  1. Was wondering if you could make PinballX launch tables from a shortcut. Here's why I'm asking, maybe there's a better way to do this.... I have set the DMD X offset to 1000 so that the B2s backlass does not show the built in DMD window since I'm using a real DMD. On most of my tables this is great. However, there are a few tables that I would prefer to use the segment display on the backglass instead of on my DMD. The easiest way I know to do this is to put that table in its own folder so it has its own screenres.txt with no DMD offset, so it does not read the universal setting for my other tables. When the table is in a different folder, PinballX Wizard does not see it. I tried to create a shortcut to that table to launch in a different folder. This does work through visual pinball, but not with PinballX. Can this be implemented easily or is there currently an easier way to do this?
  2. Thanks so much for the help guys. When I executed the "run last game" and could see what was happening on the screen I was able to get it going. GameEx wanted to run the parent version (Europe) of SFiii3rd Strike instead of the US version. No problem, I'm OK with that so it is running for me. So now I see that for Rival Schools GameEx is also trying to run the Parent Rom which is the Europe version also but that rom does not seem to be available anywhere. The US version works fine on its own. Now I can see this that this is causing the problem I'm definitely on the right track. Any ideas on how to fix this one? UPDATE: Yes this version does exist. It just required a little extra hunting. I am sure that when I plug this into MAME it will be all good now. Thanks so much for this tips. Mark this one as resolved.
  3. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will mess with this some more. Yeah I have the CHD for Sfiii3. This also happens with Rival Schools which does not require a CHD. I was not aware that I needd to point GameEx to my CHD files....this could certainly be the problem. This "runitgame.bat", is it already in GameEx somewhere or does it need to be downloaded seperately? These are the only 2 games this is happening with, as far as I know, and it is driving me nuts because they are 2 of my favorites. I do play a lot of NFL Blitz and it works just fine - also requires a CHD
  4. Well no I haven't done any updating to the roms. I have CLRmamepro but it seems very confusing, I have never used it for anything. Since the games run fine outside of GameEx, I assumed I didn't need to use it. I am running a standard version of MAMEUI. Downloaded from the IVplay site. No updates or anything special to it.
  5. When I launch a few certain MAME games, my screen goes black and nothing happens. The few games that it happens to have the warning that pops up saying that game is not perfect and click OK, or move the joystick left then right to continue. I have GameEx set to skip this warning. In most games it does this with no problem. So i tried to disable the skipping of this info to see if that would help but no difference there. The 2 games I can think of this happens to are SFIII 3rd strike and Rival Schools. When I launch these directly from MAMEgui they run fine. Here is my GameEx log file right after trying to launch these 2 games... 16:53:15.9 3/25/2013: Opening Configuration File16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: GameEx: Version 13.08: Starting Log16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Operating System Platform: Win32NT16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Operating System Name: Windows 716:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Operating System Version: 6.1.760116:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Aero running16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Initializing Vista/Windows 7 volume control16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Getting CPU and RAM info16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Intel® Core i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz, 6124MB16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: 3.29Ghz - 4 Cores or CPU's16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Running Randomize()16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Loading PlugIns16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Setting default net connection limit to 1516:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Running Misc startup tasks16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Setting Menu types16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Getting Configuration Values16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Using Theme: 2084 1920x108016:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: 2084 1920x108016:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Launching HideOS.exe16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance)16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Hiding Taskbar16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Is Media Center running?16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode16:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Media Center Mode 216:53:16.0 3/25/2013: Video previews on.

