Draco1962 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Since there are several of you reporting this issue, I will ask that each of you please attach your log.txt and gameex.ini files after making any changes within your system, be it using files submitted by others, reinstalling the latest GameEx version, etc. Thank you.
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 Here is mine. Thank you.log.txtGameEx.ini
Draco1962 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 One other thing, if you are using the built-in MAME support, you will need to Update List each time you make changes to refresh the listing.
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 Yes thank you, I have everytime. Doesn't make a difference.
JmJ17 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 In my case, using DazzleHP files, didn't solve the problem.I've checked again and the problem is solved with DazzleHP's files. I've returned to my files (the most recent availables) and the problem occurs again.
JmJ17 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I've checked all files again and the problem occurs only with history.dat
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 It happens to me whether I use my files his files with or without the history dat.

Adultery Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 If I had the same issue I could help but all my games are here. I verify all my sets and update all my support files when I update my mame exe and my rom sets. I have a feeling either you are unable to verify a particular game and it's crashing the updater out our something is corrupted somewhere, be it a list in your GameEx directory or a chd or rom file
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Everything is fine with Clrmamepro. I replaced all the original support files in GameEx with the files posted here by DazzleHp. I've re-downloaded and installed GameEx several times... If it is corruption why would the others have the same problem ? Just curious.
nullPointer Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Have you verified CHDs with chdman? I would agree that it's odd that several users seem to be experiencing the same problem, but it doesn't seem to be across the board either. It's considerably tougher to troubleshoot the problem for those that can't can't recreate the issue.
Adultery Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Also did you try using a vanilla build? The 32x build? Just for troubleshooting purposes? Maybe it can be isolated to that particular build and or compile/modification.
Adultery Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 What game is right after Carnevil? Did you try adding that to the filter list to see if it's that particular rom that's the problem?
B2K24 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Adultery: Can you access some different machine that does not have a GameEX install on it or set up some VM?If you install a brand new GameEX, grab latest mameinfo and history.dat from official sources and set up official MAME 0.150 then you will encounter the problem described by the OP
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 26, 2013 Author Posted October 26, 2013 Adultery: I verified all chds last night and they are all OK. I also tried mame32 build and mameui 32. Still the same problem.
B2K24 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 It's something in the latest mameinfo or history.dat files which screws up how GameEX builds up the list which is why swapping to different/old version of the DAT files produces a different result.I'm unsure if it's possible to see some debug messages as to why GameEX gets "stuck" when we trigger the carnevil bug
rabidpuppy Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I just happened to do a fresh gameex install with 0.150 (on a PC for testing before putting in cabinet) and had the carnevil bug, and edited the history.dat to fix (thanks for that). What are the other errors need to look for? Something with neo-geo (please explain)?I was hoping .150 to be my go-to version since last updated my cabinet (in 2009).

u-man Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Hello Guys,Yesterday I just tried MAME 0150 for myself. I can say, that I did NOT have the history.dat error. The only Error I did have, was the NEO GEO Error, I can agree with this. The NeoGeo List is empty.But this Error comes either from the catver.ini stuff or some other filtering in GameEx. It must be some bug, that happened between 0149 and 0150 of MAME.
B2K24 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 So right before the 151 release I had 93XX games by using DazzleHP files he posted. I Switched out the mameinfo.dat and updated the list, then I got a small increase in games with the new additions of 151.So then I go to http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=download and grab a fresh 151 then executing another update list with GameEX. I'm stuck with the carnEvil bug again. It's definitely something with the history.dat
u-man Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 I used these attached files and had NO Carnevil problem. This time I can confirm that they are for Version 0150 of MAME .MAME_0150_DATS_INIS.zipJust for my understanding.... all NeoGeo games can be found under Manufactorer SNK or will i miss some NeoGeo games then?

Thank you. Unfortunately I still have the same problem. No games after CarnEvil and nothing in the Neo Geo list.
