Avenger Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I used to own a license of Gameex but hadn't used the program in a long time. So I downloaded the latest version and set it up to the latest ROMS are artwork for mame. The program initialized and parsed all the roms and I played a game or two. When I went to exit, the program hung. I think I killed it. When I started up again, I just get like a mostly empty Media center type interface with a few startup notes but then nothing. I think something got corrupted. Can I reset somehow and try again? Here are my ini and log files. log.txt GameEx.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Please try deleting all the bitmap (bmp) files from the MEDIA folder. Normally c:\gameex\media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally c:\gameex\media I wound up uninstalling everything and deleted the GameEx directory and the reinstalling a fresh install. Maybe it was because it was reinstalling over a version that was years old. I have a question. When a MAME ROM starts, there is a black screen for about 5 seconds. Is that because the disclaimer is being skipped? Also if I buy a lifetime license, is that per instance or can I run on a laptop as well with one license. Thanks.

RedDog Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I believe the black screen is actually a feature that a was added in the last 8 months or so. If you have an image file called Launching.png or Launching.jpg in the MEDIA folder of the theme you are using, GameEx will display that image while the emulator loads. If you have no image, it is a black screen instead. It is to make the launch process a little nicer looking. I can't comment on the licensing. You may want to message Tom privately on that one.

Tom Speirs Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Your usage is fine for that @Avenger Techincally GameEx is DRM free for your own home/laptops. I only worry about and check for abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
