murve33 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Each time I load GameEx I have to reload MAME's game list.How do I make GameEx remember what games I have for MAME? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Like the pop-up asks you to update the list?Just right click to skip that prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve33 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Didn't realize how incredibly vague my post was.No, each time I open the MAME section I just have my Favorites folder displayed and nothing else.If I rescan all of my games show up, but each time I exit they're gone again.

Adultery Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hmm, it may be a permissions issue with writing the mame map file...Do you have the proper permissions to write to the GameEx > Data folder? Try running GameEx as administrator and see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavearm Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Does C:\GameEx\DATA\gamelist.txt exist? If so, does it contain the games you are finding during the update list command? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve33 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes it does, and it does list the games, along with all of the game descriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavearm Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Can you try turning off verify and as much of the filtering as possible. I recently set this up a few times and have not seen this issue. Maybe we can narrow it down to a filter or some other issue causing us grief.

Tempest Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Any chance that you have GameEx in 2 locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve33 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Alright, so I enabled the folder "Show all MAME Games" and I'm able to access my games there. It's odd that I can access my games outside of the directory if I rescan, but, as I said, it doesn't remember.So to clarify, I'm accessing my Games through this method.Main Menu>MAME>All MAME Games>[My Games Are Listed]It seems like it'd make a lot more sense to access them like:Main Menu>MAME>[My Games Are Listed]But oh well. Problem solved I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 There is a setting to show Mame on the main page, and if that doesn't work you can always use custom menus to make it look the way that you want it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve33 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Right, I have that ticked. But when I select it I get the menu (paraphrased):>All MAME Games>Rescan CollectionAnd nothing else.And then when I select All MAME Games, I see my collection.If I click Rescan it puts all of my games in the main MAME menu, but I have to rescan every time I reopen GameEx.But, it's not a big deal.
