I am trying to cull my game list to get rid of games I don't want. So instead of starting with an entire set, I thought I would start with the ones I know and work and then add more from there once they are tested and have all the necessary files. My issue is, I have started with just a couple of ROM's that work but when I update my game list, Gameex shows me the entire list of available games, not just the 3 in my ROM folder. I have tweaked a few filters in the advanced mame section but it doesn't seem to matter. I am using Gameex 3.0.3, Mame 0.0161 with corresponding ROMs. I have also applied the Mame system pack to Gameex. Is there a setting I am missing???? Thanks, Jason GameEx.ini

After recent GameEx update MameUI64 (and I've tried Mame64) crashes immediately after launch. I get an error message that says something went wrong this program needs to close. Doesn't matter what game. Any help would greatly be appreciated. log.txt GameEx.ini

GameEx not listing Mame roms past CarnEvil since last update. I've tried updating the list several times and no luck. I have all the latest dats and the current 1.50 version of Mame. Any help would be very appreciated. log.txt GameEx.ini

Hello and good morning/afternoon!! I know its a little bit late, but I've finally updated GameEx to 13.03. I loved reading all the new "goodies" to it, and still a little excited about it maybe I'll add a little live local tv to the cab in some time . Anyway, since the update, I've noticed a couple of things that I can't quite figure how to fix. The first thing is that when GameEx is on the start page, the theme background is either missing, or is set to black. The lists and snaps are still there, but the background is black. When I go into whichever menu, e.g. emulator section, mame, favorites, etc, the theme background image displays. I've tried changing views, as well as changing themes, but all does this same thing. The other thing, (and I'm not sure if this has to do with the update, but narrowed it down to GameEx) is when 2 player coin ("6") and 2 player start ("2") are pressed at the same time in any emulator, GameEx would shut down the emulator (besides mame, which it would still play in the background...sorta) and focus would return back to GameEx. I've tried to mimic this on emulators outside of GameEx (I've even tried opening notepad to see if it was the Ipac), and all works well outside of GameEx. I normally wouldn't worry about it, but when the kids are over and start playing, they have a tendency to try to rush in a virtual quarter and press start...practically at the same time lol. Thanks for any help in advance!! And attached are the log files, as well as the .ini file. LC GameEx.ini log.txt ThemeEditor.txt

Crash during custom menu transitions after recent update. GameEx keeps crashing when either going into or coming out of menus. It's usually when backing out of, but not specifically, and it happens at random. It's happened at least 8 times since recent update. Theme.ini log.txt

Hey all, It has been mentioned that a few members are having trouble with 'After Darness' image layouts with certain emulators, so I thought I'd let people know that I've done a few more (78 in total) ini's to add to the theme to solve this. Reason this is happening The theme uses custom layouts and if an emulator is used that doesn't have an .ini it automatically goes to a default layout. I'm not 100% that all the names of the .ini's are correct, but I'm sure this will solve those emulator image placement problems. A slight rename might be needed as all of our setups are different but thats not different from the usual changes we all make to our GameEx setups. I have a zip of all 78 files for convenience for those that have issues. All that you need to do is extract to the 'GameEx\THEMES\After Darkness ' folder and overwrite any ini files that are there, unless you've already changed the existing ones to your liking in which case you can skip them. The zip is only 28k so its a very quick fix for a problem I know some of you mentioned. http://ul.to/iwikd3k2 Here is a list of the included ini's CPS-3 FB Alpha MAME Mjolnir Model2 Nebula Raine WinKawaks ZiNc Sammy Atomiswave Sega Naomi Atari 2600 Atari 5200 Atari 7800 Atari Jaguar Bally Astrocade Coleco Vision Commodore Amiga CD32 Emerson Arcadia 2001 Fairchild Channel F Fujitsu FM-Towns Marty GCE Vectrex Magnavox Odyssey Magnavox Odyssey 2 Mattel Intellivision Microsoft Xbox NEC PC-FX NEC SuperGrafx NEC TurboGrafx CD NEC TurboGrafx-16 Nintendo GameCube Nintendo N64 Nintendo NES Nintendo SNES Nintendo Wii Sega 32x Sega CD Sega Dreamcast Sega Genesis Sega Master System Sega Saturn SNK Neo-Geo SNK Neo-Geo CD Sony Playstation Sony PlayStation 2 BFM MFME Atari Lynx Bandai WonderSwan Bandai WonderSwan Color Entex Adventure Vision Nintendo DS Nintendo Game Boy Nintendo Game Boy Advance Nintendo Game Boy Color Nintendo Super Game Boy Nintendo Virtual Boy Sega Game Gear SNK Neo-Geo Pocket SNK Neo-Geo Pocket Color Sony PSP Apple IIc Commodore 64 Commodore 128 Commodore Amiga Commodore CBM-II Commodore PET Commodore PLUS4 Commodore VIC20 MGT Sam Coupe Microsoft DOS Microsoft MSX Microsoft Windows ScummVM Sinclair ZX Spectrum Future Pinball Visual Pinball Visual PinMAME I hope this helps any of you with issues.
