Possible bug when using Emulator Groups

[ehuonder]

I'm not sure if this is user error and improper use of Emulator Groups, or if it is a bug...

I just greatly modified my GameEx.ini file, but mostly formatting and comments. I also started adding Emulator groups,

which I just have set up with 1 emulator each, just to get the Emulator on the first Menu. When I have the Emulator groups

turned off, GameEx works fine. But when I set the Emulator groups Enable=true, when ever I select any game (from the Emulator

group OR normal emulators), GameEx crashes. I've attached my log file and my gameex.ini.

Thanks for your help!

Also: It may be due to me trying to use Emulator groups with only 1 emulator. I have to add the separator semicolon after my 1 emulator,

otherwise it does not show up in the menu.

In case you aren't aware, you can put emulators/apps/etc anywhere you want now. There are custom menus available that allow you to arrange things almost any way you want. If you are truly using grouped emulators for the sole purpose of having them show up in a specific location, you might consider switching your methods. Just a thought

Thanks for the comment bkenobi.

I am aware of the Custom Menus that Tom has added. I think they are a great idea. However, until I am able to use

custom backgrounds with each menu, I'm staying with the version 4 theme. I've got too much time into my custom theme

to ditch it now...

I didn't think it was an either/or kinda thing. I was pretty sure the only thing you wouldn't have is a custom menu for each page/folder of your menu. You should still have custom backgrounds for all emulators and such. I could be wrong cause I'm not using custom backgrounds currently, but I don't see why Custom Menus would change that.

Yes, correct. Custom backgrounds are still the seame for emus and the modules. Or at least should be.

Well that changes things! I misinterpreted Tom's reply to my earlier post regarding the Custom menus and custom backgrounds.

I'll try that route.

Thanks.

Yep, Custom Menus solve my issues! Thanks!
