Cool

Since v 7.76 i've been getting this error message (below), as soon as i launch GameEx the nag screen shows for a second then minimizes then goes back to full screen then minimizes and shows the error log. It doesnt happen all the time, about once out of every 3 times of launching Game Ex. I tried different themes and upgraded to v7.79 and it still happens. It doesnt bother me much i can put up with it, but wanted to report it incase it was a bug or if someone can tell me if its some setting i have to change to fix it. 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: GameEx: Version 7.79: Starting Log 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: Operating System Name: Windows XP 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.60GHz 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: 2.6Ghz 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: Running Randomize() 18:30:47.2 3/17/2007: Loading PlugIns 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Loaded Plugin:"Speak Game Name" Version 1.4 By Tom Speirs 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: PlugIn: "Speak Game Name" Initialized OK 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Running Misc startup tasks 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Setting Menu types 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Opening Configuration File 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Getting Configuration Values 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Using Theme: Default - Soul Calibur 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Soul Calibur 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Launching HideOS.exe 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Hiding Taskbar 18:30:47.3 3/17/2007: Is Media Center running?

ZSNES News Dec 21st, 2006 - Nach "I am pleased to announce another long awaited release of ZSNES. This time around we made many improvements to the software in general, fixed, and added many new features. We also have made several updates to the emulation fixing bugs that were never addressed before. Please read our large but but comparatively modest change log of all the changes we made. Enjoy the release and happy holidays from the ZSNES Team." v1.50 - December 22, 2006 http://www.zsnes.com/index.php?page=news

I had these too, theres a link for them on the Kega site but its hidden in the old fourm archives from over a year ago, But thanks for posting them here for everyone

choose Custom in the 1st text/lang box to see your changes

I use the latest set of GoodNES roms and there are a few roms that have bad headers or garbage in the headers. But to stop the messages from showing up in Nestopia, in the Nestopia Options menu under preferences check the box next to "Suppress pedantic warnings / remarks" that should stop them.

Nestopia v1.35 (NES) http://nestopia.sourceforge.net/

yeah i got them at pleasurdome, its 3.44gb unzipped

Try setting stella to run in full screen, thats what caused my problems when i first set it up

Having trouble taking snaps with 6.65, starts off ok but sometimes goes back to take snaps of games that already had snaps taken over and over again, also would pause sometimes and bring up windows display properties box, and after exiting from taking snaps then shutting down GameEx i get this error message Was working fine till i upgraded from v6.56

Have same problem with the size of snaps being real small but seems to be only with that theme your using Adultery, (Future Retro) other themes seem fine
