GameEx 19.72 Not Allowing PC to Enter Sleep

[mace]

Hi Tom,

I've found that since the last (~4 or so) update group that the PC in my game cabinet does not enter fully into sleep mode, the screen blanks but the power to peripherals remains on. Without Gameex running the machine behaves normally entering sleep without issue. This happened some time back and I posted then, as a result the issue went away in the following update. I've not attached files as I've not changed anything in some time so the only thing that has changed in the machine (aside from Win 11 updates) is the Gameex code. It's not a big issue, I've just swapped the power button into shutdown mode but I wanted to flag it for your information.

Thank you , as always for all your work supporting the platform, it's appriciated.

I think this is actually by design to be honest with you. ie. A feature not a bug. I did make a change to ensure this happens when fullscreen. It was always the case when full screen exclusive. i can make a setting for you so it does not do this, but for me it is correct.

I'm didn't presume to use the  'B' word 🙂 and that makes sense Tom, as the other PC does not perform that way and it's set up with a different fullscreen option.

Because I'm running other programs than Mame (like a Fruit Machine Emu set) I can't change the screen without causes issues so if you could add that as an option when you have time that would be very useful for my set up, hmmmm typing this I feel a bit needy - sorry, and thank you.
