Tom Speirs Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Oh, just the logos. lol Yeah it really is pretty fantastic of you. The reason I am so pleased is because of Evo as it should support them so well Not that I don't believe where they are elsewhere is awesome and great value but it means we can provide them to the user base in house. Again, its epic Thanks Draco, Stizgler and the rest of the crew too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sorry if I am being stupid but that is all your work though, yes? Just need to make sure we have permission. Sorry, it just seems a bit too good to be true. I hope it is though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightgaunt98 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 A good chunk of them, yes. This was back when I first got my cab and thought I would take the completist approach. (changed my mind on that one!) Do a google search for "[rom name] logo png". there you go. There were quite a few I could not find so had to use a flyer or marquee and photoshopped the holy hell out of it. And there is a chunk that I later got from various other sources, some from HS, to fill the gaps. So no. I cannot take full credit on the actual creation on all of these. BUT. If you take the time and effort to search on google individually and then name match them all, you can get them on the interwebs. Or at least fodder to work with. Yeah, it's a bit of work... Not something I think I would like to do again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Okay thanks. Sorry if I am being holy about it but I need to make sure I am not ripping off HS. I am just an ethical guy. Cheers. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerbrad Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Got a chance to try a few more scenarios using the EXE you posted earlier in this thread. I also attached nestopia.xml, and the results of a dxdiag on my system. Single Display: Games launch to black screen. NEStopia states "No valid display adapter". Single Display with GameExtender Disabled: Games launch to black screen. NEStopia states "No valid display adapter". GameEx in Windowed Mode: IT WORKED! (I did, however, get an error message when I Alt-Enter'd into windowed mode. I restarted GameEx in windowed mode with no errors, and verified that it still worked.) Dual Display/GameExtender On/Vanilla MAME without RocketLauncher: Games launch to black screen. When I Ctrl-Alt-Delete'd and opened Task Manager, I was able to open the CMD window, and noticed that MAME threw a "Unable to initialize Direct3D" error. log MAME_noRL.txt log SingleDIsplay.txt log SingleDisplay_GameExtenderOff.txt log Windowed.txt nestopia.xml DxDiag.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerbrad Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I also managed to launch into my games by turning on "Use 16-bit colour" in the Tweaks/Performance section... log.txt GameEx.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochabian Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Same thing for me here with Kega and latest update. If "Use 16-bit color" is turned on in Gameex Setup Wizard, it works. Strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerbrad Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Grasping at straws here... But I notice this line showing a negative available texture memory in all of my log files... Is video memory being incorrectly calculated and somehow causing display issues on game launch? My GTX 750 has 1GB of memory for what it's worth...

millerbrad Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 4 hours ago, Tom Speirs said: Thanks for all your help. Here is another update to try. GameEx.zip Still no luck. Set my GameEx graphics back to 32bit and tried NEStopia and MAME. Still launches to a black screen. If I Ctrl-Alt-Delete & choose Task Manager on of NEStopia black screen, "No valid display adapter". If I Ctrl-Alt-Delete quick enough & choose Task Manager on a MAME black screen, it loads (like it did in the attached log). This is the same behavior I've been seeing. If I'm slow on the Ctrl-Alt-Delete, MAME gives up and doesn't run the game, and I stay stuck on the black screen (I can't see it behind the black screen, but I'm assuming MAME fires the "Unable to initialize Direct3D" error I noticed this morning and closes the CMD window) Also on this .EXE, GameEx crashes when I try to open it in 16bit mode. log32bitGFX.txt log16bit.txt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Its certainly not effecting everyone as it works swimmingly for me. Are you running MAME in DirectDraw mode? I wonder if it is something to do with DirectDraw emulation in windows 10. Here is another one to try. GameEx.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 I tried on my pincab that has got a 650 in it. Again, it works perfectly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerbrad Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm using Direct3D in MAME. I'm stumped, too. Maybe a Windows Update isn't agreeing with it (it's completely up to date). Maybe it didn't like my GameEx theme (there are a few unused elements positioned outside the viewable bounds). I'd say it's video card related, but it looks like EvilForces is using Intel graphics and he's having the same problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaga on a full size playfield is pure insanity. Dig it. Difficult to play with flipper buttons, but damn it sure is cool looking... I was popping back in here to report that I was also having issues with the black screen of doom. When I was testing it initially with the first update, I did not have Gameex in fullscreen while I was troubleshooting something else. While trying to recreate what was happening to millerbrad, I threw Gameex in fullscreen. And there it was. Strange thing is that it was intermittent and random. Sometimes it would happen, sometimes it wouldn't. I can 100% confirm that the latest Gameex.exe you posted above has fixed it on my end in fullscreen. I have been loading games through it for awhile now just to make sure. The ONLY thing I noticed is that while Gameex is fading out and the title logos are shrinking, the animation hangs for a second or two. Not a big deal, but thought I would mention as it may assist in narrowing it down. Sorry I couldn't be of any help Mr. Millerbrand :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI that 16bit mode does still crash with this EXE on my cab. GameEx opens with all of the menus in place and the progress bar animating in the foreground, then the menu jumps forward and tries to zoom out. As soon as it attempts that zoom, it crashes. I'll try to capture it and post it on YouTube to show you what I mean.
