MAME In Menus

[Upo]

Hi there

I've been using GameEX for a while now, but although I had the following two features working perfectly on my previous cabinet, I can't seem to get it working with my new project. (registered user).

I have 2 problems, first, I've been using custom menus with all the relevant options activated, I want to use MAME under my games menu which works fine, but everytime I select MAME it just shows me the Update list option, where I have to update before I get my list. How can I get this list to stay without having to update it every time?

Secondly, on the start page, how can I get the random snapshot rotator back to where the MAME logo is?

Your help will be highly appreciated

For the first problem, I update the list and when it asks again a second time I just hit backspace and it doesn't ask me again until I change the MAME executable. Maybe you need to turn verify roms on?

For the first problem, the user ID that is running gameex does it have full permissions to write to the gameex folders? and mame?

Tried your suggestions, no success. What I've done instead is using the mame folders. Gave me a little more features on the menus, but it was a very long process. I initially only started to use the rom/zip names in the mames folder list, but then I still had to use the filter function not to get the additional sets on the sugesstions list. Problem with the filter function was that for example I have alot of Jap games (i.e. where only the jap games exits) etc. So my old way around that was to filter them (i.e Japan), but then exclude these games in the exclude filter option. Or I suppose you can NOT filter them and exclude the sets you want out which is what I've done. Very confusing I know. Anyways, problem solved.

I also have another question regarding menus. My screen flickers with white text, so I had to change the text colour to light grey on the theme I'm using, but now the suggestions screen text is still white! How do I change this text colour, is it also in the theme editor somewhere or do I use CPWizard? - Please advise?

Thnx
