Also, please see if the attached is stable.

Any more info such as screenshots of the crash would be helpful too.

Hi Tom.. i have replace the gameex.exe with your attachment and take a video from start gameex up to the crash.. here is the youtube-link: http://youtu.be/cm5GpbCJQk4

the crash is at 05:40 minutes.. the video shows switching between the menus, start a game and back to the menu.. also shows the 2nd monitor.. here you can see the missing picture on the left side.. (please make for future releases a bigger fontsize in the gameextender in the downright field). and please see that the loading time are long for the 3d models of Emulator Gamecube and GBA

Thanks for the video. Can you click debug after the crash and see if you can get any more info. Thanks.

Can you also try the things I suggested to try and narrow it down. What version did this issue start happening?

sorry Tom.. i have not a JIT-Debugger for more information

[Tom Speirs]

Please try turning off the Jukebox, GameExtender and the plugins to try and narrow down the problem. It may well be a plugin that is causing the crash or a corrupt file.

this doesn't help.. :-/ all plugins was disabled and jukebox also.. and gameex crashes at scrolling the mame game list..

I think that the crashes began since 12.38

What about GameExtender? This sounds like a codec issue. When did you last update or install Codecs or anything related such as DVD software or media servers?

Sorry, that will be fixed for the next release.

[Tom Speirs]

Was it GameExtender or was it a codec issue?

[flocke28]

Was it GameExtender or was it a codec issue?

i think it is the GameExtender.. without Gameextender Gameex works well

[Tom Speirs]

Id try changing the GameExtender image not found to a png or jpg file. Bitmaps are not supported.

[Tom Speirs]

I'm a bit puzzled by this but see if the attached is any better.

This release crashs also.. Please have a look on the gameextender. I think this is the reason for crashs.. And that the Screenshot from the gameex menu are not showing must be also a issue from the extender

[Tom Speirs]

I have been looking at GameExtener. The screenshot currently does not work on vista or win 7 systems due to Direct3D/Aero. I really need more to go on before I can fix this. I don't want to put you out but if you can install Visual Studio I may be able to get some more debugging info.

Mmh.. In previous releases has the extender shows all Information including an actually screenshot from mainscreen.. And the System runs from begin on win7 x64..

Ah.. I found the reason.. On the gameex icon i Open the options and enable the option "disable Desktop composition". Now. The screenshots Works well again.. but gameex crashs again after few minutes..

and some lcd registry entrys doesn't clear after change the menu.. look at the pictures.. mainmenu, all mame games, at open this list is the 1st game selected and then back to the mainmenu.. now you see that alon the upper 2 lines are changed.. the under 2 lines shows an old entry

[Tom Speirs]

Try turning off Aero. I think you can do this by setting the the theme to basic.

Im aware of the LCD. It changes on a timer.

OK, MDS files were not supported. They should be now.

Nice! Now I can stop converting my Dreamcast games (about half of them are MDS)! Very cool!!!!

[Adultery]

I have been looking at GameExtender.

What do you mean by this Tom? You planning on some improvements?

It was in reply, I was working on a bug.

[Adultery]

Oh. I was thinking video support might be coming.
