MAME ROMs do not update

[Paul]

So now I uninstalled GameEx Arcade and Installed Legacy and can't get any roms to show up HELP! all my paths are correct i've tried to update the list a hundred times at least. My mame paths are C:\Emulators\Mame32 for the .EXE and of course C:\Emulators\Mame32\roms just like i had in the Arcade version and i cannot get them to show up,,, weird

Sorry, Paul, but I split this out as a separate topic from the one originally reported. Please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files in reply to this thread.

GameEx.ini

log.txt

I did want to throw out there, thank you for your support! I'm not sure what's up with my setup at this point

[Paul]

So here's where i'm at now... I've uninstalled Legacy GameEx a few times and re-applied my registry key a couple times. when I startup GameEx and try to update my game list it's still showing "no games found" I have verified my file paths countless times and have tried setting advanced settings from false to true for verfying roms and only existing roms multiple times. I got nothing else. very frustrating! :-)

You're running a 32-bit version of MAME but yet your log.txt shows windows 7 64-bit. For obvious performance reasons you should probably correct that.

 

Which version of MAME are you running? Current version is MAME 0.183

 

You might want to turn off filters and other options then preform an update list in GameEX itself.

OnlyWorking=False
AllowImperfect=True
VerifyRoms=False
OnlyRoms=False
NoGameInfo=False
GameFilter=Japan;Korea;Asia;Hispanic;Bootleg;French;German;Hack;Prototype;Hardware;Spanish;(Easy;(harder
GameFilterOn=False

I'm running an old version 0.109. How do I correct the log.txt problem?

[B2K24]

0.109 is more than 10 years old. I'd highly suggest seeking out the latest version + romset and pointing GameEX to this new location w/e you put it.

It sounds like you'll need to set up MAME completely from scratch which isn't too difficult.

Sounds good! Thanks for the help
