Small bug

[headkaze]

I've found a strange bug, when I go to the standard list of Mame games it keeps jumping to the first letter of the alphabet and will skip games that start with a number. I remember someone else here mentioning a similar problem. It dosn't matter what is the last game you played or selected it will always jump to the first 'A' game in the list.

This bug is still in the latest release, and I've since found out the location in the list it jumps to can be random, not just as explained in my first post. What I mean by jump is the starting location of the green selection bar when the list is first displayed. It should be at the start of the list right?

Another small bug I found today was when I pressed a key to exit attract mode, it brought me back to the main menu, but the images on the top left corner which say MAME, Mame original etc. are supposed to have the black background "colour keyed" out when blitting. But the backgrounds were black (non-transparent). I went into a menu and exited back out from it and then they were correctly using the colour key. Small bug again, but I guess worth reporting.

Found another small bug. This one seems to be after returning from attract mode. I am returns to the main menu, where I select All MAME Games which brings me to a screen of a selected game but I didn't select one. Then I pressed the back key which brought up the same "selected game" screen. Then I press back key again and I am back at the main menu.

The attract mode related bugs should be fixed in 5.39, uploading now.

Not sure about the blitting issue, maybe a freak conflict.

The gamelist issue, could be caused by the mouse initialising when DirectX inits and selecting a game.

Still have the bug from my first post. This is how I tested...

1. Installed GameEx 5.40, launched GameEx

2. Selected "All MAME Games"

3. Hilight bar is selecting 6th game down the list

4. Select game at top of list, start game, exit

5. Exit back to main menu

6. Select "All MAME Games" again

7. Hilight bar starts at 6th game again

I can repeat this over and over and get the same result, apart from which game is selected each time. It seems to change each launch of GameEx, but each session will select the same game on the list. VERY strange.

Blit issue seems to be solved, although I will keep testing tonight.

Not sure about the other issue, I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for your prompt response to these albeit small but annoying bugs. Cheers
