HEY GUYS!!! Wow! I've been offline waaaaaay too long!!! First off, WOW! ELITE MEMBER!!! Thank-you so much! And a huge thank-you to Tom, and especially to Adultry for the words of thanks. Honeslty this is the nicest thing anyone has every said to me on the internet. And thank-you to all of you for the kind words. It's been 6 great years as a member of GameEx and look forward to the exciting things coming in the future. As for the theme(s), still working hard on theme. I actually had a release date planned for this month. 8/8/12 was supossed to be the BETA release date (I just liked the 8/8). But then I made some major changes, things that made me smack my head and say 'Why didn't I do this in the beginning!!. But not to worrry, I've talked to Tom and have my link to upload. So expect something next week. (This will give me this weekend to finish up a few last things). So let me catch you up, and let you know why I haven't been around.... First off I've just stated a new job doing webdesign and programming for a large Entertainment Magazine which has been keeping me quite busy. It's been quite chalanging, but I'm having a blast. With this new job I've also working with them as a journalist and photographer for the magazine. (what a horrible picture) And lastly I'm switching my home internet companies (unlimited bandwith here I come!!), so I haven't had the Interwebs for almost two weeks at home! I should have it up and running today. Once again, I cannot thank everyone enough for all the kind words, and all the work you've all done. This is by far the greatest community I've ever been a privliage to be a part of. (PS, I missed you guys, and I promise to have something for you all within the next few days)

First one I've built, still some minor things I want to add / move cosmetically. Cost far more than I originally budgeted Running gameEx frontend. Few shots are before the monitor bevel / t moulding etc was added, I will be removing the rope lights as they heat up too much. might even be bothered taking some real photos later once its complete

The 'Randomizer' can be used to randomize files for which GameEx would normally only use one static file. E.G. startup video, ambience.mp3 files, background images, etc. Run - Randomizer.exe and choose the static file that you want to randomize. Select the folder that contains the files that you want to use to replace the static image. Choose your options, and select the files that you want to use as replacements. Click 'Save' A Random.ini file will be created, open it and you will see something like this: [Randomize1]Option=1Folder=C:\Users\Matt\Desktop\Random\Random FilesFileToRandomize=C:\Users\Matt\Desktop\Random\File to Randomize.txtFileList=File to Randomize.txt|File1.txt|File2.txtRandomList=File2.txt|File1.txt|File to Randomize.txtRun the exe and setup the paths, click save. Setup The randomizer to run in the launch before, OR the the launch after in the emulator config. Usage: X:\Path to randomizer\Randomizer.02.exe "1|H:\AHK\My AHK\GameEx Scripts\Randomizer\Existing Files\[ROM].png" The number 1 is the section number as shown above [Randomize1] The path after the 1 is optional, but if used and a file that matches is found, that file will be used and NOT a random file. Make sure to enter YOUR path and extension. Muliple files can be randomized like this: x:\Path to randomizer\Randomizer.02.exe "1|H:\AHK\My AHK\GameEx Scripts\Randomizer\Existing Files\[ROM].png" "2|H:\AHK\My AHK\GameEx Scripts\Randomizer\More Files\[ROM].bmp" There MUST BE A SPACE between parameters! Randomizer.02.7z

Well I decided to go ahead with a new theme, Ive abandoned my Ultima theme (Its now marked as discontinued). This theme will be my theme that I will be working on from now on, its set at 1920x1080 and includes my own icon set. Some of these icons are available from my Projects thread and some are not (but they will be soon) Each emulator/system will have its own screen which will include various high res icons and logos, none of which ive even started yet but will hopefully start soon. Im currently working on a selector bar and should have it finished in an hour. Ive have attached a couple of snaps to show you the start of a long road ahead More to come soon.....

Confluence:GEX - coming soon A new theme for GameEx based on the XMBC Confluence theme. Please let me know if you have any comments, questions or suggestions. I still have quite a bit of work to do. Questions/Requests: - Full Text Formatting - I know this is a pretty popular request, but we'd be able to do so much more if we could control the style of all the text: [FONTS] TitleFont=Ariel TitleFontSize=24 TitleFontStyle=0 TitleFontAlignment=Right TitleFontColor=ffffff MenuFont=Ariel MenuFontSize=24 MenuFontStyle=0 MenuFontAlignment=Right MenuFontColor=ffffff ListFont=Ariel ListFontSize=24 ListFontStyle=0 ListFontAlignment=Right ListFontColor=ffffff - Can you use custom images for the weather? Maybe a rain.png, snow.png, sunny.png image? Can the weather be split into two objects? Maybe WeatherImage and WeatherText. We might be able to do some neat things with the weather if they were separate. - Maybe an option for stretching images and videos? ImageStretch=true Image2Stretch=false - Does anyone have a master theme.ini file? Has anyone made a FAQ on the theme.ini file. I do most of my work by editing the file rather then the theme editor. ...more questions to come!

where your "mame.ini" file is, depends what MAME you have installed. the original MAME, has its "mame.ini" in the installation folder of MAME. the MAME UI version have its "mame.ini" in the ini-folder of the installation folder of MAME UI. its not possible, that you dont have a "mame.ini" file (its a tiny file, approx. 7kb big). you can open this file with a text-editor and check the if the lines mentioned are inside, if not add them and save the "mame.ini" file. or just post your "mame.ini" content here.
