accomplish something similar?
  12. I'll message you directly so we don't take up more space on the Evolution thread. Thanks
  13. I'm having the same problem with the Feature & Enhancement Requests topic as Vic Rattlehead. I was going to ask about "multiple favorites lists" but read in a previous post that it was already a popular feature request, and I was directed to the aforementioned topic to voice support for it.
  14. Thanks for looking into it Tom and Draco1962
