GameEx Cross Platform

By Tom Speirs

This is something I started in 2020. I had not made much progress until recently but now have it not far off completion.
It originally started as a separate project but now it uses the same code base.
Please consider an alpha version at this point just for feedback and testing. If you are new here please use the other GameEx installs.
There are currently alpha versions of Linux, Mac and Android to download.,
The benefits of the multiplatform version:
- Few or no external dependencies. Portable install.
- Everything uses the same code base. All versions get updates.
- Supports all major platforms. Including Linux, Android and Mac.

Downsides:
- There is video support but no MKV support just yet.
- Will be missing some features but both Arcade and regular GameEx will be supported.

Instructions:

First Launch:
It will take several seconds the first time you start the app while media assets are copied and fonts are downloaded.

Android:
Install and open Downloader (by AFTVnews) from the Play store.
Enter 246452 for GameEx or 629105 for GameEx Arcade Edition. The APK file will download.
The first time will issue a security warning. Follow the prompts to allow unknown apps then repeat the download.
If you receive a privacy warning, select install anyway.
To use secondary shared storage (SD card/USB disk) the app will use the following folders if found in the root of the drive:
/GameEx - For log and config files
/GameEx_Artwork - For downloaded artwork and media
/GameEx_Emulation - For roms and games

Ensure to match names and case exactly.

Linux:
Extract and open a terminal window in that folder.
chmod +x GameEx.x86_64
./GameEx.x86_64

Mac:
Download file.
In Finder right click the application and select New Terminal at Folder
Copy and Paste all this into Terminal and press enter.
cd ..
chmod -R +x Mac_GameEx_ArcadeEdition.app/Contents/MacOS
chmod -R +x Mac_GameEx.app/Contents/MacOS
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine Mac_GameEx_ArcadeEdition.app
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine Mac_GameEx.app
Then launch the application.

cinemarcade.com upscaled videos

By Tom Speirs

Back in 2001, a guy called David Dries created www.cinemacade.com and some fantastic MAME fan videos.
Skip forward nearly 20 years and I have upscaled three of the videos to 1440p, 60fps smooth motion.
The videos were converted with https://www.convert-it.org

You can find the original cinemacade.com website here:
http://mirrors.arcadecontrols.com/www.cinemarcade.com/

The videos can be used as system logos or startup videos.

XMatch

By Tom Speirs

XMatch is the official Spesoft and GameEx artwork matching utility for matching your artwork and video files to your game filenames.
Common sense matching. Not overzealous. Reports on non matches. Ability to use a single media file to replace anything not matched. Same logic as EmuMovies Sync Simple to use. Only the needed the features Requires the .net framework 2/3.5. If file will not launch install the required .net framework.
