[RESOLVED] MAME 0.179 Not Working in GameEx

[tglopez]

I've been trying without success to get the latest version of MAME to work within GameEx. I've ensured that the ROMs are mapped correctly, but every time I start a game it fades to black and just kicks me back to GameEx. If I try to start a game directly through MAME, I have no issues. Any suggestions on what I should do to resolve the issue?

Hi,

Please post your log (c:\gameex\log\log.txt) during a session where the issue has occurred.

I see you have the following (non default) options added to the command line:-  -joy -ctrlr X-Arcade

I expect its that, that is the problem.

If you understand what a .bat file is you can look at c:\gameex\data\runitgame.bat to see exactly what MAME does not like.

Bingo. Thanks, Tom. I removed those commands and everything is working properly. Appreciate your help!
