hideos.exe error

[chooka1]

Hey gang,

For some reason (posted previously) GAME EX started acting up. I think (FINGERS CROSSED) I got rid of the netzero broadcast error but I cant get rid of the Hideos.exe error when shutting down the computer from GAME EX. I went to microsoft and downloaded 2.0 (said I already had it installed). Was I downloading the wrong one? Any advice?

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the latest GAME EX a couple of weeks ago and I noticed it messed up a whole bunch of stuff. It changed my roms directories for daphne to a snes directory...stuff like that. Just curious.

Finally, does anyone know where to find snaps for the art/cabinet/control panel for dragons lair and space ace?

Thanks for your help!

As long as you have DX 9.0c and .NET 1 and 2 installed, you should be good to go for running GameEx. If you want to use video snaps for your games, you also need to install the codec that the videos use. Some features also require the FFDSHOW codec, so if you are using those features, you need to install the one either in the download section, or one from a good codec pack like CCCP (it's safer to use the one off this site because Tom has checked it extensively).

If things don't work correctly, you will get helped quicker and get actual results if you post the log file. Without it, people will just be throwing things out that could be related, but doing so blindly.

As for the snaps etc. for DL, I don't think you will get a link posted because the only place I'm aware of also hosts roms. Posting links to sites that host roms is a BIG no-no here, so...

I read somewhere awhile back that Gameex keeps track of games and emulators by number, I.E. Emulator 4,game13. So if you move your emulators around in the list it might mess things up. That may or not be the problem. It has been suggested to me, that If you don't want something overwritten, set it to read only. I went one step further, and made a copy of my Gameex directory before the update.

So far as snaps, this is a site recommended to me by Shaunopp:

They have a lot of stuff, and as far as I can tell, No Roms. If the do have roms, ban Shaunopp, not me!
