Tom Speirs Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Sorry, I don't follow you. MAME stops at 0.197b? What exactly is not updated? Your mame cab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Again, not sure what you mean. It definitely should work with the latest version of MAME. I pretty much guarantee this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcocaps Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 if I insert the complete romset 22,000 rom version 0.210 many games are not recognized and are not listed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 That could be because not all 22000 are actual arcade games. Many are mechanical, such as pinball. Those will not show up via GameEx Arcade or standard GameEx, regardless of your MAME version if you are using the integrated MAME support. If you choose to set up MAME to run as a separate emulator, you can probably gain seeing all the ROMS in the menu that the latest ROMset has to offer, but it will not be pretty, they will not be any more playable than launching from the emulator directly.

marcocaps Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 yes i know what you mean! but i got 2.200 game .... missing a lot of game such as Sega rally for example... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 At this point I will ask that you please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files (NO copy and paste please) so that we can look at your setup and make some recommendations.

marcocaps Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 GameEx.ini log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I do not run GroovyMAME, but usually the MAME.exe is located in the GroovyMAME path which I could not locate in the gameex.ini or see referenced in the log.txt file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcocaps Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 The location is D:\MAME mame64.exe (is the groovymame file ) i tried also to put in in emulation/mame path but doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Im testing with latest mame now. Sorry, your initial post was very vague and strange, You are saying there is issue with latest MAME version? I wasnt aware sega rally is now working in MAME. Are you sure it is just not a non working game? GameEx filters out a lot of games by default. Did you know that? You should get more than 2,200 games though which is why I am testing.

Tom Speirs Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I can confirm I can find no issues. If you wish to list all MAME games excluding mechanical but including all the junk and not working you should use regular GameEx and disable all the filters. Thanks. Tom.

Tom Speirs Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 No problem. Don't expect Sega Rally in arcade edition though as its flagged as not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcocaps Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 ok i have update to 1.73 ... for example "bubble bobble" is missing ad other many important game i don't know how is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Your probably going to better not using arcade edition then so you can turn off all the filters. Also, silly question probably, but you did update the list hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcocaps Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 the update of the list does not take place automatically at start-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 No. You have to enable Update List in the Setup Wizard then select it from the main menu when you load GameEx or Arcade Edition. Also, be sure the version of your ROMS matches the version of MAME you are running. If you want a game to show that is getting filtered, you will need to know the ROM name and manually enter it via Setup Wizard under Do Not Filter These ROMS, enter the rom name separated by ; and then Update List again.

marcocaps Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 OK ... WITH ROMSET 0.197 working GOOD.... so I gave up on the idea of using the new romset.... i have e trouble also with Demul (naomi 1-2 emulator) and Zinc .... but i'm pretty sure that i can solve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 0.197? Why are you running such an old release? Is it because within GameEx setup wizard where you go to load emulators that 0.197 is the version listed? If so you can easily replace this with the latest release. Those emulators are just what was around at the time. There's so many emulators that it's really best just to go grab the latest release and not even bother with that "add emulators" section unless you want to do it entirely for directory structure, as in keeping it where GameEx would default it to. That being the case just replace the installed emulator with the current one from the developers site. The way emulators are updated it would be cumbersome to continually go back and keep them all updated here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
