Problem copying Config

[GoTheBunnies]

I use an old PC for testing changes that I make to my GameEx setup before I implement the changes in my cabinet. This approach is useful for when I'm trying to get new emulators up and running etc.

I've spent ages getting my Zinc set-up just right on the test PC, and am now trying to get it running on the cabinet. For whatever reason, I can't get the Playstation games to show in the list, and I'm thinking that I may have forgotten something that I did in the original set-up, even though I try to document what I'm doing along the way.

Here's what I've done - I've copied all my Zinc roms (numbers, not names) into the same directory as my Mame roms, and changed the Zinc settings under 'Advanced Mame Config' (I'm sure that when I did this when testing, and then updated my Games List, a new category appeared called 'Playstation Games'. Not this time). I've made sure that my GameEx configs are identical for the Zinc setup (I've done this step manually - I haven't copied any files from one PC to the other). I've verified my set-up - no errors. I've made sure both PC's are running the same version of GameEx. Both PC's are also running the same theme.

Despite all this, when I run an 'Update Games List' I don't get a 'Playstation Games' option on the menu. I must be missing something basic?

Would it help if I copied the config files from one PC to the other. If so, how do I do that (ie which directories need to be copied).

Let's take a sec and make sure all the games show up in the "All MAME Games" list. Can you see Mr. Driller at all?

.:EDIT:. now that you mention it, I don't have that list either, and I don't see my PSX games in the list anywhere.

Hey I worked it out! There's an option under 'Enable/Disable Features' called 'Hide Zinc' - I had it set to Yes on the cabinet - changed it, and now the PSX games show up. Kinda strange I thought, given that I'd said under 'Advanced Mame Settings' to use Zinc, that I still had to flick another switch to Show Zinc. Anyway, all sorted!

I'll have to check that. If it works out I'll come back and mark this thread as [resolved]. Thanks!
