[Goron]

Where is gameex.ini?

[Goron]

help me please. I have this crash every time.

[repetto74]

Check into your Gameex folder and look for a file called Gameex with the .INI extension.

[Draco1962]

Before we go down that path it will be imperative that you download and install the latest GameEx version. Your log show you are using version 12.55. The latest is version 13.10. It is possible that installing the latest version will resolve your errors. Please do so before going any further. Thanks!

[Goron]

I lost all my work?

[Draco1962]

Are you asking if you will lose it or telling that you did?

If asking, then the answer is no. The install will detect the current installation and update those files that need to be updated. All of your emulator settings, etc., will remain. It may be a good idea, however, to back up the contents of your GameEx folder elsewhere so that you have them safe.

[Goron]

i install new version but the problem persist. After 10 minutes of mame the system crashes wih this error message:

What's going on at the time of this error? Your log makes it look like your machine is in attract mode at the time, but it would be good to verify that. Also we still need to have a look at your GameEx.ini.

Are you running any non-standard codecs on your machine? Are your video card drivers up to date (always best to check this through the manufacturer of your video card). Do you have DirectX up to date on this machine?

The more detail you can provide, the more likely we will be able to provide useful information regarding the nature of your error. Thanks man!

[Goron]

Please help me... Sometimes gameex crash...

[hansolo77]

It looks like DirectX is crashing when trying to draw GameEx after you exit MAME. I've had this happen to me a few times. Are you trying to run GameEx windowed and MAME full screen, or vice versa? I've found that this kind of error goes away when you're using either both full screen or both windowed, but not mixed. You can go full screen / windowed by pressing [ALT]+[ENTER].

Something else you could try is making sure you have the latest drivers for your video card, and the latest updates to DirectX. Check those things out and then report back.

[Goron]

Gameex and mame run in full screen... The video card and direct x are update at last version...

Hi Goron

It would help if you can confirm that this error seems specifically related to attract mode (as your log seems to indicate). Does MAME run well when not running in attract mode?

Based on the text of your error message I turned up two results within the forums, and both of them were related to attract mode:

One was resolved by acquiring a new copy of MAME:
Attract video problem?

And the other one seems to be an issue related to Joystick Input settings:
Gameex crashes after attaching gamepads, attract mode root cause?

I'd take a look at both of those threads to determine if your issue is similar (I'd be more ineterested to know if it's related to your Joystick Input settings, as that seems to be a pretty close match to the settings you posted here. On the other hand a new copy of MAME certainly wouldn't hurt either).

Thanks and Good Luck!

[Goron]

Yesterday i set xbox 360 controller... This is the cause?

[nullPointer]

According to the second link I posted in my previous post, this was the cause of his problem (where the error was identical to yours):

EnableCustomJoyInput=True

So I guess I'd take a look at that first. If that doesn't work I'd "reinstall" MAME which essentially means that you get a new copy of MAME and try that out (as suggested in the first link I posted above).

Edit:

Also you've never answered whether this problem seems to be related to Attract Mode. That information would be helpful.

[Draco1962]

Tom just updated to 13.11 that fixes the fullscreen in a window. Please install this latest version and report back. Thanks!

[Goron]

What is attract mode?

[Goron]

The problem persist... I update gameex, mame but the system crash after 20 seconds when i start to play mame game...

It' s terrible...

[Tom Speirs]

Just a thought, I wonder if one of your controls in MAME is conflicting with the in game key in GameEx. This brings up the game info page while MAME is running. Check that setting under input settings and set it to something not used.

[Tom Speirs]

also please post the log with the latest GameEx. The version you were using is quite old.

[Goron]

Excuse me Tom... I'm italian user and I did not understand what to do to solve the problem ... What comes into conflict? which settings should I change?

[Tom Speirs]

"Setup Wizard" - "Input Settings" - "In Game Key"

Also please post your log now you are using the latest GameEx version.
