Mame games dont start up in Gameex

**Blacktiger** · May 18, 2007

Hi

First time i installed Gameex mame games worked fine, then i got some problem with codecpack i have installed, so i decied to reinstall windowsxp. After installation

i got some problem with Gameex, when i start a mame game, i get a blackscreen and hear beepsound and jumps back to Gameex screen of the game i have choosen. Then i exit Gameex, i see Gameex.ink dos window is still open and a error requster window with this error message Mame "Error: unknown option:- artwork" and sometimes it says Mame "Osd init failed". Also if i try to start the game again when it jumps back to Gameex, i got the error log below after some tries.

If i start the games in Mame32 instead, they work fine without any problems.

Any ideas whats wrong or is it any settings that i have wrong??

Sincerely

Blacktiger

try opening the "Run Last Game.bat" file (its in the GameEx\Data folder) delete the @ECHO OFF line and add PAUSE on a new line at the bottom then run the batch and see if it gives you any errors

Hi

Thanks for your answer, i have now checked out the runitgame.bat file but did get the same error, although if i deleted -artwork option in it and run the bat file, the game starts up.

So what setting in Gameex adds the -artwork option? , i have open mostly all ini files and searched them for -artwork, i have also attach screendump of the error.

Sincerly

Updated info

I have now tried a clean install of Mame32 still same error in Gameex, have also tried dos version of Mame and it jumps back to game selection screen of Gameex when i try to start a game in Mame, although no error message when using dos version of Mame, have also tried different version of Gameex, but still no luck so i giving up now .

The strange is that Gameex worked fine before i did clean reinstall of Windows XP, so i was thinking that i might missings some software that Gameex need, i have

latest directx, windows mediaplayer 11 and net framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed.

Any ideas whats wrong??

Sincerely

Blacktiger

There was a change in the artwork files a few in MAME a few versions ago. Is it possible you are using an old set of artwork and a new version of MAME? I thought it would just ignore the files if not compatible, but perhaps not.

If you want to disable artwork in MAME, there is an option in the Advanced Config. I don't know where it is off the top of my head, but I would guess Advanced MAME Settings or something. Since artwork isn't working anyway, maybe you could disable it for the time being to see if that fixes things.

You could check and upgrade your video drivers. What version of MAME are you using, and which other versions of GameEx did you try?

Hi

In mame itself the artworks is working fine, it is just in Gameex i got this error when i try to start a mame game from it, i also tried to untick artwork option in mame but did not help either and i have the latest artwork installed.

Thanks anyway

Hi

I have latest drivers for my radeon 9600 installed, alhough i had older driver installed before i did the reinstall of windows xp, but dont have them saved. First i had Mame32 0.114 installed and then i tried Mame 0.115u1 and Mame32 0.115u1, i had Mame32 0.114 installed before reinstall of Windows xp when Gameex worked.

I tried Gameex 8.09, 8.10 and 8.12, is it possible to get 8.02 or near to try with?

Sincerely

Updated Info 2

I have now played around the settings in Gameex and the Error unknown option: -artwork is now gone but still some problems. When i loading a game, the game starts up and jumps back to Gameex or i getting the error below, but if Gameex starts a game in attractmode, the game starts up fine but jumps back to Gameex if i try to start it.

I have also tried disclaimer setting on and off in Gameex, but did not do any difference at all.

Any ideas?

Sincerely

Blacktiger
