Hi All,

I'm a new registered User.

I'm been playing with Mame32 Plus! with no issue at all.

I've registered to this great frontend and after installation WIZARD, Gameex started without any problem.

However when going into Mame game (All games) here is the error...

This one is redundant with any other selections (Horizontal Games, Originals Games, ...)

It seems related to DIRECTX:

Hi,

I've pointed out the error...

1) The problem is related to your theme amos_82

What is the minimal resolution to which I can use it in gameEx ? 640*480 ???

I've an ARCADEVGA with BETSON 27'' Multisynch

Default BluEx 640*480 gives me no issue at all.

What is strange is that if I try to select in the configurator "Switch to resolution" with 640*480 specified

Your theme appeared as out of the screen, I am only seeing the first quarter of the picture (top left hand corner).

Why are new theme not mentioning resolution in the Theme selection picker ?

2) The problem with using lists in all themes were related to videos.

It seems that GameEx froze when trying to display video of the game selected (Yes I have ffdshow installed).

3) Run in ArcadeMode (Turn ArcadeMode on even if displaying at a suitable resolution).

I can't see the point of that setting ?

It means that if 800*600 is fored it will run in arcademode either ? but what is arcademode exactly ?

4) In the configurator, the shift key for Alphapaging and Volume is different, but I have seen some control instruction sticker done by member of the forum on which it seems that is only one shift buttons and that volume up and down is done with 2p Stick. ? How can it be ?

5) If I select Mame32gui emulator to be run under Gameex, do I have to specify -video ddraw -nohmwstrech in Gameex if there are selected in Mame32gui ?

6) Mame32 !Plus is listing 6286 games where Gameex just 5240 games (No filter, adult and mahong games allowed). I've seen this issue quite a number of time in the forum but no real answer.

Maybe Tom should review the code behing the listing games function...

... more questions to come :-)

Thanks in advance for your help

See you soon

Jontox
