Gameex Arcade Esition - Mame games not found

[Tom Speirs]

Otherwise if you still want to resolve the issue post new logs please. I can assure you I cannot duplicate any issues.

[Supersonick]

Sure!! here the logs

GameEx.ini log.txt

And this is with the replaced vanilla mame64.exe?

[Supersonick]

No. This is with new rom folder with 1 .zip rom in it. 
give me 10 min and I’ll keep the same but replacing the mame exe and run logs again. 

[Supersonick]

logs now with orig mame64.exe replacing the groovymame exe,

This is very strange. Its still not able to run mame64.exe. It must be a user rights issue of some kind.

[Supersonick]

I have run as administrator checked. 
also full control given to all.. see picture. (Sorry crt scans..)

[Tom Speirs]

Is there anything else particularly different with your setup such as a lite os or different language to English?

[Supersonick]

No.. I do not think so.. this is win 10 64 home. It runs in test mode since it has installed the CRT emudriver 2.0.. but that should not have any limitation to anything . All other emulators runs fine.. snes9x, dolphin, daphne (daphne it is not setup properly but it runs properly , in the sense it has the same behavior when launched stand-alone or through front-end). 

[Supersonick]

What if I add Mame under the emulators list.. ? I can add any emulator but give rompaths to mame exe and mame roms folder..  is it a test worth to try? 

[Supersonick]

OMG. 
it worked. So setting mame as an emulator it actually worked no problems. 
it sees all the roms and I can launch. 
For some reason the Mame setup in the wizard that correspond to the “arcade” games type in the frontend, as we saw, does not work. 
will test more to confirm this is solved. 
still puzzling why the mame setup is not working.

After looking at this some more it looks like GameEx does not have access to c:\groovymame and your MAME command line options are all wrong. You are overthinking it and trying to do things that GameEx already inject. Just delete your MAME options entirely and make sure there are no rights issues with c:\groovymame.
