Hi guys, I'm away from my gaming rig right now but will upload my log / ini files later, just thought I would pre-ask to see what the crew thinks. Maybe there's an obvious problem I'm missing. First off, really new to Mame + GameEx, so apologies for noobishness. I have an X-Arcade dual stick controller, and I've set up Mame Plus! (recommended by X-Arcade) as my mame engine of choice. After some tinkering, I have most of my roms working with MamePlus, and the X-Arcade stick is working flawlessly. SO, just mentioning that to say that I know my mame install and the controller are not the problem. So I installed GameEx and it has a much easier configuration interface than most of the front ends I've used. Everything seemed to go groovy until I got to the Select / Import Emulators part. So, I'm assuming I don't need to select any because I already have Mame installed...... And when I start up GameEx and do a scan for games.... well.... it sees the mame install (i am pointing it to the MamePlus directory and the executable) but the list of games doesn't update. I read in the forums that Mame Plus! was formerly not supported well, but now GameEx says (on its site) that it is.... so I'm assuming I am doing something wrong. First question: Am I doing something obviously wrong by not selecting a Mame during the select/import emulators part, since I already have MamePlus? Or is this problem due to some other issue? Second question: Is there a way to make a menu of just games (regardless of emulator)? I think its weird to have to navigate to an emulator and THEN a list of games from that emulator. Makes no UI sense. I just want a list of my games, period, i don't care what emulation engine they are running. I'll attach the files a bit later on, but hoping folks know a little about this even without the files! -D
