Tom Speirs Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 19th March, 2011 - GameEx 11.63 For game card users multiple game played statistics are now stored on the server. This will allow me to add profiles to game cards and build in some social networking features.The GameExtender internal web server is now multi threaded.

Stilkdog Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have Auto Update on and so once I update to this, it keeps wanting to "UPDATE" to the newest one so it will keep looping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally Wonka Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yeah I have the same looping update problem. Also my main screen now displays the logo as the background image even when I don't have that set in the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griggs619 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I too am having it keep asking me to update even though i just updated 4 times and also tried rebooting my pc with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesk Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Update loop here as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I am getting the same thing as well.. here is a snippet of my log file that shows what I was suspecting is causing the repeated loop. GameEx is still showing the version as 11.62 even after I downloaded the program and performed an install instead of update:22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: GameEx: Version 11.62: Starting Log22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Operating System Platform: Win32NT22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Operating System Name: Windows Vista22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Operating System Version: 6.1.760122:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Aero running22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Initializing Vista/Windows 7 volume control22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: .net Framework 2.0 Installed22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: .net Framework 3.0 Installed22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: .net Framework 3.5 Installed22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, 8126MB22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: 2.39Ghz - 4 Cores or CPU'sI confirmed that the version in the gameex.ini was also showing 11.62:[internal]csv=C:\GameEx\config\config.csvini=C:\GameEx\config\gameex.iniMAMEEXE=windowed=Trueversion=11.62timesruncount=3startpagethumbscount=26I went so far as to try tricking the program by changing the value in the gameex.ini to 11.63, but it still registers as 11.62 in the log file. For now, just going to disable auto-update feature until the cause can be determined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeT Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ditto, here auto-update loop. I tried updating manually by downloading 11.63 from the site, but when I boot GameEX after, it still wants to update..pretty annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 It should have stopped now as the server is down. Seems Ive lost a hard drive. However the auto update issue was down to me uploading an old version by mistake. Ill fix everything as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 All sites appear to be up and running and 11.63 installed again, but this time without looping. Also Gamer Cards working again as well. Thanks for the quick fix, Tom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakerman Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Well the 11.63 installer says it's 11.62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks Tom! My only request on this is maybe to remove the outer glow on the GameEx logo as it looks a little grainy. Maybe it's just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 @Krakermane Yes your right. Fixed now. The reason it got messed up is because I moved ALL GameEx source and projects to an SVN server I am hosting and I still needed to change a few paths. It was a good thing to do as it got things a lot more organsised and a good side effect is someone else has access in the event something unforseen happens to me and I become out of action. Although best not to talk about things like that Also I awoke to find a hard disk dissapeared from my server. It seemed to come back after reboout but I need to run some checks on it and potentially replace.I guess the bottom line is there is always stuff going on in the background even if it does not seem like it!

Adultery Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 This will allow me to add profiles to game cards and build in some social networking features.Skinning the game card would be pwn! No idea how you might impliment that though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Im not planning on that, but I plan to add profiles for Game card users and allow interaction and status updates for users with links to Games in Gamesdbase and allowing rating games etc. This will replace the current GameEx live.

Adultery Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ha! Connectivity with the games db is a great idea! So it would be similar to the way Live connects to MAME games, except we'd make a profile for ourselves on the GamesDB website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Im still working out the details but like I said there will be interactivity between users and the games they are playing. The profiles and interactivity will be hosted and take place at GameEx.com via extension of the existing "Game Card" profile (it already captures users, passwords and the games people play) with links and hooks into Gamesdbase.com for info about the games themselves. ie the interaction, statistics, list sharing and profiles will take place at gameex.com with game specific info taking place at gamesdbase.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
