Color of Games changes on its Own

[starbuck]

I have a large number of emulated systems in GameEx. I use map files for my game lists. This way all the media that I have collected shows up for all the games available for each system. I store all my games on removeable drives. On my cab I own have 3 to 10 favorite games actually available for each system. I have edited the map file and for the ones that are avaiable I have colored yellow. My cab users get to see all the games for a system and they know that the only playable games are the ones in yellow.

In the first snap you see the game list with the top three games in yellow. These are the ones that are playable.I make my map files using map magician using clrmame pro dat files. I then edit the files manually for the ones I have available. I would like the colored games to be in the list alph so that a user has to scroll thru the list to find the games available. That way they get to see some of the great games available for each system.

My problem is when I first open GameEx the list shows up as in the first snap. After I play a game and go back to the list the colors are gone. See snap two. The only way to get the colors back is to exit Gameex and reload.

Any idea what is happening.

Simple enough to fix. It shouldn't be long.

Thanks Adultry,

Trying to make those changes you suggested for the loading screens, but not making much headway. Figure once I get the templete I uploaded looking right, I should be able to add the graphics.

I'll pass you the layer if you like...

Sounds good Adultry.
