There is a new GameEx 6.52 out - downloading it now

[Atari800]

Lets see what happens with attract mode

(drum roll)

/|\

Video game kicked in in attract mode - now waiting for video

and videos kicked in - woo hoo

Thanks Tom

Can someone spot check something

Load up TEMPEST, choose level 0 and complete it - can you make it to the next

or does it exit back to Gameex?

Mine is exiting - checked outside of Gameex and it goes to the next level

I am gonna check MAME settings

I turned on MAME logging and this is the last part:

earom ctrl: 00:00

earom ctrl: 00:00

earom ctrl: 00:00

earom ctrl: 00:00

earom ctrl: 00:00

earom ctrl: 00:00

shutting down after exception

I tried Direct Draw and D3D

I also turned off SKIP DISCLAIMER from Gameex config (thinking it was some keycode being sent)

Maybe resolution? or a Graphics setting?

One other thing - if I go to any level above 0 it doesnt happen

Ok - if I set to GDI then it works

Weird

seems very weird there my friend. Just tried it myself thorugh GameEx(using mame 107) and it proceeded from level 0 to level 1 without skipping a beat. Here is a snippet section of vid settings from my .ini for you to compare(it may be a setting on your end afterall):

That did it!!! Thanks man

Changed:

d3dversion 9 was 8

video d3d was gdi

triplebuffer 0 was 1

The way I read it - my config did not like

Direct 3d 8 with Triple Buffering

but is enjoying

Direct 3d 9 with NO Triple Buffering

Funny it was working before.....but hell....it's working now

Thanks again
