Hi there,

first of all... GREAT job! GameEx is absolutly awesome! :)

i´am totaly new to GameEx and Mame, i basicly came from the Pinball Community but i got one dedicated Pac-Man Arcade Cabinet and actually i just want to build a universal cab with all the Arcade Classix on it.

So i took a old PC (Athlon X2 4000+, 2GB Ram, 320GB HDD, 8500GT Gfx), installed Windows XP SP3, applied all(!) Updates, installed Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0, installed MameUIFX32 0.140 and the lates GameEx 12.09.

Everthing works out fine, but i get an error every aprox. 3 Minutes idle. Or sometimes when i just browse thru the gamelist, or just want to start a game. I absolutly can reproduce this when refrshing the Mame Gamelist ... maybe i take a Stopwatch next time and see how long it exactly take until this error show up.

It is a framework Window... i can click "weiter" so GameEx will go on without any issue, but it stops until i press that button? How can i solve this Problem or get even rid of this damn Window ... GameEx seems to work fine after i closed that error window.

i reinstalled GameEx, no change

i looked up for updates @ windows update Page ... no more updates :(

whats next?

As i said i can reproduce this when i start Gameex with the -listupdate string... here is an example:

Here is a screenshot of the error:

This is a tough one for me. I've never had that kind of problem. Somebody with a little more .net knowledge might be a bit more helpful. Here's a few things I think that might help though...

i can reproduce this when i start Gameex with the -listupdate string

Why are you running this command line? You should be able to just launch GameEx directly. It looks like it updates the MAME database just fine. If you need to update the list in the future, you can do it directly from within GameEx (if you have the option enabled in the setup wizard).

(taken from the GameEx log) 12:42:24.0 09.09.2011: Cannot Load Play List. Check Path and filename

Are you using a Custom Menu layout? I think this error in the log is reporting you don't have any game lists. If you're just using MAME right now, you need to make sure you have it setup to display on the Start Page. If you're using Custom Menu's, you need to make sure you have it setup properlly there as well. This might be what's hanging you up too.

(taken from the first line of the error log) Informationen über das Aufrufen von JIT-Debuggen

I believe the JIT-Debugger is actually from JAVA isn't it? Are you sure you have the latest version of Java installed? You mentioned you have the latest version of .net, but I would check JAVA too, just to be safe.

Hope this helps a little. Again, I'm not proficient in these types of errors. I would start with those suggestions I made, and go from there. If I got that kind of error, that's where I would start. Then I would post here, like you did, and hope somebody else can help.

Good Luck! And welcome to the forum!

JIT debugger is not Java or Java dependent so I would not be concerned with updating Java unless it is needed. Also, the "Cannot load playlist" has nothing to do with Custom Menus. This is likely a MAME-generated error and I would recommend checking in MAME options to verify that the directories for snaps, ROMS, etc. are set correctly.

hi there,

thanks for your reply.

Java is not installed on the Mashine and as far as there is no reason to do so, i would apriciate to not install Java :)

I will check the paths as soon as i can and will tell you if it solved my problem.

thanks again, great support! :)

i used -listupdate because the error appears every time i update the list, in all other cases i can not 100% reproduce this issue so i took the -listupdate option to enforce the error.

greetings, Fabian

Hi there again :)

- i just cleared out every "not found" and "cannot load" i found in the logfile ... no change

- i deinstalled .net Framework4 ... no change

next step will bei deinstalling all .net Frameworks and reinstall them

only .net Framework 2 is really needed, isnt it so?

//edit: i just deinstalled every framework except 2.0 ... no change

//next step i will reinstall framework 2.0 and try a slightly (12.06) older version of GameEx :/ ... realy anoying :(

Here is the acutal log, i made a note where the error occurs, because nothing happens there, regarding to the log...

Have you verified that the paths are setup correctly within MAMEUIFX? Also, keep in mind that this is a derivative of the official MAME build and we cannot guarantee that there will be 100% compatible with GameEx. Is there any specific reason for using MAMEUIFX rather than one of the official MAME builds? It might be worthwhile to install one of the offical builds that is compatible with your ROM versions and see if you generate the same errors that you are getting using MAMEUIFX.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

next step could be to test with completly other hardware (intel) to rule the hardware out...

So you've just learned what kind of nice person Tom is, always caring about users' issues where other users or admins can't help.

Enjoy the software!

I'm glad you got it fixed. Sorry my original suggestions didn't really mean anything, and didn't help at all. As I said, I don't know anything about .net, and never encountered that error before. I'm glad it was a simple fix, and Tom is the greatest at smashing pesky bugs like this. Enjoy!
