Hi. I've recently installed Game Ex. I've downloaded Nestopia/Virtuanes, SNex9x/ZSNES. None of these emulators will actually run a game from within Game Ex. They all run games outside of it. Game Ex DOES find my rom directory, listing the games, but when I click play game, the Game Ex window disappears, the emulator doesn't start and eventually the Game Ex window returns. An example of the log, when I click to play a game. 20:25:33.2 4/9/2012: Running: cmd.exe /c C: snes9x.exe -fullscreen "D:\Jolene\Games\Roms\Super Nintendo\Super Mario World (USA).sfc" 20:25:33.3 4/9/2012: Shutting down display Here's the ini for SNES9x.
