sergio1968 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 hello everyone, I'm sorry but it certainly is a discussion already opened in another topics. I have a problem with the settings of mame and in particular in the recognition of roms. in practice they are not present in the list of all roms GameEx. I own the romset 0.153 that was controlled with clrmamepro. I have used most versions of mame all in 64-bit version MameUI, mameplus, mame, mameuifx. all data files have been updated to the latest versions on the net. in the advanced settings of mame, I was turned on viewing all the roms (roms clones, imperfect games, casino games, mayhong games, adult games). at each change of configuration was executed scaning of the list of rom. but nothing to make the game list is not complete: the list stops at letter C and precisely to CarnEvil rom (1.0.1) also chd stop at the letter C. Who can help me? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi Sergio. Are you using the integrated MAME support within GameEx? Did you "Update List?" at the end of the MAME menu while GameEx was running? Whenever reporting a possible GameEx bug or error, please you submit a copy of your log.txt and gameex.ini file so we may quickly assist you. Refer to this link for additional information.

Draco1962 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Not sure what is going on with your setup, but to look at the time/date stamps, you are from the future, my friend! You may want to get the time/date set correctly on your PC.Also, you are running MAME from C:\Users\sergio\Desktop\mame\. I am not certain if that is going to be an issue or not, but could we be hitting against a rights issue? Running from C:\WHATEVER FODLER NAME YOU PREFER\ is usually recommended.

nullPointer Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Back on topic this problem sounds similar nay identical to the problem described here. In that case it was necessary for Tom to address the issue. I'm wondering if maybe we had some weird regression occurring here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u-man Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 i think we had this problem allready. as i remember it doesnt had to do with GameEx. I think the history-file was bad formatted. there was some semicolon error in some of the history-data. i would try one from another source. i didnt have that problem anymore, but i am sad that i cannot contribute the right file right now. as my newest setup is on the wee-cade of my girlfriend . maybe someone else, have the right history-data-file.PS: ooh, i have seen that nullPointer allready has pointed to that thread... .... smooth operator he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I stand corrected.. totally neglected the DD-MM-YYYY format. I believe an old bug may have creeped back in, or at least one very similar.@Sergio1968 - I am flagging this topic for Tom's attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzleHP Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I stand corrected.. totally neglected the DD-MM-YYYY format. I believe an old bug may have creeped back in, or at least one very similar.@Sergio1968 - I am flagging this topic for Tom's attention. The CarnEvil bug is indeed back. Snip from 0.153 history.dat:Jacob and Lisa take 2 [shotgun|shotgun's] from the shooting galleryThe | character is what seems to halt it. I've attached a new history.dat for you to try. Last time it worked for some and not for others so maybe there is more to it.history_0.153_fixed.zipPS: Yes we do dates backwards to you folks in the States 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazzleHP Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 No problem I've uploaded it to the download section as we had a surge of people with this problem last time and it may get lost in the forum if it happens again. You can find it HERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio1968 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 hello Unfortunately, I always have a problem with mame, that is not shown the full list of games. When I use UI Mameplus my list of games is 29110. In GameEx my list is 6149 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adultery Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 So whats probably happening here is GameEx is verifying your games and they aren't passing the check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio1968 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 hello I tried again GameEx with mame plus.I use the settings suggested by DazzleHP excluding Existing Only set = no. I deleted the path of extra files (mameinfo, commanddat, controlini, etc ...). GameEx list 11400 games. outside of GameEx, Mameplus detect 29110 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullPointer Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Does the MAME Plus count include all the mechanical games and whatnot? (i.e. whack a mole, slot machines pinball machines, etc.) GameEx will filter all those games out by default since they will never be playable in MAME without major changes to the emulation.
