[RESOLVED] Not all Mame Roms showing

[jat428]

I recently pulled my arcade out of storage and plugged it in and poof went the hard drive in a cloud of smoke! oh well I had another tower ready to go with a fresh install of xp and so purchased gameex, again, and transfered my roms\mame from my cocktail table to start over. Got the mame list updated but there are quite a few games not showing up in my gameex list. They show up fine in mame and play fine in mame but aren't showing up in Gameex. It's seems like if they work in mame they should work in gameex though! Wasn't trying to hijack this thread but it seemed like it was along the same problem lines! Thanks for any advise

Hi Jat and welcome to the forums. I took the liberty of splitting your post out of the thread in the possible event that your issue was not the same. I would rather deal with one person on one thread for this type of thing as it is often the case that while, on the surface, the issue appears the same, it will likely be a little different.

First, if you wouldn't mind please provide us with a copy of your log.txt and gameex.ini files so we can get started with helping you to resolve your issue. Thanks!

This version of gameex is completely different than the previous two I have used and was having a little trouble with the config screen while viewing from the tv I am using as a monitor. I enabled no verify roms and updated the list and now all the games pop up on the list but again some are still not playable that play fine through standalone mame. I will try and plug a regular monitor in so I can get the log and ini posted here. thanks for the quick response!

Try changing the settings from

OnlyWorking=True
AllowImperfect=True
VerifyRoms=False
OnlyRoms=False

to

OnlyWorking=False
AllowImperfect=True
VerifyRoms=True
OnlyRoms=True

You will likely need to update your list again from within GameEx.
