  1. No, it doesn't take long, just a minor thing. My setup is an HTPC, so GameEx is opened and closed a lot.
  2. Small issue that's big enough just to get on my nerves... I load up GameEx, the intro video plays and I am presented with the main menu. No matter how long I wait, I click on "Emulated Games" and then browse through the consoles....then all of a sudden it says "loading databases" or whatever. I understand this is of course important, but is there a way to make it happen in the beginning instead of while I am browsing the games?
  3. Hey, Could have sworn it was working before, but I went to load "Asteroids" for the Atari 2600 and there was no sound. Going in to the options and disabling then re-enabling the sound fixed it. This was fairly odd, I played around with Stella outside of GameEx, sound worked fine every time. Took a look at what commands were being sent, everything looked fine. Then I went to look at available commands: http://stella.sourceforge.net/docs/index.html#CommandLine In particular: I set audiofirst to 0, and now it works perfectly....here's the kicker, I have an ATI video card... Any others experience this?

    OK...was still having problems loading some ROMs...would freeze during ram check of a game....or I would still get the random blank color screen. Changed fullscreen video settings to match windowed settings, "match machine resolution", turned off "vsync", left triple buffering off. Works flawless now...thought I had some bad ROMs, but it turned out to be incompatible video settings...

    Well I had played with that AutoPause setting before, seemed to have no effect. I switched to Nebula...just couldn't figure out why Kawaks was so dependent on Pause.... Nebula had problems of it's own....started off with a config from the setup wizard....ROMs would work in Gui mode 1 (window) perfectly, but ROMs would load to a blank colored screen in Gui mode 0 (full screen). Ended up going to EmuAsylum to grab the Bios files, but got the emulator straight from the official Nebula site. Got that all setup....same problem. I noticed the Nebula.exe began with an uppercase "N", while the nebula.ini and such began with a lowercase "n". So I changed that.....and guess what, it works..... Fusion, Project64, ZSNES, FCEUX, Stella, VisualBoyAdvance....all have been extremely easy to get working, except these two....

    WinKawaks

    Having an issue with WinKawaks. Got it all setup on its own, works fine. Now trying to run it through GameEx works, but only when I remove the "-fullscreen" command...which I definitely want to keep. The issue is when I have: "WinKawaks.exe" [ROM] -fullscreen The emulator opens up, and I see a lot of black...and the title bar/border of the window "Kawaks 1.62 - Paused - Magical Drop 3" for example. I've been playing around with settings for hours....getting no where.
