[RESOLVED] Possible Multiple Mame Sessions in Game Ex?

[rtkiii]

Hello again.

Due to some great advice to by fellow forum goers here I was able to get a MAME version to support High Scores which is great.

But in doing so I had to go from v129 to a newer version and I lost 18 ROMS at the start, which I expected. I noticed I also had duplicates so I ran through my filter settings and cleared and added the missing/duplicate ROMs and I only have about 8 casualties now. Some games I could care less about but one or two I Really want to be able to play from time to time. Instead of learning how to do the ROM update trick I was just going to do a quick fix through Game Ex where I add Mame v129 as a secondary emulator. When I did this though it lists every ROM I have(you the segments and everything) and on top of that...NONE of the games would work. I figured there is something in the "Advanced Emulator Options" I could do for the names but none of the ROMS working in Game Ex when I know they work in v129 is what scares me. I double checked the paths and all look ok. Any quick ideas? Sorry I have no screens as I am at work right now.

Thanks,

Rich

I think I might have figured this out. I was tinkering with the DB option in the emulator setup portion of Game Ex and found I think I can create a separate DB for my v129 I want to use for Dual monitor games and games that do not run on v143. Just going through and testing games and removing ROMS and what not to get a good clean starting DB.
