"Play Random Game" always plays a sega genesis game

[daweinst]

I have GameEx set up with 5 emulators:

MAME32 (Arcade)

Fusion (Sega Genesis)

Project64 (N64)

Nestopia (NES)

SNES9x (SNES)

All of them work great and GameEx has been working very smoothly loading them perfectly when i pick games. When I try to play a random game, it always loads up Fusion and plays a Genesis game. Any ideas why, and how I can make it pick a game from any of the 5 emulators?

Also the screen saver only plays MAME games, even though the "Also Other Emulators" is set to "yes" in the setup wizard.

Thanks,

Dan

Perhaps the majority of your roms are genesis roms... I dont seem to have that issue. As far as the screensaver goes perhaps its again just dumb luck.

You can post your gameex.ini here for us to double check tho

I have 330 Mame games, 966 NES games, 948 Genesis games, 845 SNES games, and 315 N64 games (wow that feels kind of good to write )so it's not a function of me having way more genesis roms than other systems. I've tried it enough times now where I'm fairly certain it only plays Genesis games. Same with the screen saver only playing MAME.

What's the best way for me to show you my GameEx.ini file? I tried to upload it and attach it to this post but I got this message:

Error Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload this type of file. It's really long so I don't want to copy and paste the whole thing. Is there a certain section I should copy and paste?

Yes, you can use the CODEBOX feature of the board.. Or you can zip the file and attach it.

for fun you can always disable fusion and try the random game just for kicks.. same with the screensaver

Happy Gaming

On the last page of the setup for your emulators are the options to "Play in Screensaver" and "Random/Most Played", set both of those to "yes". You can do it quickly in the setup wizard, goto Custom > Emulator Setup, then page 4.

Select your emulator from the drop down list, make the changes and repeat.
