[BUG] GameExtender

[Adultery]

Tom:

Is GameExtender supposed to not do anything in Attract Mode or did something get bugged up along the way? Shouldn't it display the art for whatever is running? I always run MAME in attract mode when the cab's not being used, and MAME is set to show title screens by game, but it's not. If I played SNES last, then Gameextender just stays on whatever SNES displayed before it started (in my case its the SNES controls screen), which makes me worry about burn-in. Maybe it's always been like that and I just never noticed? I recently went back to single screen MAME and used mameemumap to set the 2-screen switch for games that need it, so it's really been a while since I noticed it during attract mode... Maybe... Am I crazy?

Please advise.

I don't use GameExtender myself, since I only have one display. But you raise an interesting point of something I've wanted to point out to you for awhile.. It seems your GameEx GameTag isn't updating either. For the longest time, it was stuck on SNES/Super Mario. I thought perhaps you were just addictively playing it, but it's possible your GameExtender is getting conficted. Especially now since you notice your MAME is still displaying a SNES screen on the Extender...

Actually it spends more time in Attract Mode then I spend playing it! Lol!

My can is always running GameEx, but I normally only play out like once a month if even.
