Problems getting GameEx to work

[Raitsa]

Hi guys.

I am having trouble getting GameEx (10.37 or any other versions) to work.

My Mame exe version is the latest MameXT 0.136 which works all ok and i can play all my games with that one.

But when i try to use my registered GameEx, it starts ok with the menus etc, but when i choose a game, game tries to start and all i get is an error report saying:

error: unknown option: -artwork

I have attached the log to help identify the cause.

I am using Windows7 Tiny7 rev01 as my operating system in my cabinet, with a dual x-arcade controller now being tried out.

Any ideas on what to try next guys?

Remove that option from the command-line.

Hey fRequEnCy, remove what from where? Please be more precise and newbie-friendly

This is how my command line(?) looks now:

-nowindow -joy -skip_gameinfo -ctrlr xarcade

Where should i go if thats not the right place to edit?

configuration:advanced Mame configuration-?

Hmmmm... I think I remember something like this before but can't find the thread right now. Select Don't Use Bezel dropdown in the Use Bezel setting found in the Advanced MAME Settings section. That may narrow it down at least.

Thanks, i did that and still it did not work but then i got another error that flashed on the screen very briefly which said something about the acrade.cfg file: i removed -ctrl xarcade from the command line and wow, now GameEx works and so does the Xarcade being tested (i have the default xarcade config file from xarcade site in ctrlr folder), strange but cool.

Thanks a lot for the help fRequEnCy!
