  1. Past hour
  2. Not sure it has anything to do with it but sometimes I get lucky. Is there a reason why you are running Windows in Test Mode? Is it possible that the resource access is being hampered when trying to return, thus hanging? Can you test in normal mode?
  3. Today
  4. Downgraded to 18.56 and the same problem occurs, no changes to the config file. Learned a little about troubleshooting Windows programs that are hanging and found a little something about Wait Chains. And a program called "waitingon". Seems GameEx is hung on network I/O, in what appears to be a deadlock between two threads. See the attached image. I see GameEx get periodic bursts of 10Mb/s downloads from 104.26.13.59 for a few seconds, then it stops and never recovers. I'm guessing there's some resource it's expecting that I don't have then gets hung waiting for a response?
  5. Yesterday
  6. Sorry you did not get a reply until now but to answer you question, at this time there is a utility included with most GameEx variations called the "Setup Wizard". You basically use this tool to setup your emulators and rom path. Its pretty easy. Select the system then folder to your roms. You normally don't need to worry about anything else or artwork etc for most systems. its automatic.
  7. I'll give 18.56 a go tonight and report back on what I find. And no need to apologize... being in software development myself, I know these things happen. I'm sure we'll get it figured out. And I appreciate the feedback from both you and Draco1962 that this isn't normal and that there's something off here.
  8. From recently triaged issues, I think 15.56 might be a better test and before we encountered recent issues due to cross-platform changes.
  9. I don't think that's the normal experience but sorry you are having trouble and thank you for persevering. i don't see anything specific to troubleshoot there that makes me think. It could be on your end rather than the software. You could also try an older version to see if something was introduced recently when I was working on cross platform in recent months. Although 18.58 might be before that. Other than that if it is network it will be artwork download or gameex online, so look into that. Paths should not be an issue. i never heard that. Again artwork download maybe.
  10. Hi everyone, I've been trying to install GameEx Arcade Edition for a couple of weeks now and I cannot get this figured out. GameEX appears to hang at a number of different places (starting a game, looking at marquees, just idling...). Trying to start a game has never worked for me. I imagine I'm holding something wrong here, but I'm not seeing what. There's nothing interesting in the logs when this happens. My setup: Windows 10 (in test mode) with CRT Emudriver for a Radeon HD 5450 graphics card, connected to a 25" K7000. Also have a regular LCD monitor connected. MAME is groovymame 0260.002. GameEx Arcade Edition v18.61 (although this was happening on 18.58 as well). The only thing I've noticed is that some of the hangs appear to be coming with some network traffic. When GameEx freezes, it isn't busy (<1% CPU) but the network will be downloading 2-20Mbps, but even that slows down after a bit... but the app remains hung. Adding my ini and log files here. And I saw in another thread that paths are sometimes the cause of hangs... are all MAME paths required even if they are empty? log.txt GameEx.ini
  11. Last week
  12. You can call me Mike if you prefer. I am fine either way.
  13. I need to get some bearings for sure! Can i mention you guys by IRL names btw, or is it strictly usernames only? Been gone so long not sure of the etiquette 😆 Either way how ya doing T?! Another OG still here! I got so many questions...
  14. Please attach copies of your gameex.ini (located under \GameEx\Config or \GameEx Arcade Edition\config) and log.txt (located under \GameEx\Log or \GameEx Arcade Edition\Log) files as previously requested several times now.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics drivers?

  15. Ou....actually is not the N100 having the videos problem, its the N95. My bad. I have the N100 also and that works ok with Gameex (videos included) but is not powerfull enough for some games of mame in 3d. The N95 on the other hand runs flawlessy all the games, but thats the one with the black videos.

    Help please

    Hi there - to ensure a quicker response please note the following: When reporting an issue, it is best to attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for review Be mindful of where you are in the forums when you open a thread - this one was opened in the GameEx > General forum Also, noted that you said "the legends pinball table does not recognize it and won't turn on." Are you trying to modify an At Games Legends Pinball table? If so, is it running PinballX as the frontend? Thanks!
  18. Since the issue is occurring for your specidic N100 Mini PC build, there may not be a solution specific to it. Please attach copies of the previously requested gameex.ini and log.txt files for review. Also, confirm if this is the same N100 powered mini PC: Be aware that there may not be much that can be done if the issue is due to integrated GPUs as we have seen various issues in the past that have impacted some laptop or standard PC builds and the only alternative was to run an onboard GPU. In the mean time we do ask for the following info: Since the "Ni100 Intel" is installed in quite a few mini-PCs, please provide: Mini PC Manufacturer name and Model A manufacturers link to the one you purchased A purchasing link for your mini PC (i.e. Amazon, Best Buy, etc.) This information may help towards a solution or at least provide others another make/model to avoid.
  19. Yes. The only problem is with the snap videos of the games in the selection menu of gameex. You hear them play but appear in black. I have installed only the lav code filters and no luck. I think there is no solution possible for this. I have read the same problem in other thread and the "solutions" was change to another PC, and it had the same mini PC than me. With the N100 Intel.

    Help please

    Hey yall, I need help with getting into my pinball tables. I’m using a ssd and everything is set up on it. Itva boot drive but when cou boots up I can hear the games and scroll through them but the legends pinball table does not recognize it and won’t turn on. When don’t use it he ssd as a boot up but I go through windows I can see the games but it won’t allow me to play them, it kicks me back to the wheel menu. I tried to make sure that the table paths were right but still noting . Can some one help me?
  21. Welcome back! Some things have changed but most remain the same.
  22. Hey folks! Some of you may have an inkling of who i am and most i suspect have no frikkin idea ^^ Well, i'm Daz - hi there! - and for years i called this place home. I've recently had a renewed interest in the emulation scene and after years of being out of the loop, i knew i had to come back! To those that already figured out who this is - how the fek are ya fellas?!! and to everyone else - i look forward to the banter and nuggets of wisdom that will inevitably follow 😊 ~Daz
  23. I split your post to its own thread. The issues reported by Jombee are related to older Arcade VGA which is a legacy product that has been losing support over the years. If you are having a problem, please describe it in detail, not "other people are reporting it" anf attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files for review. You brought up codecs. A few questions: Are you having an issue just with videos? Are you using ONLY using LAV codecs filters?
  24. I have a problem with my brand new mini pc intel N100. And windows 11. And more people are reporting the same problem with the snap videos, in the selection of games, the snap videos have sound but no video, just a black screen. I have tried ALL the codecs in the world and all different extensions for video, mp4, avi, flv and nothing. I have tried an older version of gameex with no luck. I have tried other frontends and they show the same videos with no problems in the same pc.... Even the gameex evolution shows OK the videos. So the problem is gameex being no compatible with some pc????
  25. Update: So no MLO firmware update on the router yet (still waiting on ASUS) but there was a driver update to the Intel BE200 dated January 21st. Getting 3GB still.. 2024-03-14 19-08-14.mp4
  26. Just sharing a good find. I normally use remote desktop on Windows but it is session based and no good for live managing a Pinball or Arcade cabinet. In recent years I used a paid version of AnyDesk when Teamviewer ditched me. AnyDesk works good but the other day I was looking for something for Mac over old legacy VNC. I found nomachine. https://nomachine.com Looks pretty good to me at least on windows on a LAN. There is a 60fps option and resolution fit. Features lacking in all three of the others.
