I have mention a couple times before that Mame and mGalaxy version 9 and 10 are not working in windows 11. I though I would give this one more try before switching to a new front end. Mame works fine by itself so I know it's not the main problem. With mGalaxy version 9 you can launch a game but when you ESC back out of it it freezes with the screen split. The only way out is CTRL ALT DELETE. With mGalaxy 10 a game wont launch at all, it says launching but nothing happens.... I have even private messaged mGalaxy with no respone in about a month...
Anybody
Thanks,
Darryl
mGalaxy version 9 and 10 do not work in Win11 with Mame
I can't reproduce what you're explaining.
Could you please download this portable version of mGalaxy.
It's configured and contains a few internal roms for testing.
...and let me know if you have the same problem, please.

Ok Weird, your version works in my downloads folder so I thought maybe i'de take my 2 versions and plop them in the download folder and see what happens. but they still don't work. I though maybe it was something with my external drive that I had them on was screwing them up but I guess not... So why does yours work and mine doesn't ?? lol
Can you send me a download link like that for Version 10 and if it works fine I will get the premium so I can have the themes again...
Also I see in the coming updates we are supposed to be able to launch a game from the screensaver. I wonder how hard it would be to use a key to add a game from the screensaver to our like mame favorites within mGalaxy. A number of times i have walked past my screen and seen a game that looked good but I had already missed the title and had to go looking for it..lol. it would be handy to just see a game on the screen saver and just press a key to add it directly to the favorites for Mame
Just a thought, like i said I dont know if it would be hard or even impossible but it would be nice....
Thanks and PLMK on the version 10

Open "mGalaxy\DataDefinition\Emulators.xml" with a text editor.
With the search tool, search for this line:<Emulator name="MAME" hidden="false">
...and in this line, replace "false" with "true"
Save, Test and Report here please
