Some games in mame dont load

[debutvm]

Okay, I just turned off all of the game filters and what not that hide some of the games. I now have my centipede rom coming up on the list , which is good, but when i open it, it acts as if it is loading then will return back to gameex. This is not the only game that does it, i believe alot of the pacman games do the same thing. They were working fine before i started using gamex, but then again i switched to the new build of mame at the same time i switched to gameex. I really dont know what could be the problem. Im not saying that it is gameex's fault, but maybe someone out here knows whats up. Thanks guys,

ps: great program

Since upgrading to the new version of Mame, did you try going to the command line and running the problematic games? It's not unusual for the MAME team to change things about the ROM sets that cause something that worked before to stop. If that's the case, running MAME from the command line would show you the ROM problems.

Thanks Rob. For your info. Its worth pointing people to the run last game batch file in the GameEx program group. This is what GameEx runs when launching any game for any system. Basically what I say is if it dont work with that its not a specific GameEx issue.

Also make sure you remove -ftr 1 and -skip_disclaimer if you are running .99u3 or .99u4. -ftr 1 was "fixed" in .99u3 and -skip_disclaimer was removed in .99u4
