GameEX Window Focus & Zinc Messed Up?

[Dzo]

I'm having a problem getting Zinc working with GameEx. Zinc works on my system perfectly as a standalone application however when i select a zinc enabled game within gameex, gameex minimises as it should, zinc actually launches, i get sound but just a black screen. I only have this problem when launching from gameex though, weird eh?

Is there something i'm missing or is it a known problem?

Are you using the correct renderer? Ben awhile since I set it up, but I think you need to switch the rendering method to D3D.

Hope that helps!

Ah, that'd probably explain it, i'll give it ago now, would have perfered to use OpenGL but hey ho! I've found out this weekend that the mame dev team have removed hi score support for older games i'm serioulsy ****ed off about that!

This is going to present a problem to me For whatever reason the nvidia card in my mame box doesn't like using d3d on the tv out, its fine with opengl. It's obviously a general thing because i have to run everything with the -video ddraw through mame. Going to have a scout around after for answers!

EDIT: Right i've sorted it all out, yes it appears you do have to use d3d with zinc for GameEx support. My issue was the fact that there was something wrong with my card meaning that it wouldn't output direct3d. this is sorted now though

Cheers for your help guys.
