"Update list? Back to cancel"

[djrobx]

Almost every time I run GameEx, it wants to update the list of MAME roms. I have the menu item to update the list turned off. What could cause this? Once updated it looks fine.

Anytime you mess with the gameex config. It will ask to update roms.

This must be a bug then. I'll get it fixed.

DJrobx, glad to see your still around, I'd given up on you a long time ago!

I've noticed that I get an "update list?" popup whenever I go into Favorites.. if that's not what this is addressing, you might check it out too Tom.

Thanks, its the same thing.

I just thought it was supposed to do that now. LOL!

No worries, but its only supposed to do it if you change the MAME executable, not every single config change!

Is this why GameEx changes the Bezelversion from 2 -> 1 for no (and wrong) reason as well? Because I've tried to make you see that's a bug.

Not sure yet, does that only happen when you try to create mame videos though, yes?

Heh, yeah. I thought it must be something with just my setup because surely someone would have said something by now. Glad to know I haven't gone totally insane.

Yeah I'm still alive. Sorry I went AWOL; my life got crazy. I got sucked back into working that home theater related job. Not only did that kill ALL of my free time, but it also meant running linux on my main gaming/HTPC machine. I recently quit that job which has put Windows back on the box and is giving me time to get back into the gaming thing again.

No, that happends most times I change anything through the Advanced Configuration App. And not only MAME settings, but other emus too. I have learned to work around it, but for other users it could be a mystery that they find not worth solving and move on to other (not as good) frontends. Vertical games are a big piece of MAME gaming you know.
