Hey guys, Im trying to figure out an issue ive had since i recently did an update. My gameex hasnt been updated since the 10.30 series and since updating, the "please wait while loading"screen stays on for about 20 minutes before it actually loads. Ive never had this issue before. I also have "verify roms" turned off to speed things up. While its loadings, it doesnt even start the music, which normally starts the jukebox from my mp3 list. From the logs, it looks like theres some issue loading emulators, which ive never had an issue before with. The log isnt complete because i have to force quit the program, or wait 15 minutes for it to load! Any info would be great!!

I also had issues with it taking a verrrrry long time to load with recent updates. The solution for me was to reboot and it went back to normal. Nothing in my log was very helpful either. So it was a last resort. Give it a try. Wouldn't hurt. ;)

Is that the full correct log? Its very strange, because it should not be validating emulators at that stage.

That is the full log, until i ended the task, (i was sick of waiting, lol!). I had to end the task because it appeared to be hanging, but if i left it for another 10-15 minutes, it would finally load. It looks like it slows down during the verification part. I did try turning off the game extender, but not the music. I will give that a shot. Ive also reinstalled the software several times and rebooted a few times as well!
