Did this bug get fixed?

I'm not one to install every latest point release for software or keep up on every little detail of every release. Once I find something that works well, I leave it alone and GameEx is, by and large, trouble-free. I'm curious however, if this one particular GameEx bug got fixed.

Before each Mame game is launched in GameEx, I shell an executable that downloads a joystick configuration file to my 360's. The configuration files are named after the ROM name so it makes sense that my configuration uses the GameEx placeholder [ROM] in the path. While using the system, this works flawlessly (I'm really very happy with it). However, when the PC is in screensaver mode, it doesn't pass the rom name, rather it passes the game description or title. Due to an unrelated bug in this joystick executable that won't ignore a non-existent configuration file, the system blows up when this happens. I can confirm however, that GameEx is, in fact, passing the Description and not the rom name.

Did this bug get fixed? I'm using 7.71.

runitgame.bat

C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAMAP\ULTRAMAP.EXE D:\RESOURCE\ULTRAMAPS\Cyberball 2072 (2 player, rev 1).UGC

should be:

C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAMAP\ULTRAMAP.EXE D:\RESOURCE\ULTRAMAPS\CYBERB21.UGC

Okay. No responses. Should I change the title to "bug found" ?

bump.

ummm.... Don't know. You could check the update log. But, not every update makes it in there, so your best bet is just to install the new version and see. If anything new breaks, report it here and Tom always seems on top of it!

Fixed. Will be in next release.

A 6 minute bug-fix! Woot! Thanks Tom. Now if I could just get the author of that joystick app to recognize that bug-reports are not a personal attack, everything would be groovy.
