Anyone know if there is going to be another update to GameEx that resolves the compatibility of DirectX 10 on XP. I got effing tricked into installing 10 instead of 9.0c.

Here's what I've been getting since I installed direct 10 and updated gameex with the new update:

22:58:18.3 3/2/2008: ERRORS DETECTED: EXITING

It was working before both of them. Now i can get in some times, but my game pad doesn't work in game ex very well and I get no picture from any emulator (nestopia, znes) WTF!!

Pisses me off cause i got all the emulators and controls working on my new mini-itx machine I built specifically to run GameEx. Took me a weekend to get everything right. :angry:

No body is running into this problem? :(

Hi,

Not personally, but have you tried uninstalling DirectX 10? Never tried it myself, but I imagine if you got to Add/Remove programs, tick show updates at the top, you should get an option to roll back. It was like that with Media PLayer 10, I remember, but I don't know about DirectX.

Good luck!

Johnny

Just realized, this is already being addressed in another topic. http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=5068

Wow. DX10 on XP.. Didn't think it would install on an XP machine.. Either way, just uninstall her and install latest DX9.0c Nov 2007 Redist and it'll fix you up.
