Weird GameEx behavior

[Domia]

Hi all,

I've been messing with PC games setup in GameEx for 2 weeks now so maybe I messed up something but here is what happens when I run GameEx:

I have on the main menu: All mame games, Nintendo 64 games and 2 or 3 PC games, lets say I want to play a Mame game I select Mame which gives me the list of roms, I select the game I want which takes me to the Info page with the "play this game" option and this is where the weirdness begins.. )

If I press "play this game" nothing happens, I cannot go down to "Add to Favorites" but I can go up to "Back" and other options which work fine. If I use the mouse clicking on "play this game" doesnt do anything as well but if i mouse over "Add to favorites" I hear a sound (as if a key is stuck on the keyboard)

If this is not strange enough I now figure out that by going back to the main menu then trying again 2 or 3 times will unlock everything then all problems are gone and GameEx runs fine.

I was tempted to un-install then do a fresh install of GameEx but I'm afraid to lose my settings I worked for so long on!

Thank you for your help,

Dominique

This sounds like it might be that text is missing from a language file or custom text. Did you modify the language/text used in GameEx, and blank out an entry?

I went through the text without finding any missing entries but let me tell you what I did which solved this problem: I deleted a group I had created with 2 PC games in it and VOILA... the weird behavior is gone, all my PC games are now created as "treat as PC game" YES and now they all start fine. When I'm done setting them all I will need to group them again and I'll update you with what I find.

Thx for your help
