Hi eckimo,

If you don't mind, could you describe the problem you're experiencing? Also would you mind posting a copy of your GameEx.ini? In addition to the log you already posted the additional information will go along way towards helping us to troubleshoot your issue.

Thanks!

Sorry. When I сlick 'Play this Game', for a five seconds show a black screen, then I returned again in GameEx.

GameEx.ini

Troubleshoot using the runitgame.bat file created by GameEx using step 4B in the How To Ask For Help pinned topic. This will show the command-line screen and provide some useful information why MAME is not launching.

Mame.exe watrball -rompath "D:\GameEx\EMU\MAME\roms" -joy -skip_gameinfo -volume -32 -bezel -artpath artworkgameex

CD "D:\GameEx\EMU\MAME"

Mame.exe watrball -rompath "D:\GameEx\EMU\MAME\roms" -joy -skip_gameinfo -volume -32 -bezel -artpath artworkgameex

That's step 4A. Please follow instructions on 4B and post the results.

I made all of your advice, but still can not do anything ...

[fRequEnCy]

Looks like roms are missing for whatever it is you're trying to run. Please verify your roms and also verify rom path.

Maybe I must to Unzip roms ?

Maybe I must to Unzip roms ?

No. That is not required. Perhaps your romset doesn't match your MAME version?

Meet in chat room for real-time support.

I update game list and everything is working. Thank you.

Glad that got sorted out and you're able to enjoy playing. Have fun! Can be marked as resolved by either yourself or by a mod.
