HI,

switched gameex (5.24) to attract mode (just 1/1 video/ games)

When demoing any game I´d like to play a game.

After the set time GAMEEX jumps back to menu/the next video, so you lose your credit and the game aborts.

Any solution for this?

BTW: GAMEEX is an awesome frontend!!!!!

Yeah, I saw the threads of this...

To my setup:

I am playing around with MAME and GAMEEX to prepare a MAME CAB that does not exist yet.

I run MAME 0.102

and GAMEEX 5.24

THere are no Controllers hooked up yet - everything is key only.

No Key patchers , no specially "work around drivers" etc.

?

Hi Tom,

thats funny: installed gamex on my office desktop pc and tried to configure it the same way (though it has different paths of course).

(both with win xp pro)

Gotcha... playing games from "attract mode" works fine.

So probably we´ll never find out whats going on exactly...

Anyway: is there a way (feature request) that after playing a game (lets say 3-4 minutes) GAMEEX Menu starts again?

Best regards!

ULI
