Rom Issues

[GMaine]

I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time. Some of my Mame roms won't play from the Gameex menu. It just goes blank for a second or two then right back to Gameex. They play just fine when I check them thru mame32. If you can give me any ideas to check I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Have you tried using the RUNITGAME.bat ? or Run LAST GAME.bat and see the error?

I'm not familiar with that. How do you do that?

Or check/post the log in log.txt to see if there's any mention of the game not launching correctly.

Well. there are a couple ways.

1. In the start menu>programs>gameex> you will see a few items. Run Last Game should be in one of those groups.

2) In the C:\Program Files\Gameex directory (maybe a sub directory) you will find a RUNITGAME.BAT

This batch file holds the last command used to load a game.

If you open a command prompt and run the batch file, it will tell you where the error is.

Perhaps, a clone is trying to be launched rather than a parent rom.
