Try fixing this first. Seems GameEx is looking for Model 2 executable file.

Did you enable Model 2 when it was previously disabled? Can you try disabling it within the Setup Wizard and try again?

No didn't touch that? And it isnt selected or an emulator I have ever downloaded?

Apparently the value for it has changed - you will need to locate it within the Setup Wizard (click on Custom, then select Model 2 and the next arrow, change value to No for question "Do you want to use the Model 2 Emulator?" then click next arrow again x 2, click the X to exit and save your settings. Report back if this resolves your issue. If not, provide another copy of your log file.

Also noted that the value for ZINC has also changed to enabled as it appeared on my list even though i have it set up as a separate emulator.

So i have it working. I resolved it by Doing a fresh install as I was getting really wound up with it.

thanks for the help.

Good news! I am glad you were able to resolve the issue!
