aliens8us Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have been able to use the emulators (pcsx) for Playstation 1, (fusion) for Genesis, (RockNES) for NES. With MAME however, has been the main issue. I downloaded several versions (process of elimination)0.147 because 0.148 just lead to a black screen. Here's a summary of versions and outcome:0.144 - 0.148 - loads up the pictures and games in the menu fine, but when to play the game, the screen goes black and goes back to the menu.What can be done? Please help me!log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullPointer Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi aliens8us, and welcome to the GameEx forums!Not sure what's happening here, but this command line for starting MAME seems to be a bit out of control:18:20:16.4 1/22/2013: Running: cmd.exe /c C: C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\mame.exe 1941 -rompath C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\roms;C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\roms;C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\roms;C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\roms;C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\roms -nowindow -joy -skip_gameinfo -ctrlr X-Arcade -bezel -artpath artworkgameex I'd likely tag that as the cause of the issue you describe. Perhaps if you wouldn't mind posting a copy of your GameEx.ini we can go a bit further in determining the root cause of this issue. Here's a thread describing how to do that.

nullPointer Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Your ROM path in MAME looks to be the culprit:rompath=C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\roms;C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\roms;C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\roms;C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\roms;C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\romsI'm guessing it should simply be this:C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\PC Games\GameEx Frontend\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Emulators\MAME\romsRemember to rebuild your MAME list from within GameEx each time you make this type of change.Good luck man!
