Hey guys! Here I am with another odd problem lol.

I got me a new graphics card (3850 to be exact) because it was on sale. I decided it would be best to pop my AM2+ mobo back in because the X2 in it is a little more powerful then the old 939 X2 that was in it. So I had to re-install XP. I moved my GameEx folder to a new HDD to back it up. Formatted then moved my GameEx folder back over everything worked perfectly. However GameEx takes a few to load up and during attract mode (GameEx screensaver) I'll get a random blank screen until a new game comes up. I deleted just about every cache file and it still doing it :( Any ideas? Her eis my log

It looks pretty normal to me. The delays in the screensaver are caused by the relaunch of hideos (you have show desktop set for the emulators) and validating the emus for the first time. I do see that it takes a long time to load the start page though. That would account for the slow loading. Are you using custom menus?

Thanks for the quick reply Tom! I'll look into the show desktop settings on my emulators that makes sense to me. As for using custom menus I am actually. Is there something in there that could be causing this?

Tom - Are you thinking that he may be experiencing some issues as a result of custom menus and possibly related to the issue I had initially reported that Ben confirmed?

There could be but I dont think its anything you have done.

Please try the latest version and if there is still slow startup post the usual files.

I thought the issue was related to emulator databases?

There were several parts to what I had reported as they all appear to coincide. The first was the issue with the database switching intermittently between the good name and file name.

The second was continued issues with the emulator assignments not updating correctly after a sort when custom menus are in use. If I make any sort changes in GameEx, I have to load the Menu Editor and correct the assigned logos, emulator #, etc. Sometimes I have to go back and forth between the two several times as there will be other discrepancies in the executable assigned within a specific emulator or other path changes that were part of the previous emulator assignment for that number.

In trying to manually correct the second issue within the gameex.ini itself, a 3rd issue became apparent to me. As I was trying to locate the necessary data elements within the ini to change, I noticed that the order of data elements was not consistent from emulator to emulator listed. Ben had noted to me that this was OK and that it wasn't meant to be read (by human eyes I am assuming), but as part of troubleshooting, human eyes have to read these entries and if there is not a prescribed order that the data is listed, this makes it confusing and more difficult to troubleshoot and easier to miss something to resolve an error.

Can you try turning off custom menus temporarily to see if the startup delay does lay there? It shouldnt take 20+ seconds. Can you also post custommenu.in?

Can you try turning off custom menus temporarily to see if the startup delay does lay there? It shouldnt take 20+ seconds. Can you also post custommenu.in?

Cheers.

Tom.

You're welcome - also, placed your custommenu.ini in spoiler. To do so, simply place the word spoiler between [ and ] at the beginning of the text to "be spoiled" and end with /spoiler between [ and ] at the end.

-volume -32

I don't think it's related but shouldn't this switch be:

-volume 32

instead? I mean maybe not, because I don't use a volume switch in my command line, but I thought that may produce a MAME error.

.:EDIT:. I guess not:

Description

Volume sets the volume level strangely enough! (note the sarcasm!). It's measured in db therefore a negative value will decrease the volume and a positive value will increase it. It can be changed in game by pressing the "tilde" (¬) key as well.

Alternative Command

-vol

Example

mame <gamename> -volume -5

Command Format

<gamename> -volume <value> . The value is a whole number and is rated in db therefore each number doubles the increase/decrease in volume. The example will halve the volume five times.

MAME's Default Setting

0

Does this mean you're halving the volume 32 times then?

I have no clue man lol. Mame seems to run very good without errors. It's just GameEx seems to take a bit to load up.

I think I might have fixed it. I noticed Fusion was acting silly so I deleted it's cfg file and reconfigured the settings. Loaded up GameEx and it seemed to load right up tried it twice to make sure. Could this have really been the problem?

*Spoke too soon. It's doing it again :(*
