Hello everyone,
I had done all of this years ago, but had an hard drive crash, and recently got the sting to set it up again. I have all my emulators and stuff set up at the moment in Hyperspin/RocketLauncher.
Yesterday, I gave GameEx a try (I had bought it years ago, as well as Hyperspin), and wanted to set it up. Instead of set up a myriad of emulators, I wanted to use my already set up rocketlauncher.
I did a little search in these forums, because there was no rocketlauncher and/or retroarch support right in gameex. And I found out it was actually really easy to set up this way, and in fact easier than the traditional gameex way.
On my first attempt, it worked beautifully. I had gameex setup with mame for the mame romset, and I had an atari 2600 romset (started out with an easy one), working with rocketlauncher.
However, I was intrigued to know why it worked without any additional configuration in RocketLauncher. So I went over there, and added a gameex frontend profile, and changed a few things. Then my games would no longer launch. It was saying it was missing an xml file somewhere in rocketlauncher directory.
I reverted my settings in Rocketlauncher, and now it launches again.
However, I played with GameEx settings in the meantime, and for some reasons, now when I launch a game thru rocketlauncher, it starts fine, but hideos is blocking the emulator output. So I see the rocketlauncher bezel, but I don't see the emulator in the middle... I see the black screen from hideos. If I alt-tab to hideos, and press alt-f4, and switch back to the emulator, then everything is fine. Except I see the windows taskbar.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
PS: BTW, nice progress on GameEx! I have read about GameEx evolution. Is it a new application? If I bought GameEx, will I get the evolution upgrade or is it a new purchase?
