The verify is forced in GameEx Arcade to keep options simple and also because GameEx needs to know if games are fully working and not just best available. So right now unfortunately its a known limitation. Headkaze has developed a better solution for GameEx Evolution and maybe I can utilize that in the future. Sp just to clarify, my original question, theres not much difference, in the time it takes to update the games list, when i have Roms in my folder to when i have only 2 roms in folder, is this correct for the current version?

Its down to MAME itself. I would think it would be quicker with less roms though. Again we have a faster routine for Evo which can hopefully make it into regular GameEx later. One other tip. Use a version of MAME compiled as arcade only. Bottom line is turn Verify off. I could go into so many technicalities here as to "why" you should, why it's even an option etc.

But I won't. Just turn it off, go back and hit "Update List" , wait a bit. As Tom has stated you can't turn verify off with Arcade Edition.

You can only disable it in regular or vanilla GameEX. Anyway, after some thinking on this, I've reached this conclusion. I'm assuming here that this helps during the verify operation as it checks or run commands, see's that everything is correct, then moves on very quickly.

I've setup a very nice and perfectly smooth PinballX system, guess i was hoping the Arcade setup would be as "easy". I know that theres a lot i don't understand concerning mame in general, so i'm sorry bout my "noob" statements. Tom Speirs my disk are both SSD, so thats not the issue. To summarize i think maybe some file or registry have been saved on my computer, from the first time i ran the game update, and maybe this file needs to be deleted to "reset" my setup, also i have allready increased the speed somewhat, not sure exactly how, but putting files in various folders as suggested in the gameex wizard, seems to have increased the speed, i think i'm down to maybe minuttes..

I Will make some more test monday when i've sobered up, from the weekends christmas parties , monitoring the log closely, as this has allready proven very usefull.
