New auto-update feature is veeery helpful Now we know if it's stuck or not.

Hey Tom

Have you had much sleep in the last week? Where do you find the time to do all the updates?

I just wanted to say Thank you for all your work, me and my kids have enjoyed our cab and GameEx makes it so much the better.

(My cab will be online most of the time now)

Owh, I have a problem with the auto update. I'm a reg'd user and have never had a problem updating until this morning.

Last night I updated to 8.48 with no problems. Then this morning 8.49 wouldn't update. It gave me the following message - see attached file.

Any clues?

- dial

edit - Changed it to 'Ask me if I want to update' and I updated within GameEx and it seems to be ok. However the "Update on startup mode" won't work. Strange.

Thats the standard message it gives if it encounters a problem. It was probably just a temporay connection problem. If it persists please let me know, but it might just be your internet connection dropped It runs exactly the same code with automatice update without prompt, so i think thats it.

This is now fixed in the latest release.

I just .50 and I'm have the following issues:

1. (following from the jukebox: full albums thread: I didn't think to check those categories, cos I was fixated with folders shown like in Mame.) The category feature would be fine, except that I get different content showing in different ones as well as truncated content - for example 'album' nothing showing for one, but in 'artist' one track (out of several in the actual folder) showing. However, the biggest thing is once a track starts - and it's an automatic random thing once the list loads - it sticks on that track. No others will play.

2. (long-standing) Except for not having most of the folder options (atari, golden age, etc) showing, I'm using default game listing settings, and there are games missing from various subfolders.

No offence but this is not the correct thread for this. This is release notes for a version of GameEx.

Thanks Tom. I'm really enjoying these updates. It's great to see GameEx is still going strong.

But don't overwork yourself!

Na, that's cool. Hard to tell the organisational principles around here. Feel free to move, etc, any of my posts per your preference.
