NEWS: GameEx 9.26 Released

[Tom Speirs]

13th May, 2008 - GameEx 9.26

Fixes .lnk files not working in 9.25

When viewing by system in favorites the system image will now be displayed

For registered users 7-Zip support has been extended to support zip files. Allowing zip support in emulators that don't support zips

Flag ICONS are now shown when listing 7-zip goodmerge files on the game information screen

Fixes memory leak when launching MAME with the Bypass setting turned on. This could stop GameEx working after a couple of days of continuously launching games (eg screensaver). Therefore its recommended to update to this version

The default game pad exit combination has been changed to also include button 1

After update I'm unable to start GameEx. Anyone else having problems? I tried changing themes and resolutions but had no success. Here's the error I'm getting.

How did you update?

Can you try a manual install.
