Wow, I finally finished my cabinet!! The cabinet name is 'Metacarpal Madness.' Which was because I broke the 4th metacarpal in my right hand trying to drill out starter holes for the coin door. My wife came up with it. I think mostly out of mocking me, but it stuck! haha I think it turned out pretty good. I have a main power button on the control panel and also a bottle opener on the side. That was a must! The control panel can be removed for ease of moving through doorways. I can post more on it if people like it. I uploaded a few photos of the end result. I am now looking into some finishing touches. Are these things really ever done!?! They are a nice hobby though, that's for sure. I have always wanted to get a spinner and a couple of aimtrac guns from ultimarc. But, with my daughter in daycare our funds are a little tight. I already have a wii and 4 rechargeable wiimotes, which i actually use to play mame on my ipad at times. I am wondering if anyone can direct me to a site of reference where I can get a step by step guide on setting up the use of wiimotes in mame, as well as using them in the Nestopia emulator among others. In the end I think I will have a spinner on the control panel and purchase the wheel attachment at ultimarc. That way I can at least play a little pole position or APB without too much trouble. I put 2 USB ports on the outside of both sides of the control panel, in anticipation of the aimtrac guns and other USB items (ipod, etc) Max

In another fine contribution to the community EmuMovies has upped the daily cap for other image types to 1GB from 256MB (snaps and titles already had no limit) for free accounts.. Therefore this release of GameEx enhances the automatic download feature to also download boxes, carts, marquees and cabs for users using free accounts with EmuMovies. Thank you EmuMovies. Enjoy!

Note: Ive updated the plugin (first post) and also GameEx (same version). It now correctly returns focus to XBMC even if its not running full screen windowed. Cheers.

Well had to re-do all these backgrounds that I started as it was a bit off-center and was bugging me so I am fixing them. In the process I updated the framework as well. Sorry Starbuck I know you had been working on creating some but I needed to make a few tweaks to the menu locations for better visuals of the background as well as the video preview window. Note on the updated Millipede background. I added a homebrew bezel to the video preview window.

Here are a couple DMD style logo images of Future & Visual Pinball.

Unfortunately Life makes demands that cannot be ignored. I have been working here and there on it and hope to have it available before Christmas. Mostly cleanup and minor details/corrections. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement!

Here is a better example of the update...

Hello and Good Morning/Evening/Afternoon! There are several people, software, and websites that I am very greatful to have come across (and learn from) since I started this "adventure" in building my own arcade cabinet (dub name "Box O' Awesome ) - this site, the members here, and GameEx take a big part of that pie. As a show of appriciation for all the hard work, sweat, and hours that has been put into GameEx and this forum from both Tom Speirs, as well as many other admins, moderators, and members, I would love to contribute any services that may be needed to help continue making GameEx the best front end software to date! I'm still in the process of learning as much as I can, and hopefully more, about GameEx and any troubleshooting tips. As I learn more, I will help the people who begin using this software more. And hopefully, with Tom's permission, one day I can help create software that will work hand in hand with GameEx. Until that day comes, all I can do now is request to help out with smaller issue. One thing that I have in mind is this: Emumovies is a great website, and I have to give credit where credit is due - if it wasn't for that website, I would have spent long hours manually gathering all artwork needed, making video and image snaps, etc. If anyone here has any difficulty finding or gathering any type of artwork that they need from EmuMovies, please send me a message here including the name of the game, version, platform, and rom name, and I will do my very best to find the artwork for you, or make it, and I will send it to you (as well as upload it to EmuMovies, if they will allow me to). Please let me know what you think . LC
