Mame roms Don't load

[Oddie]

I have just installed the latest GameEx and setup through both the wizard and advanced settings. GameEx loads but when selecting "All Mame Games" or any of the other categories it seems to load a black screen then 5 seconds reverts back to the menu.....

What I have done.

Removed the old version of GameEx

Installed the new version of GameEx

Run through setup Advanced setup and Wizard

Many setting changes including Defaults for everything and Theme changes.

Log File reports no errors:

When running Mame32 all games load and run.

Running the above command: "E:\Emulators\Mame32\Mame32.exe MAMEAll -rompath F:\Mame32\roms -triplebuffer -nowindow -joy" << Does nothing in command

I just Donated to this software too......

When Selecting "All Mame Games" there is a screen that comes up, It's a picture of controlls and on those each button has "88 games" nest to it..... Then it minimises to a black screen then comes back to the GameEx menu.

I do not understand MAMEALL option and it will not do anything. Try replacing MAMEALL with SF2 in the above command?

Are you roms really on F:\ drive?

Did you do an updatelist in Gameex after changing your gamepaths?

[Oddie]

They are located in the F:\

The updatelist I can not locate though in settings: hide updatelist = NO......

Where is it located?

[Will]

Update is on the main menu.

Looks to me like you just have a bad MAME32 command line. Try your command outside of GameEx (from in the GameEx program directory), get that working, then add it to GameEx.

[Oddie]

Looks like its missing from the main menu.

I've tried adding and removing it..... I'll keep trying.... Maybe a full removal from regestry and everything then reinstall.....

Should Mame need to run when just viewing the rom list???......

Hi Oddie,

This sounds very odd. I suggest tbe following:

Unintstall again, but then delete the gameex folder c:\program files\gameex

Then install again.

I suspect this is caused from an upgrade from a older version, and an old configuration setting.

As the programmer I do understand what your saying, and what is happening just dont know why. Anyway try the above.

Thank you very much. It seems there was a mixture of versions there as when i loaded the new install the animations where very different.

I now have many options and menus and I am currently updating my Roms List.

Well worth the donation
