Tom - can I buy a feature?

[Atari800]

I keep harping on this "like a palidin on a French Canadian which is static. Making my Joystick like a Monday morning hangover"

...Sorry it was that other post that still makes me naseas

I am looking for for a way so ZINC (playstation games) run from roms in ZINC's directory not mames

Heres my problem...I got ZINC in one directory with its own ROMS directoryI got MAME in its own directory with its ROMS in it Gameex seems like it runs ZINC but points to the the MAME roms directory

The problem is when I run CLRMAMEPRO - when new version of mame and roms get released I run this to merge and keep MAME "clean"

Well this alters the ZINC files in the MAME rom directory to conform with whatever the version of mame requires...so far its just renamed files within zip files

This isnt a catastrophy but I keep forgetting this and when I run CLRMAMEPRO - this makes ZINC games in Gameex not launch (complains it cant find files in the roms)

I have to manually modify about 75 ROMS in the MAME roms directory to get ZINC working again in Gameex

Is there a way in Gameex to make ZINC its own emualtor and not part of the MAME section as Playstation?

Or something in CONFIGURATION that makes ZINC/PLAYSTATION chosen games use the zinc roms directoryEither option would be cool

If there is nothing in current version...can I purchase this feature?

I'd rather register as a $50 user and get this feature than getting that kicked in the balls feeling when I run CLRMAMEPRO and realize I just created a problem for my self

Thanks in advance

Why not just put your zinc games in another folder an not use CLRMAME on this folder?

[Atari800]

Currently they are....CLRMAME only runs on the MAME direcotry

c:\mame\roms <-mame stuff

c:\zinc\romssss <---zinc

However this occurs...

19:25:00.3 9/10/2006: Running: cmd.exe /c c: c:\ZINC\zinc.exe 20 --roms-directory=c:\Zinc\romsssss --renderer=.\renderer.znc

19:25:43.6 9/10/2006: Running: cmd.exe /c c: c:\ZINC\zinc.exe 20 --roms-directory=c:\Zinc\romsssss --renderer=.\renderer.znc

19:26:22.0 9/10/2006: Running: cmd.exe /c c: c:\ZINC\zinc.exe 10 --roms-directory=c:\Mame32\roms --renderer=.\renderer.znc

19:26:34.5 9/10/2006: Running: cmd.exe /c c: c:\ZINC\zinc.exe 10 --roms-directory=c:\Mame32\roms --renderer=.\renderer.znc

19:26:54.5 9/10/2006: Exiting GameEx!

so something is making it look "elsewhere"

Is it when I do the roms scan - where it looks in a direcotry that scan found it in?

I am available for contracting, but Im not intersted in earning just £25.00 for all this work. I'm not a taxi driver

If you seriously want to pay for software development work of GameEx contact me on my email or go to http://www.spesoft.com, otherwsie your best putting in a feature request.

PS. The taxi driver remark is just a joke

Thanks,

Tom

I think its because the roms also exist in the other directory. If you completely move them all to the zinc directory, I think it should be fine.
