Is there a working dynamic marquee for 64 bit GameEx?


Recommended Posts

I've just updated my arcade cab to a nice new mini PC with Windows 11 pro (64 bit). Thought I'd do a fresh install and update everything since I was on v 16.28 of GameEx Arcade from way back in the day! I used to use MarqueeMasher to show marquees on the second monitor that is at the top of my cab. However I can't get that working now. I presume this is because it's a 32 bit dll and doesn't work with the latest GameEx 64 bit version? The log shows failed to load extension and there's no log from MarqueeMasher.

So I figured I'd try Infoz. That gives me a GDI error when trying to add an image to a layout (mentioned in another post on here without a solution), so I can't set that up to work as a marquee either.

I thought since all I need is a simple fullscreen marquee I could maybe just enable marquee in the GameEx settings but if I do that it fails to run and I get an "index was outside the bounds of the array" error in the log.

Does anyone have a working dynamic marquee with a 64 bit version of GameEx? Is there another plugin/solution somewhere?

Attached are my gamneex.ini and log from switching on marquee and enabling the MarqueeMasher plugin. It's the same if I disable the plugin (not sure if that should do anything or not?) only without the failed to load plugin message near the start.

I've attached the exception that I get from infoz too. Appreciate that is a separate thing, just for future reference.

Thanks.
