[RESOLVED] Last played only shows MAME games?

[shanti]

I am not sure if this is a bug, but I've noticed that the "Last Played" list only has MAME games, no other emulators appear on the list, although when I hover over the menu it shows my real last game played.

I've attached 2 screen shots, notice one shows "Blaster Master" which is a NES game, and after I enter the menu, it only shows mame games

anyone else notice that? is there an option for this? or is this how its suppose to be?

Also, it seems all the games (other than MAME) I've played say "Times Payed: N/A" "Last Played: N/A" even if I just played the game

Thanks

This could be one of two things. There is a setting per emulator to show in last played I believe. Otherwise it could be that data\data.db3 is corrupted. You can delete this file and reinistall gameex but you will lose any favorites. If you need further help please post gameex.ini and log.txt

[shanti]

The setting to show last played game is on "Yes" for all of my emulators...

will I loose all my configurations if I delete de data.db3 file? or just the favorites and such ?

edit: never mind, I did it, and it didn't delete my settings, but it also didn't fixed the problem

here is my ini file

[Tom Speirs]

Just favorites and such but please post your log so I can take a look and see if I spot anything else.

here is the ini and the log

the "total plays" don't get updated either

gameex.ini

Looks fine to me. Try restoring data.db3 then.

did it, still the same issue

[Tom Speirs]

OK, ill look into it further later on. Maybe a bug crept in. Do favorites fully work?

[Tom Speirs]

I notice you have BSNES setup as a pc game and that the rom filters contains .7z. Other than that I cant see anything wrong with the ini.

I was moving BSNES settings around to see if I could make it see my roms, but no go, I gave up on BSNES but I haven't removed it from my list, but I don't think that has to do with my problem would it?

favorites work well, its just the last played and the "total plays" that don't get updated at all for "emulated games" and "most played" doens't show them either, but it works for MAME

Could you please zip up and post data.db3?

[Tom Speirs]

Do you have 7z files in your rom folders?

[shanti]

Do you have 7z files in your rom folders?

no .7z files on my "emulated games" rom folders, all of my roms are uncompressed (.nes and .sfc for snes) but my mame set is in .7z merged

attached is my data.db3 and a backup I did before I reinstalled it

DATA.zip

[shanti]

I think I know what the problem is... I opened up data.db3 and notices that it says "3 Ninjas Kick Back (USA).zip" but my roms are all on SFC and it also says "1942 (JU) [!].zip" for the NES ones, but again my roms are uncompressed, but the favorite is correct "1942 (JU) [!].nes" and favorites do work on gameex, so maybe it is looking for a "zip" file and since it doesn't exist on the "map" it doesn't show it?

[shanti]

in fact I am sure that is the problem, if I edit data.db3 and change the .zip to the corresponding names, they games appear on the last played, favorites and times played

[fRequEnCy]

Were your roms always uncompressed or later changed? Also which snes config are u actually running since you have 3 of them? What are the contents of your map files? Maybe the list needs to be rebuilt so that they will reflect on that.

[shanti]

I only use Snes9x and Nestopia, the others I just tested. roms always been uncompressed, except when I was testing, but .map files have the uncompressed roms showing and no .zip in any of them

Please try the attached.

GameEx.zip

Please try the attached.

Works Perfectly!

Could I please ask some folks to let me know if this does not break things if it was already working for you? Thanks.

No problems so far from what I have seen.
