Love the latest round of updates. All in all the system is running much better. I am experiencing a new issue though using the Vahalla theme. It is as if the menu transitions stopped working after the last update and the finstare ultra small almost out of whack with the background. So small that you cannot clcik on them to select anything.

Nothing else on the cab changed other than the update...any ideas?

Gratefull user,

Have you tried telling gameex not to switch resolutions? Or a choosing a default theme?

That comes first to mind...

Also a little more info about your hardware would be helpfull.

Thanks..pasted in the log. I have been a long time gamex user. I have not started to mess with any of the settings yet as this a function of the upgrade not anything on my side. At least I think. In regards to the hardware...there is more than enough here to handle gamex at the moment but you will see that in the logg...thanks for looking

Nice system slilkstic/Ultimarc ArcadeVGA2

This is what points to me first.

1) First there is the fact Valhalla theme is 1024 by 768. You can look at the top of the log.

2)Then toward the bottom you see this Device: Ultimarc ArcadeVGA2

21:16:16.3 7/19/2007: 133mb video memory available

21:16:16.7 7/19/2007: Setting Resolution to 800x600 32 bit color

This is probably the culprit... Change the theme to one that is 800x600 and SEE if it works.

I'am not thinking you changed your hardware config.. Tom has recently changed the way gameex changes resolutions to be more accurate especially when going from one emu to the next..

Anyways let me know if that works and we will go from there.

Within the Vahalla theme there is a config file that sets it to 800 X600,,,,granteed the theme is named diffrently. Theme has been set using this config file to the 800 X 600. I will change it for kicks...nope same thing menu do not display untill fire buttons are hit on controller one and then mini me menu appear.

It is something happening in the menu windowing and transition not sure how else to explain it.

Guys...did a windows rollback to a working version and menus camu up fine as they should in gamex...when I accpeted the latest update..gamex came back in with the screen tillted the wrong way I corrected it and the menu was blank as in the attached picture after clicking on the screen a minuture menu appears in the middle.

Not sure what is going on but I think something in one of the latest release is not interacting correctly with myy system any ideas on how to track it down?

Is it only this theme that has the problem?

Try deleting all the cached bitmaps from the data directory.

Also, can you post your gameex.ini file so I can try and duplicate the poblem.

Can you try turning off the 3D transitions.

Tom:

must be something in that vicinty. I could now see the clock and graphics for the game titles but they were way off center on the screen all the way to the right and nothing else was on the screen. Still not working correctly though

Can you replace GameEx.exe with the attached. Launch and post the log.

Thanks.

No luck here is the log.

Thank you

As I suspected I can see the problem. Its an issue with ArcadeVGA cards. The other post in the forum with the same issue is also running an ArcadeVGA card.

i expect its buggy drivers, but the card is reporting that its running at a refresh rate of 200hz!!!

I can patch this in GameEx easily, and will do so now, but do you want to try and see if you can get newer drivers from Ultimarc?

Checked Ultimarc's or Andy's site there are no new drivers at this point for the card> If I am not mistaken he has a special driver he has written. I will take parts of this string and e-mail Andy. He has always been very helpful in the past had both his cards and other products...just great stuff in general.

Thanks,

Geoff

I agree completely. Its probably just a small driver bug.

Heres the specifics:

DirectDraw Display mode is reporting a refresh rate of 200hz.

(Im uploading the release with the patch now)
