Raine

[Tempest]

I discovered this last night while setting up some artwork.

When I Choose "Emulated Games", then "Raine" in Gameex, when the menu switches over to the Raine games list, screen goes black, and I can hear Arkanoid in the background. Please note that I did not choose a game! Gameex shows minmized at the bottom of the screen, and the button says "GameEx|Raine|arknoid2|0/60|" Arkanoid is not the first game in the list, but is at the top of the list because I have "show last game" set to true. When I start the task manager, Gameex is running, but not Raine, which indicates to me that Arkanoid isn't really running, and that the sound I here is from the video.

Ok, I figured out a little more, so all of that typing above was probably un-necessary...

My snap path is: C:\MameUI32\snap

If I Eliminate the snap path, this doesn't happen.

My snaps are unzipped, in .png format. What's up?

Brian if you can answer this in 60 seconds or less, I'll send you a dollar....ready? GO!

Do you have Avi previews?

Do you have Avi previews?

Thats exactly what I was going to say. Sounds like GameEx is trying to play a preview video and cant.

Great minds think alike I guess

Do you have Avi previews?

Maybe....What's an AVI Preview?

I was dinking around yesterday, trying to get the artwork for the "N" emulators that I setup. When I got done, I "verified paths" in the setup wizard, and found some paths that were wrong since I re-installed Mame. While doing that, I do remember seeing something about AVI previews, and I may have even change something, but know I can't find that option.

Where is it?

What does it do?

What should my settings be?

I do have the Emu videos collection, and they do work in mame... But in Raine, (after I was having problems) I set the the snap/video path to my snap.png folder, and it didn't help.

Heres my CFG just to be safe:

In this path do you have any video files?

=C:\MameUI32\snap

[Tempest]

In this path do you have any video files?

=C:\MameUI32\snap

No, those are .png

My .avi are in C:\MameUI32\video snap (with a space, that doesn't matter does it?)

[Tempest]

MF...WTF....SOB....Mame is doing it too!

Does that help?

[Brian Hoffman]

MF...WTF....SOB....Mame is doing it too!

Does that help?

Well they do use the same path..

[Tempest]

Ok,

I did a little more checking...I do have video preview enabled for my emulators, I thought maybe you meant previews for videos, and I don't have videos enabled..does that make sense?

I also checked a couple of my .avi's, and they play in media player. My paths look right, they were working before, Obviously I did something, but what?

I was going to blame it on the latest update, but I already gave it a clean bill of health!

11:10 I Bump the topic

11:12 You have a coughing fit

11:18 I completed installing FFDshow (I already had it in my downloads file), and I'm back in business!

Why do you torture me all day like this?
