GAMEEX ARCADE, ATTRACT MODE OPTIONS

[peterson65]

i am using gameex arcade on my game cabinet and in attract mode i could select only favorites in the settings but its nice to see some game demo that i have never seen running . i have no majong selected in the mame options in the setting for mame in gameex but i get demos of them and poker games some come up with screens that say call attendant door open and it just sits there till it switches, is it possible to do something where only arcade games demo? thanks

I have not had a chance to look deeply at this to see if I can replicate the error as I have been focused on issues surrounding a death in the family. I did  let mine run for a bit and did not see anything that I shouldn't. Be sure that you have disabled what you don't want to see in the list within the Advanced MAME Settings for integrated MAME and Update List within GameEx AE after any changes.

it also sometimes i see the same games demo a lot  shouldnt it be more random? i mean there are like 10 thousand games with the complete romset yet i see a lot of the same games show up how does attract mode pick what to demo?  thanks

Realistically, GameEx is not going to see 10K of the complete ROM set as it filters out the mechanical ROMS. That said, I was able to replicate what you described so @Tom Speirswill need to take a look and determine if this is truly a bug or limitation for Attract Mode in that it does not rely upon the integrated MAME settings. Following are my confirmations

- I was able to limit what was displayed when Favorites ere enabled.

- I saw Mahjong, Poker and other games that I have set in the Game Filter in the Advanced MAME settings as well as disabled under No Mahjong Games and No Casino Games.

thanks for  verifying that it wasnt just me and my settings. was about to start over.

Please upgrade to the latest version and report back with a new gameex.ini and log.txt file attached. Thanks.

so i have been running it for a few nights while i was watching tv and tried to keep an eye on it running attract mode and i havent seen majong or other casino games so has something changed in a update? or has it been luck .thanks

I just returned fron vacation earlier this week and have yet to test myself.

Sometimes Tom will sneak a fix in without notice or fanfare.
