Just set rom paths, updated games lists... GameEx goes to launch donkey kong, then comes back to the "launch donkey kong" screen. I checked both mame and gameex .inis, I had heard if mame and gameex skip info game info or something it could get messed up, tried only one program skipping game info, tried both doing so, tried neither doing so... nothing. I've attached my .ini files for both GameEx and Mame64.
I will also say, when I select donkey kong in gameex, it says "launching dkongo"
is it supposed to be named dkongo? bc the zip is dkong. Runs flawlessly in standalone mame64.
