not all games show on lower end pc

[21up]

Hi all

i have gameex running on a 2 gig 512 ram 64 meg graphics.xp pro ( registered)

For ages it would only find 116 games out of 3000+,after searching through all the topics ie 80 pages,and trying different things.(then i put the latest virsion on yesterday 7.05 i think.

All games showed but when i click a game it goes to black screen and ctrl-alt-del shows game running.

I have tried many things in config,all games play ok in mame.

Once it goes to black screen it pushes cpu to 100% and after a while i have to restart as cannot shutdown in task manager as cpu at 100%

i honestly cannot find a solution (in faq or topics .

thanks Peter

running mame 32 0.91

I am having a similar problem. I haven't changed anything except my version of GameEx, and my Zinc games all go to a black screen with sound and inputs working. Alt-Tabbing to the game it remains hidden, but the games run fine from Zinc command line and ZincFE.

Are you using the DirectX renderer for Zinc? Are you sure this is to do with the new version???

I am using the OpenGL renderer and used to be able to use it fine, do I have to use Direct3D with GameEx? I'll try it out.

Hi all

i dont have zinc,i had the last version of gameex and it only showed 116 games.

But it closed back to the frontend after playing a game,i upgraded and it found all 3000 games but when i click on one.

The screen goes off and just stays black and after ctr-alt-del it shows game and gameex still running,and cpu well up sometimes 100%.

On my other cab800 cpu 256 meg xp pro

direct x 9

netframework 1.1 it only shows116 games with the earlier version to the last update,and does sometimes go back to black screen.

Both of them take a couple of minutes to go back to gameexif i leave older version in and 116 games,untill i

sort this i cannot put any other emulaters in.

I have set it up the best i know from toms readups and searching this forum every night to see if anything new has been added.

So for now i have taken it off my other cab with 800 cpu and just run mame as it is and all is ok.(just without this excellent front end )

Hope somebody has some ideas

thanks a lot Peter ps sorry for rambling its getting to me
