[RESOLVED] GameEx Arcade Edition - Mame gamelist update stops

[Mootaz]

Hi, 

I've encountered an issue updating my mame gamelist under Gameex Arcade Edition. It starts without problems, but then I hear a "bing" (one of Windows XP system sounds) and the update stops, but I can't switch to task manager due to fullscreen mode to see what happened and let it continue. Sometimes pressing button 1 or 2 on the cab solves the issue but then I hear the "bing" again and everything stops.

I tried to update the gamelist in Gameex standard (not Arcade Edition) and it works. Anybody has a clue?

thanks

Luca

Please provide  your Gameex .ini and log files so that some insight can be gained from what's occurring and what may potentially be the issue causing it.

Most likely an unsupported version of MAME you are using or a file permissions/security issue such as MAME.exe being located on a network drive.

Probably different filter settings between the two GameEx versions. Red herring trying to compare the two.

It's a regular .193 mameui in a win xp mamecab. No net drives. I'll try to provide the gameex.ini and log files, thanks.

I managed to overcome the stops pressing either the player 1 or the A button.

Don't know what was stopping it, maybe some mame message window.

I suggest using the corresponding command line version of mame.
