Is it a standard ISO file? Ill post a debug version shortly.

Im guessing its something to do with the format of the ISO. Can you post what the file and directory contents look like on one of those ISOS.

EDIT: Frequency can you email me pleaae (or pm if cant do email).

Thanks.
Tom.

I only have ~10 emulators set up and it takes ~1 minute to load the Game Info screen the first time I start up GameEx. It is much quicker than that every other time I go to the Game Info screen, but the first time it does take a LONG time. Is there any way that you could have it cache the current system first, then load the screen so that we can continue working, then (in the background) cache the other systems? It may result in a performance hit, but at least we wouldn't have to wait quite as long. Just a thought.

If you disable the other systems feature, it wont do this.

I was thinking this myself but I tried several different games and still no luck. Visitor Q and smbergie200 was unable to run them as well. That's why I thought that maybe the Turbografx CD's wouldn't work which is why I tried to mount them manually via the gui and from the command-line which both worked. My result using GameEx gave the error in the log that I posted. So let me know what you want me to try.

Here's a picture of the directory with one of the games in it.

Edit: Removed pic after seeing post about PM in case not to break any rules.

There is a setting to only cache the current system already? Why wasn't I told!? TEMPEST!!!

I didn't know this either! Someone's slacking. Well where in the world is it? LOL

[TSpeirs]

Frequency already knows, but the ISO issue is fixed in 9.69 (available).

For the Game Info delay. I did try to make some optimisations in this release. Can you try for me please. It will take affect the second time the game info page is accessed for the first time.

If its still slow, can you post your logs so I can get a better idea.

Cheers.

Thanks for the location Frequency!

Also thank Tom! He's the one who told me where it was. I never knew this feature could be turned off. I like it on when I'm going to leave GameEx running but when testing I don't want to wait for it to happen every time. Glad there is a way to disable. However let's also see if there is any improvements on it since Tom made some adjustments.

Oh, I see how it is. Tom will tell you and I have to wait to hear 3rd hand? I didn't realize I was getting grouped with Tempest these days

Don't say that! That's not funny! LMAO. That's an insult if you ask me. But since you weren't asking me I thought I'd be a pal and tell you anyways. Tempest is in a group all on his own.

I should have timed it before but on the 2nd time it doesn't seem to have any speed increases however to me it seems it's faster overall which is good.

Has anyone had any luck getting NEC TurboGrafx CD to work with this new feature? I am still having to use daemon tools lite.

Works just fine! Was the reason for needing to be updated cuz of the way TurboGrafx CD Images are handled.

I meant the first time for the second time. I mean do it once then restart GameEx. Then do it.


Any better?

That's what I meant as well. I started and timed it 32 seconds (using the log) and then restarted and timed again which was still about 32 seconds. Give or take a 1/10th of a second. So the second time wasn't any faster than the first time for me. However it seems a lot faster overall. I use to wait more than that. Don't know how much exactly though cuz never timed it before I updated to the new version. I still would say it's an improvement.
