Older gameex versions?

[StreaK]

Looking for older gameex version, do we have some repository with older gameex files?

[Brian Hoffman]

Not unless you want me to fire up my old arcade

I have read before that the belief that supporting old builds hindered the future development of the project, if people just opted to use old builds because of speed or relability it would cause people to simply just move backwards instead of forwards.

That said..... What were you looking for and why? Perhaps we can help.

[Tom Speirs]

I generally dont provide older builds, as Im normally happy to address anything that would require an older build. Otherwise as Brian stated.

Perhaps you could explain why you would like an older build?

Its been an issue for a LONG time, possably forever. That said, you can either A ) Wait for Tom to fix it (he is usually pretty quick once he discovers its a real issue) or B ) Copy the contents of the DVD to your HD into a folder called ROMS then burn the ROMS folder to a new DVD. Then set your rompath to E:\ROMS\ then see if that works.

any possibility to use SUBST command, anyone tried this?

[Brian Hoffman]

the SUBST command usually takes a FOLDER and assigns it to a drive letter. Thus making your folder the root of the drive, thus giving you the same problem, gameex reading roms from the root of a volume.

We want to read the roms from a subfolder in the root. eg e:\roms\

Its worth a shot if you got a blank dvd and 15 minutes of time to kill.

You can mount a folder or drive to a specific location. It's possible that you could mount your DVD root folder to c:\DVD_ROMS for instance. Then point GameEx to that folder. I don't know of a quick way off the top of my head to call that mounting point via a command line, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

EDIT: A quick google search found this:

http://ss64.com/nt/mountvol.html

Looks to me like you could call:

MOUNTVOL C:\DVD_ROMS E:

Then when done:

MOUNTVOL E: /d

EDIT2: Hmmm, I tried this and it didn't work for me. I know it can work, but I don't have any time right now to test further. The mountvol command is the answer though.
