[RESOLVED] Issue with Icons in GameEx 17.16

[Torkyo]

Hello there, 

I have a strange issue with the front end: although I got the usual icons in my MAME icons folder, gameex, starting from the V (to Z)  letter , doesn't show anymore the corresponding icons leaving a blank space.

It's weird, it was working until the version I was using before (17.11 if I'm not wrong). So basically it displays all the right icons from A to V list and it "forgets" the remaining ones.

it happens in all the list I got, like All mame games, Favourites, last games played

I tried to change directory of MAME icons, also changed the directory from insede the setupwizard. I download a new set (but the old one was good and checked, Wonderboy, Zaxxon ad other games having names beginning with V to Z letters, all the right icons are properly present), I updated the list, I even totally uninstalled gameex making a clean install, rebuilding the lists. noway, I can't have all the icons again.

Please, have you got any advice to solve the issue?

here is my gameex.ini.

 

thanks

Please attach a copy of your log.txt file as well. Thanks!

thanks, here you are also a couple of pics that show what I mean; one is the favourite list, as you can see as the V names start, icons are no longer shown. and in last played you can see Wonderboy without icon.

thanks again

Please enable list numbers for a bit and tell me how many total games you have in the all MAME games list. Also, have you tried updating the MAME games list? Did this occur after doing something like that?

Hello and thanks for the answer, 

I enabled the list. all mame games reports 13854 games. I also updated again after enabling list numbers but it didn't solve.

For what I remember I didn't have the issue in past version of GameEx, like 17.11

thanks for your support

Following your advice I started to change options to build the list.

Under the "Mame Settings" tabs I turned on the options: "Verify Roms" and "Only existing roms"

This reduced my All Mame game list to 8888 and now all the icones are displayed!

hope this can help you to understand better the strange behaviour of the list.

Good to hear. I believe the max is 10,000 icons so it would make sense.

[Torkyo]

Well, the problem is that now days Mame supports to many games

thanks again for your work and your support.
