BUG?!

[hansolo77]

I was setting up my next emulator (Commodore 64) and it was emulator #30. After going through all the paces (I know what I'm doing by now.. heh, I'm at 30 ), GameEx wouldn't load up any roms. It just returned back the "error" No-Roms Found, or whatever it is. I checked everything over and over again. I disabled 7zip, enabled 7zip, removed all my snaps, re-added them, changed the rom folder name, I even spend 3 hours extracting all the games so they wouldn't be zipped. In the end, nothing worked. I looked at the actual GameEx.ini file in /config, and everything looked like it was there. So just for the hell of it, I changed the box [Emulator_30] to say [Emulator_31]. Saved and restarted GameEx. Wouldn't you know? It worked!!!! So there you have it. I went back into the ini and changed it back to 30, and it didn't work. Set it back to 31 and it works! Go figure that. So that's gotta be a bug in the rom list parsing somewhere. Just thought I'd throw it out there for Tom to catch.

Oh by the way. Here's another lamer bug I hit earlier today. I was letting it run the attract/screensaver and it started loading up pinball tables. I have both VisualPinball and FuturePinball configured to NOT show in screensaver. I suppose it could have been "any" emulator, I know it's not because they're pinball. But I do know for a fact that it was a VisualPinball table, and currently that is Emulator #21 on my setup. So Tom, you may need to check out the parsings on that guy too.

Erm, nevermind.... I figured out my problem. I had 7zip enabled, and the roms are in ZIP format, not 7zip... and I remembered reading something saying you changed it to only look for .7z files... so I just did a quick:

rename *.zip *.7z

from a command prompt and everything works great now. Still got that other thing about the emulators running in attract mode that have that feature disabled to work out though.
