Tom, thank you very much for looking into this! I wasn't aware that you're on Windows 7 yourself. I can understand that pinning down a bug/problem like the one we're describing is very difficult, especially if you're not able to reproduce it on your machine(s). I'll gladly try to give as much info as i can.

Anway, here's two logs, one running mednafen and one running MAME. It looks as if the action that causes the delay in both logs is "Reinitializing Graphics System". I've noticed an odd entry in GBBBS's log: "-1434mb video memory available". IIRC a log of another user with the same problem shows an odd number as well. The equivalent line in my logs reads "1985mb video memory available". As i've written before, i think my GPU has 256MB dedicated memory, so the number strikes me as odd. Unfortunately i'm stuck with Lenovo's ancient graphics card driver as i need it for the "Switchable Graphics" functionality.

Let me know if you need more info and/or if there's anything i can tweak/try for testing.

EDIT: ah, i've just noticed the new exe's. The logs i've posted were created with the very first "special build" you've posted. I'll create logs with the new build now.

OK, here's two logs created with the new exe's. The delay is _much_ shorter now, according to the logs we're at ~5 secs now. Not perfect yet, but a definitive improvement :D! I dunno if this is due to caching or something, but launching GameEx and the emulators feels much more "snappy" now, too.

Id try turning off Gamepad support. Your not using it and it looks like it might be problem on your system.

Your also uising DirectDraw dont wait (tweaks). Which really should never be on. Its for 11 year old systems with basic graphics cards. Im guessing this is the issue.

Tom, thank you very much for looking into this! I wasn't aware that you're on Windows 7 yourself. I can understand that pinning down a bug/problem like the one we're describing is very difficult, especially if you're not able to reproduce it on your machine(s). I'll gladly try to give as much info as i can.

Anway, here's two logs, one running mednafen and one running MAME. It looks as if the action that causes the delay in both logs is "Reinitializing Graphics System". I've noticed an odd entry in GBBBS's log: "-1434mb video memory available". IIRC a log of another user with the same problem shows an odd number as well. The equivalent line in my logs reads "1985mb video memory available". As i've written before, i think my GPU has 256MB dedicated memory, so the number strikes me as odd. Unfortunately i'm stuck with Lenovo's ancient graphics card driver as i need it for the "Switchable Graphics" functionality.

Let me know if you need more info and/or if there's anything i can tweak/try for testing.

EDIT: ah, i've just noticed the new exe's. The logs i've posted were created with the very first "special build" you've posted. I'll create logs with the new build now.

I think I mentioned eaarlier, and this confirms it. It looks like the delay is when the keyboard is reinitializing. Any idea why that might be?

Not sure if you're talkin about my config or GBBBS's. Of course i'd like to use my controller devices in GameEx, i've disabled support for testing only. It's also possible that i have disabled some other stuff when initially searching for the cause of my troubles. I've now re-enabled controller support in GameEx and have changed the "DDraw wait" option.

From the logs i was assuming the problem is connected to my graphics card, but i may be wrong of course. Actually, i have two devices connected to my system that may be problematic: a Xbox 360 controller via the XBCD driver and a Logitech G13. Both devices (and a few others) are connected to the machine via an USB hub. Yesterday i've noticed that when the 360 controller is connected via the USB hub it won't work after returning to GameEx from an emulator. This doesn't happen when the controller is connected to a USB port on the notebook. It may also be interesting that the XBCD driver "creates" two Windows devices for the controller (German device names): one "HID-konformer Gamecontroller" and one "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows". Additional devices are created by the the G13 drivers: a "Logitech G13 Joystick" and a "Logitech Gaming Virtual Mouse" (there's also an entry for the keypad). These two devices are "dummies" - they are not active unless controls are mapped to the G13 thumbstick.

If the problem is connected to the controller(s), would it be possible to skip initializing the devices when returning to GameEx, for testing? Or is there maybe a way to make the init less "agressive"?

Anyway, here's a new log with the "new" GameEx settings. Hope it helps you in identifying the problem. Thanks again for taking the time to look into this.

Tom, here are logs for both the special version you've posted above (log-01.txt) and the new GameEx that has been released recently (log-02.txt). The wait time has decreased, but it's still very noticeable. Here's to hoping that you can decrease it even more :).

Tom, i'd like to wrap this up by reporting that with recent GameEx versions the problems i was reporting are completely solved. GameEx is running smoothly on my system, even with all my gizmos (G13, gamepad, USB mouse and keyboard, etc.) connected. Everything is working as it should.

Thanks for listening to my complaints and fixing the problems.

And now, on to the monumental task of configuring everything... (;
