HELP!! Windows 10 clean install - Can't get Gameex/Mame to recognize roms

[tpatrie]

Hi all.. hoping somebody can help me. I have been a Gameex user for ages and I have just recently upgraded a couple of my PCs to Windows 10 and can not get Gameex/Mame working for the life of me... I have a very basic system... really ONLY want to get Mame working for now. I am running the latest version of GameEx (14.35) and Mame64.exe (version 0.164).

It worked fine on my old system.. and I copied all the Gameex files, mame files, roms, etc straight from my working system... but no luck with the new Windows 10 install..

Gameex fires right up and looks great... I go to MAME and then it asks me if I'd like to update the games list... I do this and it takes quite a while (like it usually does), however, when finished, I only have a handful of games setup (the 2 games listed for GOLDEN ERA ARCADE are "Beast Busters" and "Bronx"). I'm guessing these may be free/public domain games that come with GameEx (no other reason I can think that it would pull only these couple files from my directory of thousands of roms)... If I go to a command prompt and just type "mame64.exe puckman" it works fine... but through GameEx, it will not update my games list (Puckman is nowhere to be found).

Any ideas?? I'm wondering if I might be missing some kind of .NET framework required to make this all work? I think I installed it already (It auto-installed the .net framework pack when I installed GameEx).... I have checked and checked and rechecked all my directory paths and can't see the issue... please help me... probably something easy (it usually is), but I am truly stumped this time..

Here is my gameex.ini and my log.txt.... if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated!! Thank you thank you...

GameEx wouldn't run at all if it was something related to the netframework insofar as to what I've experienced..

I could be incorrect here, but it appears that your pointing to MAME64 directories in the GameEx integrated MAME support, and elsewhere as a emulator, as in a slot. The ini doesn't seem to clearly define this, or I'm just missing it.

Be sure you using one, or the other.

Integrated support

Emulator slot config

If you got things configured for both, you need to delete one, the emulator one to be exact unless you specifically want to run MAME64 as an emu.

If that is it, don't forget to update once done making changes!

I cleared out/disabled ALL of the emulator slots and it still is not working... I really don't get it. Gameex works fine, but it won't build the games list.

Here is my new ini file and log...

Any other ideas??? Please help!!

Just saw this the other day, and while it's a bit of a long shot, it's easy enough to try.

In the config wizard set Onlyworking to False
