I noticed that when I started the latest GameEx after update that the aspect ratio of my snap/title/mng are wrong for vertical games. I also can't get the bezels for vertical games to work anymore.

I did use mame 0.107 for a while but I couldn't get the bezels to work, so I went back to trusty ol' 0.106, but the bezels are gone. I might have screwed something up on my own, but just wanted to make sure that it's not a known GameEx issue.

Did you update the list again with the older version of MAME. Need to do that.

Oh, okay. But how about the aspect thingie then?

I'm not to sure, I know a few versions back this was an issue with MAME .107 because of the change in output of the info from MAME. It should be fixed now though, and shouldnt affect older versions of MAME.

So I'm not too sure whats going on. Can you provide any additional info?

This is not MAME related really, because it's the aspect ratio for the .mng files for vertical games in GameEx game list. So the MAME version can't be the source of this.

I can post a screen for you tomorrow if you still think I'm bonkers. :)

As I said this was an issue with MAME .107. It was MAME related when updating the list with MAME .107.

Its the MAME games list update which tells gameex which orientation to use. So it sounds like it is MAME related.

EDIT: I dont think your bonkers I saw exactly this issue when using MAME .107 a few versions back, although I thought I fixed it.
