possible gameex bug? karaoke not starting

[Tom Speirs]

Frequency/Gerble, On the other systems speed issue, did the new gameex.exe make any difference? The update was not for the Karakoe issue.

Frequency, you said you have the same issue as Gerble, can you try it?

i have just replaced the gameex,exe with the one you posted,i then loaded gameex,

and went into emulators fine then into snes and it cached for 20 mins,

OUCH

then i rebooted and it was a lot quicker,

i have uploaded 4 logs

in order as this

before changed gameex,exe

strait after changed gameex,exe

reboot 1

reboot 2

even the second reboot was quick,still a pause but reasonable

hope this helps

Good, looks like its working.

Ive tried to increase performance even further. By the look of your log once cached it looks like about 35 second. The attached should hopefully be quicker.

Can you try it please and post the log?

Thanks

i just tested 9.61 but still the same prob:

karaoke works in queue mode but nothing happens in instant mode (not even a message in the log)

instant play works in jukebox mode though

. Still no love from karaoke!

[Tom Speirs]

It was not supposed to be fixed in 9.61.

Please zip up and post your gameex.ini. If I can duplicate it I can probably fix it.

Look what you started chriss! LOL. . Poor Tom has to deal with both of us now.

[chriss]

let's try to make it a bit easier for tom and narrow the bug down...

freq, can you use the queue mode function or is that not working for you either?

Will check now. Log into IM if you can chriss.

[fRequEnCy]

Just tried and no luck with the way you suggested. That is of course I did it the right way. I select Queue Mode, select some songs, then click Start Karaoke?

[chriss]

yeah exactly, thats how i did it and it worked for me... so it seems there are two issues with karaoke possibly.

IM is on but didn't receive a message from you yet

i just updated to 9.62 but still no luck with instant play and karaoke. now tom i don't wnat to annoy you with this problem...

if there is anything else I could try out, please let me know.

How do I reinstall gameex? Just uninstall completetly, then replace the gameex.ini? or am I missing something then? could this even change anything?

Yes Tom that was the fix! Figured it out a few days ago. And told Chriss I had a fix for him. I didn't post cuz no one else seemed to be having the issue or was into the karaoke thing. LOL.

Good. Ive set GameEx to turn that off in the registry everytime it launches. So theres not even a need to add a FAQ item now.

Nice. Thanks Tom! I wish we could have figured it out for Chriss a lot sooner since he's the one who really needed it for this karaoke parties.

Hey guys,

i wish i could report success, but i still have the same issue

wmp plays cdg files fine but when i try to click on a song in gameex it's not doing anything. a strange thing i noticed... in setup wizard i set gameex to instantly play songs but inside gameex its set to queue mode. anyway queue mode works fine but when i set it to instant play selection inside gameex it does not work

I guess something is wrong with my whole setup... everything else like emulators and radio and so forth works

but when i updated to the newest version i got an error message about a missing hiscore txt file in the gameex data folder. i fixed this issue by creating the file... if there was just a similar easy way to fix karaoke

I had that same problem when updating to the newest version as well. I just did a manual install and it took care of it. Not sure if that will help with your karaoke issue but here's hoping.

Chriss,

This may well be fixed in the latest version. Can you try?
