Gameex Arcade Edition ignoring games ini files

[Mootaz]

I've got mameui32 .193  installed in a cab but some games  (Scramble, Galaxian, Phoenix...) launched from gameex arcade edition do not show the correct resolutions. I only see the top left part of the game.

If I launch them from mameui I've got no problem, the resolution is perfect. It's like gameex doesn't read the games' specific ini files that are in the ini directory. 

mame start command line in gameex ini is: -joy -nowindow -readconfig

How can I let gameex read the games ini files? Thanks.

You need to try changing your command line by adding -noswitchres

Mine shows as -nowindow -video d3d -noswitchres -triplebuffer -skip_gameinfo and displays just fine.

Give that a go and let us know if that resolves your issue.

Activating noswitchres solved the problem with the aforementioned games but I think that now I've lost all the individual pixel perfect resolutions. Everything works at 640x480 now, right?

Try launching MAME via command line using the same switches. 

I am not sure what you are asking "Everything works at 640x480 now, right?"

Whatever they were set to in the individual configuration files for resolution is what they should display.

At this point, if the issue is not resolved, please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files for review.
