WinVice setup - likely gameex error

[stigzler]

OK, think this one's definitely my GameEx going a bit do-lally

Decided to use different roms for my C64 collection. Using TOSEC.

So, had winvice running perfectly on older set. Just pointed it towards the new roms (.zip .d64 format).

POst scanning - GE has picked them up (shows number of items in emulator selection screen)

However, when go into emulator - no games listed at all. + no "No games found" prompt either. Just blank

Also, GameEx crashes frequently now.

Log file attached

Also setup file attached

I know I shouldn't have 7z support ticked btw - just one tinker when ran on duff run

Hope someone can help. Having spent all day trying to get 3 emulators working - I'm ready to kill.

Did you go back through your WinVICE post here?

[stigzler]

Wasn't the same problem, Draco. More about games list showing up in GE. However, once again - for some reaosn working now. I think I'm just having a nightmare day getting all these emulators set up. Thanks for looking at the prob, though

Just a hunch but you may want to delete your cache files and let them rebuild. The log looks a little funky to me in that regard. I am by no means an expert so just going off of a hunch that when it is working OK again (and not the first time) there is something odd occurring on your system with the caching of the emulator setting, etc.

Ah thanks Draco - C64 thing keeps happening intermittently. Also, dragging over files from my old XP build, so wondering if things are getting a little confused....

What does clearing the cache do? Is it risky - will I loose anything? If not - how do you do it?

Thanks

The cache files will rebuild themselves so you won't lose anything other than the time it takes to start rebuilding them (seconds to a few minutes) as you load GameEx and access the emulators through it.

Pretty much delete anything with the word cache in the file name and/or extension in the \gameex\data folder.
