Hi,

firstly like to say GameEx Rocks

I have been using GameEx for some time now without problems

I have constantly kept up with updates and have not had a problem untill now

last working version for me is 4.01

soon as I updated to 4.03 GameEx hanged at startup

I even tried 4.04 and the same thing happends

if I reinstall 4.01 no problem, everything works fine

i figured out that to stop GameEx hanging was to take out the .exe away from advancemame.exe in the setting

but when i do this, Mame is not showing on the Start page, everything else is there such as dvd, jukebox, othere emulators etc etc

and yes i have made sure that mame is selected to show up on screen

the strange thing is that without changing any settings and reinstall 4.01 everything works fine

so what im wondering, has something majorly changed from 4.01 to 4.03 and 4.04

or is it something new added to make AdvanceMame work in new version :blink:

im confussed as to why all of a sudden mame not working

ususally just do an update and everything work fine from version to version

does anyone have a sollution or simular problem or just me?

my advancemame is on D:\Mame

and no, im not going to put it on C drive

as requested this is my log

OK, now I can help!

You need to use a regular version of MAME in addition to AdvMAME. The normal MAME EXE and path should point to a recent supported normal MAME build. IE MAME.EXE and not ADVMAME.EXE

The change in the newer versions is the log does validation on the version of MAME, and displays its version. It triying to do this with AdvanceMAME which is coming up with an error in a dialog box. This is making the GameEx window loose focus, and therefore not able to initialise the Input, hence crash. Keep your advancmame settings but make sure the regular mame settings are pointing to a valid mame build.

That should do it.

dear admin

thank you so much for your fast response to my problem

Yippy :D it works

I pointed the mame exe to an official build and all seem fine now

so thank you for solving my problem

but may I ask why things had to change in the current versions of gameex

when it comes to using advancemame

what im basically trying to ask, is there any benifit by having the official build alongside advmame, why is the advmame exe nolonger valid, never needed it before.

anyway, the main thing is everything works again and thats the main thing

and if i have to have an official build alongside advancedmame then so be it

thank you for your assistance

and hope other advancemame users will find this info of benifit

thank you for a great front end, it Rocks once again

GameEx was always meant to work with AdvanceMAME in that manner. You were using it in a way I never designed GameEx for. The main reason, AdvMAME does not support all the functionality and cmd line options MAME does, although it will play the games, but when trying to verify roms, update the list, and get output it does not implement all the options of MAME. At least it never used to. The updates in the new version had nothing to do with AdvanceMAME.
