GoodMerge Bug? Works on First Rom only

[alexandro98]

Hi ya,

I have a problem I cant seem to resolve. I did a search for GoodMerge and 7-zip and cant find anyone who has similar problems.

Ok.

When I set up a console emulator for GoodMerge support, then I start GameEx and go to the emulator and I can then chose any Game and see all the versions in it. Then If I leave that screen and chose a nother Game, I dont see any Roms.

It dont seem to matter what game I chose as first, then back out of then chose next. It only works for the first game I chose.

Any one have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Ill have a look at this. Is it just when youve finished launching a game in a partiular set and then select another game in the set?. I mean if you go back to the start page in GameEx, then select the emu then a set, does it work?

Heya Tom. Definately a bug (or something shady going on) with GoodMerge. Help! My ROMs are in a state of not-working-nes!

Here's what happens:

I select a ROM (let's use 10 Yard Fight as an example)

On the selection screen, I can see all the ROM sets. I select one and play it - works just great.

After playing, I hit escape to return to the game screen - the ROM sets are no longer listed there. The Directories are all there, but it's like there are no ROMs in them. Bummer.

I select other ROM sets, they're gone. Just the selection screen with no links to anything playable. Bummerx2.

I restart GameEx, head back to the ROM list - STILL nothing selectable! (Not even in 10 yard fight mind you! Bummer x3!)

I delete the 'unzipped7z' folder GameEx puts in my ROM directory and... Boom! I can select a game! But, yet again, the first game directory I look at will be my last, since you only have one chance to click a game before everything disappears.

Something's definately amiss here. Hopefully you can fix that really soon since I spent all week GoodMerging my ROMs (the benefit is too great not to use GoodMerge! It only makes sense!)

And, since you're (hopefully) fixing that problem...

Can you remove the alphabetizing option for GoodMerge ROMs? The front end lists the ROMs in a certain way (for me, it's USA, England, English) and alphabetizing renders that option useless although it's quite handy.

Thanks for all your help, and I hope I didn't force you to work too hard.

Not sure what I did but your welcome! So might still be an issue there. I believe the alphabetizing option can be set for the emulator?

The unzipped directory 'should' get deleted every time you select a game, so it shouldn't build up. Maybe the issue is its not delete subdirectories or something?

I got no problem with the sub-directories being deleted. I played 5 or 6 games to test the GoodMerge support and when I closed GameEx they were sitting in the folder GameEx made (all vesrions of the 6 games I tested) uncompressed. If GameEx is supposed to clean out it's 'temp folder' it's not doing it.

OK, that will likely be what's causing the bug then, if any.

Thanks for letting me know.
