Yeah but seems like ti would be a simple fix (well at least for somebody) as I can make the karaoke function work by just simply double clicking the .cdg song file. outside of GameEx. I am not sure how GameEx actually plays the file. 

You know I wonder. I noticed that anytime I play the .cdg file outside GameEx that it does work but no matter what it goes into a small window not fullscreen.  There is no simple setting to make it start fullscreen and it does not remember the last state it was in. I have dome some research and their maybe a registry change that can be made to make this happen. Would going into windowed instead of fullscreen possibly stop GameEx from completely swapping over to the karaoke screen and just return back to GameEX?

 

I have not had the chance to do the registry change as of yet but here is the procedure. (SInce I have yet to do this anyone who does must do so at their on risk.)

I don't think that the screen size in WMP has anything to do with it, to be honest. I have opened the .cdg files in VLC Player and Groove with no problems.

Posting my log.txt file for Tom or anyone else to look at. I can get the karaoke files to load and play the music, just not the preview videos. I noticed in the log that it states Loading Karaoke Cache  - where is the cache? I was unable to locate any cache for karaoke, or find any karaoke video files.

Draco, You log says it couldn't open any karaoke video files but you say it still works in GameEx? 

I noticed in my log that I have Win10 home 64 and you have Pro 64 do not know if that has any bearing on it.

Also noticed that mine says No karaoke cache and yours says Laoding Karaoke cache.

Some oddness going on here. This may not get resolved unless Tom is able to help figure it out.

Ok I came up with a round about solution for my problem. Instead of using the karaoke option in the GameEx wizard I set it up as an emulator using [PC] Microsoft Windows as the chosen emulator. I skipped the download emulator query as I just wanted to have a emulator slot for karaoke. on the emulator setup I renamed everything to Karaoke. I pointed both the working path and rom path to the folder where all my .cdg and mp3 karaoke files are stored. I then used *.cdg as the rom filter. The command line is "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"  The rest of this section I left as is. I then moved to the advanced emulator setup. In order to make the karaoke(windows media player) fullscreen I had to put 2000 in the wait before keys box then %{enter} in the keys to send box. Since this uses a {alt+F4} method to exit I also had to choose Mapping off Exit (ALT+F4) in the advanced config box then make sure the enable escape key exit is yes in the input settings of the wizard.

using this method give me much more control over setup of Karaoke

also if you want the song to just play when clicked instead of going to the info screen first just say yes in disable info page in the adv emu setup area.

I would also like to note that KaraokeDX was still needed for Karaoke files to work in Windows Media Player. You know you have it installed properly when you can just double click on a *.cdg karaoke file and windows media player plays the karaoke song with words. (Both the .cdg and mp3 file is needed for Karaoke)

No video previews but I would rather have the karaoke feature work than the previews at least in my case. I dont think a video preview is to big a deal however you could use snaps of the band/singers Logo or even a pic of the album or both and just drop in the snap and box folders. Actually I think I would like that more than a video preview. I believe just talked myself into doing just that!
