[RESOLVED] Gameex works, then it doesn't work

[Shumaker72]

Looking for advice on this issue. I've had mame w/Gameex running smooth w/out any issues for a while. I got everything installed in my cabinet with the x arcade tankstick, etc. Kept running into issues with sticky keys/hot keys, etc and it was kicking me out of Gameex. Got the sticky/hot key issue resolved, reloaded Gameex and none of my favorites show up and the games won't load. I checked the setting and the folders for the roms and emulator are correct. Rebooted and it worked. Then I had another sticky key issue(forgot to uncheck a box) and rebooted again. Now the games won't load again no matter how many times i reboot. Any suggestions?  Side note, I ran the download art/videos program in the Gameex folder and after about 30 minutes I gave up as it kept relooping over the same games. The above issue started right around the same time as I did this also. Wondering if i should just delete Gameex and reinstall it or is there something I'm missing?

Welcome to the GameEx forums

I would download the current installer and just install GameEx over itself without doing anything else.

Give that a try, and also provide your gameex.ini and log if that doesn't help.

The artwork downloader works with your account at emumovies, which I'm assuming you have on at least on the basic level.  It's not unusual for it to pickup and run where it left off, perhaps it's just restarting what it didn't finish, which isn't unusual. 

The system packs in the downloads section are a great way to get around this quickly IMO, and work wonderfully if you have a full romset.

Well,  after typing out my post last night I just went and reinstalled Gameex and everything is working fine.  Once it updated the rom's list upon start up everything worked just fine. I guess in hindsight I should have just hit the "Update list" option on the main screen, but of course I never noticed it was there until it was too late. Good to go now.  Thanks for the help.
