GameEx and History.dat?
« on: June 30, 2009, 06:38:29 am »
I have my GameEx FE set up to show some game info (together with Marquee, CP etc) whenever a game is selected. However, I'm not getting the full text info from History.dat. There is some really interesting Trivia and Cheat info in there which I just can't get to display in the "Info" section of the selected game in GameEx.

I can get a text description of the game, together with a lists of "Games in the series" and "Recommended games". But that's it. In History.dat file there is much more info on each game which is not displaying.

How do I do this? I checked all the config options in GamEx setup. If I launch a game directly  from MameUI I get to see the full info in the History Tab. But sadly not in GameEx?  :dunno
