Change rom version used

Recommended Posts

I’ve searched high and low and can’t figure out how to change the zip file a game is pointed to. How do I edit a specific game in Gameex Arcade?

 

ive built my first cabinet and I am testing various frontends. In LaunchBox, you just right click a game and you can edit it. That’s where I change the zip file a game is using. I cannot figure out how to do this in Gameex Arcade. 
 

the game in question is Gauntlet. I want to use the ROM for 2 players so we can choose our character when a coin is inserted. 
 

gotta say, I am loving Gameex so far!

Thanks. I added “gauntlet” to the do not filter list in Gameex setup wizard, then ran Update list. When complete I selected Gauntlet from the wheel in Gameex, but it still launches the 4 player version, not the 2 player. 
 

Somewhere, Gameex stores what zip file is used for each game, that’s what I need to change.

Well, I’ve figured out a work around by following Toms suggestion. I added the rom file I wanted (gauntlet2pr3) to the DONT filter line in the wizard.  After a rescan, now 2 versions of Gauntlet show up in my list. The original (4player) and the 2 player. 
 

id prefer to not even have the 4 player show up, but I’ve just added the 2p version to my favorites and it works. 
 

im sure Gameex has a way to simply change the rom file a game points to, a la LaunchBox’s right click Edit menu, but I haven’t found it yet 

 

 

that being said, I really like Gameex and will be purchasing a license.
