Hi to all, I've formatted my pc and reinstalled GameEx with all my emulators. There is a weird thing that happens... Some games in Mame emulator, show their snap and video previews for a very brief instant and then they disappear. I've installed any sort of codec, 32 and 64 bit. However the games run correctly. I've checked in my snap an video folders for verifying if the files of "corrupted" games are in same way different from the other, but i don't see any difference. Before the formatting all worked fine... (or almost).

Is it a known problem?

Already done. (even without deinstall previous codecs, but i don't think it makes difference in this case because it went all ok before the formatting in which i didn't install the shark's codec...)

Also done the clean installation of shark's codecs (deinstalling previos codecs). Same result.

The curious thing is that when i enter in the game screen i can't see neither the snap, nor the marquee, nor the flyer, ecc. They appear for a millisecond and then disappear...

I found out that it happens with the games with the 3D cabinet file! There is some particular requirement for this feature?

Good job in narrowing it down to games that have a 3D cab file.

In that case, and because you have just done a OS re-install, a few reminders:

Is your DirectX up to date?

Are your GPU drivers up to date?

And do you have the necessary .NET Frameworks installed?

DirectX (9c) and GPU drivers (geforce 9500) are updated.

Don't GameEx itself install the necessary Net Frameworks?

I have to download and install a particular version of NF?

Other update: I've "eliminated" 3D cabinet and now i can see the snap and video preview of the "incriminated" games. But, and i'm pretty sure that the problems are correlated, in the screen of a mame singular game i can't enlarge the marquee, or the snap, or the control panel, ecc.

However i've installed the NET frameworks 4.5 also...

Error report if I try to enlarge an artwork file:

Hmmm curious.

Would you mind posting some of your PC specs? Like OS, GPU, CPU etc. Admittedly i'm not an expert in this kind of thing but your specs may help in finding a cause.

You can confirm that the same thing does not happen with games that do not and never did have a 3D cab file? You can enlarge the media of these games?

On a side note, have you performed an "Update List" since you made any MAME changes?

My pc is: W7 64bit, Dual core 3 GHz, 4gb ram, GeForce 9500 gt, 320 gb HD.

It happens with all game, not only those with the 3D cabinet. Happens even with the non-MAME games. Simply i can't enlarge any media. If i try two or three times i get a crash and the error as above.

Finally! I've found the solution (i was very close to madness!! DirectX, Framework, C++, everything!).


It all depended on the depth of monitor colours. I have set on 16 bit instead 32 bit.... With 32 bit no problem. Actually I would need to keep 16 bit colours because the compatibility with some TTX games.


Could Tom fix this thing if not too complicate?


Well, how can i add to the title of the thread a RESOLVED mark?


Thanks DazzleHP!

Wow, nice detective work kannadav!

There is a setting found on the Display Settings page of the Setup Wizard which will allow you to specify the use of 16 Bit Color. I've never tried it out, but you might experiment with setting Use 16 Bit Colour to Yes to see if that addresses your needs.

Yeah, like I said, I've never had a need to use that setting so I really don't know much about it. If it doesn't work as intended this issue may constitute a bug report. Having said that it would be good to know if your video drivers are up to date before we get carried away. ;)

Yes, video drivers are updated.
