OverPower89 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 So I was just doing a fresh install of gameex and when I go though the mame options of the setup wizard everything seems to be in place (files and folder paths etc.) but when I update the new mame game list I get a whopping 31 games....I've installed gameex many of times.. never have I had this problem.I'm running mame 0.149 and I know the roms are there but I don't know why it won't display the full list.Thanks in advance for your time.GameEx.ini
Draco1962 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 You may want to provide us with your log.txt file as well. Also, can you note where in your list it is stopping? Thanks!
OverPower89 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 my mame gamelist starts from the letter "S" and stops at "X" for a total of 31 games I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but I still get the same resultlog.txt
Evilforces Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Have your computer a touch panel?Have you this option active on your GameEx setup? If so, please try to deactivate it and refresh the games list. Disable also the "TouchScreen Only Compatible Games" option too.
OverPower89 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 Just did what you mentioned it did not change much my gamelist went from 31 to 38 games.same mame setup I've used for awhile now nothings changed.
Evilforces Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Have you some filters enabled? If so, try to disable and update the list. Make sure to disable the "verify roms" option on GameEx setup and refresh the list.
OverPower89 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 tried that game list is up to 48 though...screen shot of my updated gamelist is below if that could help any.
Evilforces Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I can't see nothing on the screen shot you post... sorry.Can you please post a new log and gameex.ini after the changes you did?
OverPower89 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 hope this helps.just odd game list starts out at "005" jumps into street fighter.currently only displaying 185 games out of the complete 0.149 rom set i'd say it's a few off still.GameEx.inilog.txt
Evilforces Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Please, disable the "Compatible games only" on the touch screen / tablet settings only to make sure this is not the option that make your list short....And of course, after complete the GameEx setup, refresh the list.I see you have the touch screen disabled, but the option of compatible games only on this setup is enabled. Please, try this and refresh.
OverPower89 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 still no result. just odd worked yesterday when I tried it out on win7 but went to the win8 route cause I couldn't use my vgaarcade vid card from ultimarc cause of unsigned drivers.
Evilforces Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Please, try to activate the "run as admin" option on the GameEx executable, and comment if any change on the list. Refresh.
OverPower89 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 Yeah tried that just now and some different compatibility modes.Still not working properly.
Evilforces Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Ok let's go to try:Try setting the only working games to false in the set up wizard also set remove duplicates to "No", and update the list....EDIT: Please, update the list on your MameUI frontend before you update the list inside GameEx
OverPower89 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 still got nothing.and I tried that on mameui earlier
Evilforces Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I'm using this Mameui frontend for my setup: http://mame32fx.altervista.org/home.htmI don't know if you are using the same, but if you want to make a try with this.... It's possible your mameui are not making a correct xml list of your games....
OverPower89 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 found a way around this. I Uninstalled gameex and found a older version updated my list and now I have over 3500 games. but when I updated gameex to the new version they were still there and working so j updated the list to see what would happen. and it went back down to 38 games. so u suspect it must be some sort of gameex error.I'm just gonna repeat what I just did only not update the list at the end
OverPower89 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 yes at one point till I started tinkering but even with it on only had 31 games displayed on my mame list
greatflash Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I had the same problem a couple of months ago. Not sure if this is relevant but I then grabbed all the mame support files like MameInfo.dat etc and placed them in the mame directory and updated the list. All the games returned. It could just be fluke. But may be worth a try? 1

I have a feeling/hunch that these things are getting mixed 'n' matched on a disastrous scale, going by the posts we've been having lately. 1
Tom Speirs Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 It might be because of the changes required for MAME 0.162. I will try to test with .149 shortly.
Tom Speirs Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I was able to duplicate the issue I am looking at it.
Tom Speirs Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Its fixed and I attach an updated exe.I will get youtube fixed then do a full release.GameEx.zip 2
