in your emulator configuration, there is a place to choose "Map File" Browse to:

C:\Program Files\GameEx\MAP FILES

And select the map file you want to use. There is a little quirk in Gameex, After you select the file it wil show nameofmapfile.map, delete the .map extension so that it reads nameofmapfile.

Gameex adds the extension on, and if you don't delete it it will be nameofmapfile.map.map

Hi Tempest, and first of all thanks for your reply!!!

I tried your solution, but i have a problem.

I tried the map files both in nes emulator and genesis emulator.

Yes, in gameex apears the list filtered, BUT, in nes emulator, when i try to open a rom, the name of the rom don't match with the name of the rom in my rom folder, and the emulator can't find and open the rom.

In genesis emulators, apears in the screen the text "hard reset" and the rom don't open.

It seems the map file roms name don't match with the name of my roms directory.

What can i do to solve this problem?

options...

1.You can rename your roms to match the Map file, this can be done using the appropriate dat, and a program like Romcenter, or Clearmamepro. Most people like the No-intro dats, google it!

But if you have to rename your roms anyway...

2.Adultery started a thread with dats for cabinets here:

http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=5071

If you use these, it will only leave the one best game, and you won't need a map file.

3. Depending on what your romnames look like, You may be able to sort the ones you want out by *(u)* for U.S. or whatever region you are looking for, but the dat files may be best, because they will include a rom from Europe (E) if there wasn't one made for the U.S. (U) I hope that makes sense.

I hope this helps, because it seems confusing to me! :(
