  1. Hi guys ! This theme is a concept that I'm thinking of try. I really like GameEx, but there are some things new things on the interface that I want to try. Based on the figure bellow, I will try to explain what I want. Area 1 : Free Space I don't know what I'm going to do with this free space. I'm thinking about putting the game box on this area. But I'm not sure yet. Area 2 : A much clear Gamelist. No menu, No Text1 and Text2 fields. For me it only uses more space on the screen, because the Text 1 show the selected game. Which is already in focus, so we lose some space to display the same information. So, NO MENU, NO TEXT 1 & TEXT 2. Just the game list, pure and simple. Area 3 : The clock and the date. They are just an small part of GameEx ui. So, I don't want to give to then much attention. Clear font, no focus and in the corner. Just this. Area 4 : In game screenshot/video We don't spend too much time taking a look at the in game video. Only if we want to try, see games that we don't know. So here, no need to much focus. Just an small preview of the game Area 5 : Game Description. This is one of the things that GameEx have, and I didn't think about using it until today. I really like to use it, But the question is, This field can be persistent? We can use a diferent font size? Area 6 : Console Art. Another thing that I'm not sure to be using. It's because is pretty hard to find good quality images to all consoles and arcades. So for now it's just a test. Guys, please, let me know what you think of my ideas. I came to this because I kind studied how I use GameEx. And my primary focus is on the GameList, so the less things on the screen, better is my usability. One thing that I really want is one key navigation. I asked for it on the requests. I will ilustrate this here too. This is something that we have on Rockband games. You press a button (keep pressed) and a Windows pops on the screen allowing you to choose a letter. After this letter is chosen, the list jumps to the first game with this letter on the Game List. Like this So, see what you guys think of my ideas. I really like to talk about it !

  2. OK, here's what I came up with: You'll need to copy this to a notepad and save it as Override.xml ... and put it in PLUGINS/Game Info/ <overrides> <screen_number>1</screen_number> <screen_x>640</screen_x> <screen_y>480</screen_y> </overrides> Change the screen number to the one Windows actually assigns to the monitor you're using, and the Res X and Res Y according to that screen's resolution, and fire it up. Let me know what happens.

  4. OK, I've got this working in such a way that GameEx will prompt for a PS2 disc to be loaded if one is not present in the DVD drive. I've enclosed my working emulator config with in the spoiler tag. A few notes on these settings Check for CD/DVD: Yes CD File to Check: D:\SYSTEM.CNF (where D:\ is my DVD drive) Help Text: Interestingly enough I wasn't getting the actual DVD prompt to appear until I entered help text. It may have been a glitch with my system, but it's something to be aware of. All the same I felt that the help text would make things a bit more clear to the user any way. Map File: You can probably use the same map file you were using before. I've included the map file I used in the following spoiler tag. Play in Screen Saver: Be sure you're not playing this in the screensaver Merge Sets: No Specifying the SYSTEM.CNF file in this map file is completely superfluous, since you're not actually using that file to launch the emulator. All the same, you've got a record of the pertinent file name should you ever forget. Hopefully this should help to put you on the right track. Good luck Orlin!

  5. This is a new project I have started and are looking to finish within the next couple of hours. The basis of this project is to have a logo for every single game available for the specified system, in this case ColecoVision, The reason I will be creating these is for me, others and a future project. I am looking to do this for most systems available for use within GameEx. Yes I must be mad to take on more of this type of work but in the long run they will end up being used I am at the moment trying to steer clear of my themes due to the dedication this and my other logo sets involves. Some of the logos are sourced from elsewhere but I still have to find another 14 and work my magic. Please keep in mind that some of these logos are extremely hard to get as smooth as possible but I will try to do it.

  9. Here is the completed set, some of these are not perfect but are the best I could get them, I think its a pretty neat set. These are the kind of sets I was more concerned about as the artwork isnt great and creativity is limited due their quality. Sega Model 2 is next, which should be alot easier and the quality will be slightly better. ColecoVisionLogoSetKRC.zip
