I asked this in a different thread under a different topic and don't want it to get lost/buried there. The current version of GameEx (16.x) isn't working on my machine. I'd like to be able to download the final 15.x release of both GameEx and GameEx Arcade Edition. I think I found the last GameEx setup file on another site, but I can't find the last GameEx Arcade Edition. I expected to be able to find them here but I've looked all over to no avail. I also browsed the FTP with no luck there either. Can someone point me to the 15.73 GameEx Arcade Edition setup package? Thanks.

So. I do not like HyperSpin. I don't want to use HyperSpin. But as a test, I tried this with HyperSpin+RocketLauncher. The game ran every time without a black screen. I would test using RocketLauncher for GameEx but I don't know if that is even possible. The good news is that it means it should be fixable, whatever it is. Tom, I am a software developer by trade and I develop Win32 applications, some using DirectX, for a living... if you would like some back-and-forth on this to help diagnose/fix, please let me know. I'm game. I've been using GameEx in a cab for almost 8 years. We love it. It's time for a refresh and I just need to get past this little issue. :-)

After I got a black screen (from which I could only reset the PC), I used runitgame.bat outside of GameEx over and over again over a dozen times, and the game started up fine every time. I noticed one time that as GameEx was launching the game, it played the game start sound (from Galaga?) and then that sound started stuttering before things appeared to lock up. Also, I tried forcing MAME to use GDI, and when I did, it worked fine from GameEx every time. However, this is not acceptable for a variety of reasons, primarily because of the lack of hlsl. So this leads me to ask if there is a way to delay MAME's startup a couple of seconds while GameEx closes its d3d windows? In case there is some kind of fluke with the timing?

So its confirmed this is a problem with unzipping the roms. I turned off Zip support in GameEx and all of a sudden the Emulators started working in Attract mode. Is there anyway to change the folder where the roms get unzipped so I can see if it has something to do with permissions?
