I ended up figuring it out. It looks like UI Cancel was not mapped in my Mame install. So I just had to map the UI Cancel option in Input (general) to the escape key on my controller. For some reason this only affected it when I selected games from attraction mode. I was able to exit games fine when I selected them from the Gameex menu.

I searched around the forum but didn't see that anyone has had this issue. When I select a game from attract mode by selecting the coin button, it lets me play the game just fine. But now if I try to exit the game by hitting escape it does not let me exit the game. When I hit alt + tab on the keyboard I notice that GameEx does not show up. Only the game that is running in Mame and the GameEx hide OS show up. Now if I end task on the game then GameEx comes back up just fine. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks

Sorry that I have not replied but swapped out the video card and now it is working fine. Thanks for the help.

I think I've tried almost everything now. The default ini file is losing connection also. The only thing I can think of now is the video card that I put in. I was running it on the on-board video card but that was making some games lag. Once I put the Gigabyte GV-3D1-XL dual 6600 card in then that's when the problem started. I think I will have to try a new card or try just running on the on-board for now to see if that resolves the issue.

**Spoke too soon. It is still losing connection** I found out why it was losing connection. I was trying out mamepp.exe to see what difference it made. Well after changing it back to mame.exe now it's working fine.

Thanks for the reply! Here are my GameEX.ini and GameEXdefault.ini. Thanks for taking a look at this. gameex.zip

Just started getting this issue after upgrading my video card. What's happening is when I open GameEX it will let me hit up, down and even select a few times but then my ipac4 will drop connection. Then if I close out of GameEX and unplug the ipac4 and plug it back in then it will start working again. It will work in notepad and also the winpac program without losing connection. The only thing that will get it to work is if I load the gameex.default.ini file. It is also working on my main computer that I have GameEX loaded on. After trying to get it to work I then did a full uninstall of GameEX and reloaded it from scratch. Still having the issue after doing that. Also went through and tryed changing settings here and there to see if I could find out if there is a feature that is causing the issue. I cannot figure this out and getting frustrated so thought I would ask you guys for help. I searched around the boards and couldn't find any solutions.
