[RESOLVED] GameEx Arcade Edition 16.10 - Game missing

[Torkyo]

Hi there.

First of all thanks for this piece of software, it is very nice and powerful front end.

It works perfectly in practically speaking any aspect apart a small but important issue I noticed :

Using Groovymame or mame (0.217 and previous versions) I cannot find the game Mazinger in any available list.

I'm sure I got the right files in the right places. If I try to run Mazinger directly from mame or groovymame, the  game is correctly loaded.

The strange thing is that Mazinger isn't even recognised in the search tool of the front end. The game is not detected even in not working games. in the front end Mazinger simply doesn't exist. I tried also using the jap name but no way.

So far this is the only game I got this issue.

Before to write here I tried all the way I knew to figure out to solve the problem, installing the front end on a new PC starting from a blank configuration to avoid possible problems.

I tried also with different version of GameEx. the problem is present also in GameEx standard, last release and also an older version of GameEx standard. I tried also older version and builds of mame without any success.

Hope you can help me to find a way to force the front end to see Mazinger in the game list.

 

thanks

btw I reported the Game Ex arcade version showed in the log.txt although I'm sure I downloaded the 16.20.

You probably need to obtain the ROM names and add them under Don't Filter These ROMS in setup wizard, then launch GameEx Arcade and Update List.

[Torkyo]

thanks for the hint, sadly I already tried that way with no success.

[Draco1962]

There are no entries for DoNotFilterROMS= in your gameex.ini. Can you try adding the ROM name(s) for Mazinger manually in the gameex.ini and update list afterwards? We may need to see the updated log.txt file afterwards as well. 

[Torkyo]

there was no entry as I removed it after that I realised it didn't work. I did it now again now.

thanks

Did you update the list again? This needs doing. Are you sure you got the right rom name. Note you just specify without the .zip.

 

[Torkyo]

Hello, thanks for the answer.

yes I did. I updated the list

I’m sure about the name.
 

To be precise my GameEx.ini reports:

DoNotFilterRoms=mazinger; mazinger.zip

I used both (with and without the extension) to be sure but I tried also both the single ways (only mazinger.zip or mazinger).

updating the list.

[Tom Speirs]

Please try:

DoNotFilterRoms=mazinger;mazinger

Maybe its a bug. I will check shortly.

[Torkyo]

Hi, thanks for the advice.

 I tried  DoNotFilterRoms=mazinger;mazinger

No success to report.

I report the same issue. Torkyo is a master of GameEx and MAME and Mazinger doesn't show in version he uses. This game shows in my setup using 197 romset amd Groovymame. Maybe this helps.

[Tom Speirs]

Thanks for reporting the issue and sorry for the delay. The issue is fixed in 16.27, available in about 20 minutes.

Cheers.

Tom,

[Torkyo]

Thanks so much! 
As soon as I'm able to test it (tonight hopefully) I'll report my feedback.

thanks again!

Did you ever fix/find a solution to the issue?  I am having a similar issue with the following roms:  jak_disf;jak_dpr;jak_dprs;jak_disn.  I am able to play the games using Mame64, but I cant get them to show in GameEx.

Looking at your question, I went to look for Mazinger as well.  In Mame, I have Mazinger Z but not in GameEx.  Am I missing a setting?

Thanks.

Yes, it should be fixed in 16.27. Looks like your still on 16.26.

[Torkyo]

It works perfect with 16.27.

To be said I didn't check with other versions but Arcade which is perfect now.

 

thanks again!!!!