  6. UPDATE: I recently switched to the Shark codec pack and now the karaoke player works perfectly. Hope this helps.. Thanks for looking into this guys
  7. Tried this and still not working. I actually deleted the 2nd line, then added it back, then edited it so both lines said "True" and GameEx crashes everytime I try to launch a karaoke file with all of these different cfg
  8. No go here either. Put the new GameEx.exe file in. When I launch a karaoke file, the screen kinda freezes but in about 5 seconds i can hear the song playing in the background. Just cannot see the video. I tried messing around to get it to show the video but it crashes gameex and sends me to Windows desktop. Once the karaoke song is playing (without the video) the only thing I can do is exit the song - but it does put me back to the karaoke song selection screen and still has all normal functionality. I have 2 other PCs in my house and put Gameex on them just to test out the karaoke and I'm getting the same results on all 3 machines. One is an HP laptop (Win7 Pro), one is a Lenovo desktop (Win7 Pro) and my main arcade PC is a Gateway desktop running Win7 Home.
  9. tanks for looking at this Tom. I did what you said and still no luck, but GameEx is acting a little differently than it did with the box unchecked. Now when I launch a karaoke file, the screen changes as if it's about to work then returns to the karaoke selection screen again. Before it launched the file but you couldn't see the screen. Now with the VMR9 box checked, it doesn't seem to even open the karaoke window.
  10. I am having a very similar issue. I am at work so I can't provide my log file yet but I will later this evening. I know GameEx had an update last night so I assume I am running the most current version as of Oct. 5th 2012. Karaoke files play fine in the previews but when I launch one the screen goes black and I can hear the song playing in the background. It's like GameEx is not maximizing the karaoke video player and bringing it to the front (main focus screen for computer). Since my mouse pointer is hidden I can't see it but I think I occasionally have rolled over a minimized window and it will have a small pop up in the bottom left corner of my screen (Win7 64-bit) showing the karaoke video file playing correctly with the audio, but there is no way it will allow me to grab that screen and maximize it or get it to stay in focus. Hope this sheds a little more light on the issue for you guys. I will provide my .ini and .log file later this evening. NOTE: I am running a 2nd gen Core-i3 with an ATI graphics card. The above post was curious as to his hardware but I have different hardware and am experiencing the exact same issue.

  11. OK, I got this issue resolved. I uninstalled everything and I had saved an older version of the gameex setup (ver 12.55). I installed that and it worked fine. I dropped in my old config file and all of my emulators are working fine. Then I let GameEx do the auto update and it all works! Not sure why I was getting this when I tried to download a new copy of GameEx. But it doesn't really matter to me now since it is working fine. Tom - Awesome product, but I did notice that Aero is not running and I didn't recall seeing that before in my log file. You think it could be a video card issue and I did seem to have some problems when installing my video card so I will try to re-install those drivers. I have no idea what that is..... Anyways, thanks for the help!!
  12. I seem to be making a little progress. I looked for the GameEx.ini (which I think is the cfg file??) I made a copy of my old setup from my pld pc and copied it to the new computer.

  13. I have been using GameEx for years but I got a new pc and just downloaded and installed GameEx from the website. I cannot even get it to run to the title screen. Here is my error log: Any help would be greatly appreciated. 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Opening Configuration File 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: GameEx: Version 12.78: Starting Log 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Operating System Name: Windows 7 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Operating System Version: 6.1.7601 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Aero NOT running 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Initializing Vista/Windows 7 volume control 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Getting CPU and RAM info 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz, 6124MB 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: 3.29Ghz - 4 Cores or CPU's 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Running Randomize() 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Loading PlugIns 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Running Misc startup tasks 14:41:07.8 8/7/2012: Setting Menu types 14:41:07.9 8/7/2012: Getting Configuration Values 14:41:07.9 8/7/2012: --**-- 14:41:07.9 8/7/2012: Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 14:41:07.9 8/7/2012: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform.a(Boolean A_0, String A_1, Boolean A_2) 14:41:07.9 8/7/2012: at GameEx.GameEx.mainform..ctor() 14:41:07.9 8/7/2012: Disposing Plugins 14:41:07.9 8/7/2012: GameEx is exiting with errors 14:41:07.9 8/7/2012: Deleting search cache 14:41:07.9 8/7/2012: ERRORS DETECTED: EXITING 14:41:08.0 8/7/2012: Bye Again this is a brand new install and I can't get past this when I try to launch.
  14. I did uninstall the catalyst software, Draco was right, it is seperate from the drivers. Problem solved. Just had a chance to try it out and my startup is back to "normal". Thanks for the help.
  15. I installed a new video card and it uses the Catalyst software from ATI. I had GameEx set to run at startup and everything was fine, but now this Catalyst software has a little startup window (only pops up for a split second, then goes away) when my computer starts just as GameEx is launching and it sends my computer back to the desktop screen. Very annoying.... Anyone know a fix for this??
