  1. Hello I decided to add some new games to my cabinet after a long while and it looks like a newer version of gameex changed the way artwork gets downloaded from emumovies. Before all I had to do was point the app at a folder where I would put my new rom, select the artwork specific wanted and download just for the roms im working with. Now it launches the client and scans all 3,800 of my games it takes forever I have to have my incomplete games in the folder with my complete ones I got no options and it doesnt seem to download manuals. My question is: anyway I can get the old app back? thanks!
  2. Sooo gameex update came out so after installing it and self rebooting it asked to do it again...and again..and after like the 5th time it completly corrupted my install. So I reinstalled gameex and tried to restore my origional setup and it corrupted that as well. Now im in full panic mode because it looks like Ill have to start from scratch
  3. ok here is config dxdiag to show my hardware and log. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide. I also think it bears mentioning that this long wait time doesnt only happen the first time I boot gameex and bring up on of those lists it happens when I select a game from the list as well as when I back out of the game sub menu to return to the list and its constant it never catches up or goes faster. Its a bit of a buzz kill to select something wait 3-5 minuets, select something else wait 3-5 minuets, back out wait ect ect. especially when steam or orgin is already loaded in the background and actually launching the game has no slow down at all just navigating the menus in gameex seems to for those particular lists. I included some of my theme and costume menu settings as well because it seems more noticable since I updated my theme. Anyways thanks for help lot me know if anything else is needed.

  4. Hello, ive noticed an issue ive been having with Gameex and that is if my game lists contain any games that use online services like steam or origin my game lists take allot longer to load. Sometimes up to 5 minuets while my other emus/groups load instantly. When I take my CPU offline though they load normally like any other list. I also noticed that on these lists gameex tends to scan multiple unrelated folders before bringing up the list of games. Is that normal? Its late and I am on a different CPU so I wont be able to post my ini log files or dxdiag ect but I wanted to post the question anyways just to get it out there. Ill follow up tomorrow with whatever relevant logs and info I can find. Thanks!
  5. thank you very much Tom I appreciate it!
  6. ps all my steam games are on my local C: drive in default directory
  7. Hello I just went on a bit of a Steam shopping spree for my Arcade cab and after installing my games I went into gameex and noticed my games where not being added to my list. So first I ran the games in steam with no luck. Then I deleted one of the games from steam and reinstalled and no luck so then I deleted steamdatav2 and ran gameex and all my steam games where gone from my list and it did not create a new steamdata ini file. So after that I deleted my steam media folders to see if it rebuilt that and it did it just wasnt creating a steam ini file. Ill attach my gameex ini and log any help is appreciated. Let me know if anything else is needed GameEx.ini log.txt
  8. Thanks kindly that did the trick! By the way a couple more questions. Whats the emulator number for EA origin? I know steam is 1002. Also I got a new theme added and for some reason it takes very long to load certain emulators and groups since I got it. (Space Invaders HD) anyone run into that?
  9. Anyone else have problems with video playback in gameex? My game demo video playback is a glitchy with video stutter and random pixels even though the source video plays fine in Windows Media Player. Seems to have occured a few updates ago.
  10. So BlueMSX is probably the best Colecovision emulator out there. But my issue is the audio keeps stuttering. Anyone use this emulator before and perhaps found a good sound/performance configuration? Been fooling with the settings for hours and still cant get my audio to sync up right. Any help much appreciated.
  11. Awesome thanks for the Fix I was just about to post about this as I was having the same issue even when I didnt have SSF in my emulator list it was crashing with gameex.
  12. I feel like a total noob but I cant seem to figure out how to respond to the Suggestion thread like I can on my thread. There is no post reply section on the bottom of the page. I was also thinking about adding a suggestion of having CRT shaders built into gameex. I think that would be really cool. Especially for my Atari 2600. As far as my videos Im just getting new ones in MP4 format instead of FLV and so far so good. I wish I knew of an easy way to give my display a CRT like effect but so far everything I have come across has been waaay to advanced for me and extremely time consuming. I know some individual emulators have those settings but it would be nice to have a universal one I could set up for the sake of consistency. I know regret getting a cabinet kit that only allowed for a flat screen and wish I would have found one with a CRT monitor. sigh.
  13. Thanks Draco, I will check this out and then report back. And for those new that need help figuring out map file here is all you have to do to change the name of your MAME file in Gameex. For an example we will take Pac Man. So first you take a notepad file and you copy all the file names of all the MAME roms you want to name change. And you only got to do the ones you want to show up in your list. So if you got to get Puck Man to get the file to work and you got the Midway Pac Man rom as well then you just got to type in the notepad the rom name | and what you want to name it. So install both Puckman and Pacman in your mame rom folder and then put pacman|Pac-Man Do this for every rom you want to show up in gameex under that certian emulator and save it to C: Gameex Data emulators and give it a name like [Arcade] MAME.mdb and make sure to turn on file extensions in Windows so you can change it from .txt to .mdb. then go into your advanced emulator settings and set the map directory to the .mdb file you just created! Figured id offer some advice to now Gameex enthusiasts since I didn't find it described that easy when I was looking myself.
  14. Thank you for all the replies. I was able to figure out how map files work so I have that going on at least. I can make due with setting other versions of MAME as emulators and then creating a group and fixing the names in MAP. But it would be a great feature to be able to simply add more than one MAME exe and more than one ROM path to the main gameex install. I think allot of really good themes get unused because of this because many of them focus on only running a base MAME. I had to wade through several till I found one that worked great with my unconventional setup. Is there a way I can request a feature like that? A certain email address? Right now im struggling with videos and might make another topic if I cant figure it out. My old FLV files dont want to play in gameex but the MP4 ones I download to emu movies work just fine. Tried shark 007 codecs and its seemed to cause more problems then solved so I uninstalled it. Those codecs have malware in them by the way so I kinda think its a bad idea to have them linked to in the Gameex setup. Maybe because I got VLC installed, maybe my codecs are wrong or maybe my files are just corrupt. Tried converting the FLV to MP4 and the play fine on my PC but Gameex doesnt like them for some reason. Im going to change the title of this thread as a general help thread for my project and people can respond if they know the answer and want to help out. All help or suggestions are appreciated and thanks for being a great community!
