  1. Yes, that seems to have fixed it, thank you again for looking into this!!
  2. Sorry for the confusion... No, it is not creating the "NOT FOUND" in the following Folders (PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5, PC6, PC7, PC8). It used to create the folders in those folder directories, but not anymore. It used to look like this: ** Note ** just an example Games: C:\Roms\PC1\11th_Hour.bat C:\Roms\PC1\5_Days_A_Stranger.bat C:\Roms\PC1\Box\Steves_world.bat C:\Roms\PC1\Box\Afterdark_They_Come.bat Games Art: C:\Roms\PC1\Box\11th_Hour.png C:\Roms\PC1\Box\Steves_world.png C:\Roms\PC1\Box\Afterdark_They_Come.png C:\Roms\PC1\Box\NOT FOUND\5_Days_A_Stranger.nofd I may have made this all very confusing, and I do appologize. I'm just trying to figure out how to get that "NOT FOUND" folder back with the listed games that do not have a pic that matches the starting .bat file for the game(s). Again, I appreciate your time with this! Thank you again.
  3. Not sure if this is what you need, but I think I attached the right logs? (fingers crossed) Thank you for looking into this, i do Really Appreciate It! It looks like GameEx is downloading and comparing some art, what it looks like, is that there are only "5" directories that are not getting the compare. These being PC1 through to PC8 (What I've noticed is it scans the Snaps/Box/Titles/Manuals directories inside each folder and compares the art there with the "*.bat" file to start a given game. ie: in PC1 if running game "5_Days_A_Stranger.bat" it looks in the folders Snaps/Box/Titles/Manuals to see if there is a "5_Days_A_Stranger.png" file of the same name, if not, it creates the directory "NOT FOUND" and then creates a file called: "5_Days_A_Stranger.nofd". I know I don't need to explain this as you are the Creator, but just incase someone else jumps in and was wondering what the issue was. log.txt LogArtWorkDownload.txt
  4. No, just recently updated to V18.56. Seemed to be showing the folders for missing Snaps, Box Art, Title art etc before? I ran the verify and found no errors either, and have looked through the configuration several times the last few days, but not seeing anything...
  5. Sorry for probably easy fix, but my brain is burntout on this one... Here is the issue... After running GameEx and then exiting, I could go into the "Snaps" folder or "Box Art" folder and there would be a new Folder there called, "NOT FOUND". This folder would have listed all the games that GameEX did not find a match for it/them to a Snap (pic of the game). I know it must be a setting in the config, but either I keep over looking it or my eyes just don't want to see what is plannly infront of me. Any help on this, it is much appreciated, I'm nearing the end of completion on my cabnet. Thank You in Advance ~ Lorecarver ~ **** UPDATE **** Thank you to the Administrator for pointing out I was in the wrong area to post this and notifing me of what was required, much appreciated! Also for moving the post to the correct area, it appears it was moved to "General", again, thank you. Below I have added the "GameEx.ini" and "log.txt" files for reviewing if anyone can see where the issue is. Thank you again for all your help!! GameEx.ini log.txt
  6. @Draco1962 Yes, again, you are correct, I managed to forget to install this, I did as you suggested and everything is playing the .mp4 files once again. Question: I've been running GameEx Version 18.38 on Windows 7 64 bit system (Yes, Registered) since it came out... I downloaded the new upadted version, 18.40, however, when I go to install it, I get an error message saying, "This program does not support the version of Windows your computer is running" I have downloaded the Version several times, but get the same error message when trying to install. I have tried uninstalling the original program off my system, cleaning the registry and then trying to install the program, but that didn't work either. I really don't want to have to wipe my harddrive and reinstall windows incase it is a glich someone knows how to fix first. Any ideas on this one? Lol, other than that, the system (Version 18.38) is running flawlessly and set up exactly the way I want it to be/look, Amazing Program that out Shines any others in my books!! Thanks again
  7. I got it, for some reason it was not playing all the video files that were .mp4 formate. I converted them to .avi and low and belhold, all works as expected now, phewww... Thank you all for your help and support in this! It has been 10 years since I was able to get back to my Arcade system and had upgraded the lot of it to new pc, better hardware, etc... So re-did a lot of reinstalling, configuring and coding for my system. So Your Help is much appreciated! Thank you again!
  8. Thank you!! You know what, I did do exactly that, must have changed it by accident Here is another Question: I have my "Snaps" in a snap folder, and "Videos" in a Video Folder for each system and emulated system I am running. When I specify the Directorys in the Setup Wizard, then run GameEX, it will show the Video files playing for those roms that have videos for them; but if a rom does not have a video for it, it will not show the Snap file for that rom... When I remove the Video Directory from the Setup Wizard config, it shows the Snap Files. Am I missing a setting here, if you know off hand which it could be, been scowering the config for a Day now lol... Here is what I'm trying to do... Show the Video files for each rom they have in a Video Folder and if no Video File, then show the Snap file it has in the Snap Folder.
  9. Hi, sorry for such and old question (probably)... GameEX used to creat a folder in each rom folder called "NOT FOUND", which held all the missing Snap files for each rom. I noticed that this is not populating anymore to tell me which snaps I am missing for my Snaps/Titles/Box Art/Cart Art etc... Is there a way to activate GameEX to go through all Rom Folders and list the missing pics for those roms in the catigories of Snaps/Titles/Box/Cart/Video etc? I loved it when it did this before as I could see what I was missing and get the pics and videos for those roms. Many thanks in advance if someone can help me with this answer.
  10. Thank You!!! It works, just as you said it would, Thank You for your Quick Reply also!
  11. Hi, Is there away to migrate the configuration files for GameEX-xp to GameEX-64bit? I have the GameEX-xp version installed and going to a 64bit system and would like to migrate all the config files to it so that I do not have to redo all the work... Is this possible? In other words, use the GameEX-xp version configs with all added groups and roms and migrate them into the GameEX-64byte version? Thanks in Advance.

  13. Not sure where to put this... But, here is a Word Doc of the "GameEx Configuration Guide", could be usefull if your internet is down. GameEX Setup Manual.rar
  14. Here are 2 config setup's for running PC Games on GameEX... The two packages show you how to run a PC Game wih and without the need or use of DOSBox (for those older Dos based games). What I've done is wrote a crued (I mean crued, becasue I am new to this) script to run the games with "Autoit 3.0" along with some batch files. The "ReadMe.txt" file inclosed will tell you how to write the batch files needed, configer GameEX to run the games of your choice, create a batch file to mount/unmount a cd/dvd game with daemon tools and run it in GameEX. It will also tell you what you need as far as programs to use to get the game up and running. The "PC_DOSBox_Games_Config".zip package has all the files you need for a game installed on your computer and does not require the cd to play, and for a game installed on your computer but does need the game to play. (and how to get around the needing the cd to play part!) The "PC_Games_Config.zip" package has all the files you need for a game installed on your computer but does not require DOSBox to run it. You can also use the files in the first package with this package to run games that still require the cd to play. After you have configured one game (timely I'm sure) you can just copy the files for other games and the work only takes about 2 minutes per game. The Autoit script file also gives you the abiltiy to set up your exit key to EXIT the Game, ie: BACKSPACE, TAB, etc... The one good thing I do like though, is if your game ever hangs on you, hitting the configured "EXIT" key will terminate the program and take you back to GameEX. I hope this helps someone out there, or even gives you an idea to make something you've done better. Lorecarver PC_DOSBox_Games_Config.zip PC_Games_Config.zip
