I'm not sure what's going on but since updating some of my systems aren't displaying any game info on the game info screen, I've checked N64 and SNES and they're aren't working but NES seems to be.

I have a rom 'Super Mario 64.zip' which definitely used to have info displayed and the N64 MDB has it list as 'Super Mario 64' yet GameEx can't seem to find the info anymore.

I never got a chance to update to 9.95 so I'm not sure if it's 9.96 or 9.95 that this started happening.

Thanks

It will be the latest.

Can you delete the cache files in the date folder, and try.

Then post the log.

Super Mario 64 is displaying the info just fine on my end.

Deleting the cache files fixed it

Thanks for making it faster! I don't know if it was this release or one of the other two recent updates, but I noticed an issue with snaps/titles displaying not displaying on the main list of games for a Goodmerged set. When selecting a game to see the various clones, the artwork then displays. This only seems to be happening with Goodmerged sets other sets are fine.

Hey Tom I did some tests today and noticed it was still quite slow after the update even after exiting and going back in. I then deleted the cache files and ran it only took 23 seconds first time, then second time 14 seconds.

I've noticed it's only cached EMU_41 to EMU_47 but I have 77 emu's enabled (albeit as testing only with no actual ROMs). If that is okay, it's a very big improvement, although it may have been an issue with the cache before as well.
