Incredibly Annoying Problem

[TalkingBull]

I have GameEx installed on a touchscreen system I built and I am using it to run Windows games (Gamehouse and Yahoo-type games). It works great for this purpose but I have a problem. I want to run the attract mode or any screensaver really but it won't let me. I guess GameEx overrides the Windows screensaver... So I threw some ROMS and the up-to-date set of MAME32 files in there but for some insanely annoying reason, nothing I do will get GameEx to list any games! The program (MAME32) works fine independently but not under GameEx. It simply will not list the games (Says no games exits). I know I have this set up properly; all my directory/paths are correct, all the roms are in there.... it just won't work! I either need help getting this to work or a way around the attract mode so the Windows screensaver can take over.

Silly question, did you set all the rom paths/executable paths in mame settings (gameex) and then use the update roms?

If so, you are really best to use a standard version of mame (a command line one).

COMMAND LINE WORKED!!!

I didn't even try that because I have 32, advance, zinc, etc... running on my MAME machine.

Thanks for the help!
